I think you may be correct. Think I'll just curl up on the couch with a "book of Marx" and retreat into my dark world of welfare checks and self loathing..........................

Good idea. At $400 a month you are better off with welfare than working.
(I believe that is what NY pays)

Yes and no. In many ways, it's the far left and far right that have become each party's "base." The movers and shakers in both parties are far to the left and right, respectively, of the electorate at large.

Everyone in AZ has known Hayworth was going to run for a while now. He has been illegally campaigning on his daily talk show for monthe until the station was forced to pull him off the air or give equal time to his prospective opponents.

If any of you have ever heard him speak he's pretty far out there. Being as I live here in nut job central I'm used to the politics being pretty nasty (where else have they impeached 2 governors?) but it looks like its really going to ratchet up this year. The hotbuttons seem to be illegal immigrants and govt bailouts and of course Hayworth is painting Mcain as a card carrying leftist Democrat.

he used to make 'phone' appearances on the 'imus' show when it was on msnbc (don't know the 'bout current imus show) and he came across as being to the far right then.

The Tea Partiers aren't happy about that. They don't like having their darling supporting a "RINO" like McCain.

true dat. all i know is it's gonna make for some great and entertaining (to me) political fireworks. i'm looking forward the upcoming circus that is gonna be 'republican vs republican' as much as i ever looked forward to any rock concert, etc.

'course, at the end of the day, the question is is any of this gonna benefit the country? (rhet/or not)
