A question for Republicans

[d-ray657]

That transcript can't be accurate. Someone from that left-wing tool MSNBC was actually blasting a Democratic candidate for office? Say it ain't so.

Back OT, I know that the Democratic party has screwed up in many ways. I also know that it is a somewhat diverse party. The point of my question is that those who are most visible as speaking for the GOP seem to have a particularly anti-government, anti-tax, somewhat vicious line. Do mainstream Republicans think that those people are speaking for them?

Regards,

So you're equating the public statement (which were publicly discussed and roundly condemned) of one stupid and unsuccessful Democratic candidate for public office with a secret and systematic campaign of voter disenfranchisement, voter suppression, vote flipping, judicial malfeasance and harrassment of public officials?

Give me a break.

I'll see your Kucinich and Sheenen and raise you a Schmidt and a Boehner.

I guess my point is...


* Bush, Florida 2000
* Franken in MN
* This gal
* Phyllis Kahn calling for 16 yr old's to vote.
* All seemingly rejecting required voter ID or calling for it but not getting it done.
* ACORN

Tip of the iceberg and the list goes on and on. Yes, we have problems.



To answer the OP's question. I'm much more in tune with the Republican message than what the Dem's have to offer. Keep in mind that I firmly believe the democrat party of today hardly resembles that of my Father's Democrat party.

Appearances can be deceiving.

Sure, I'll say this- I think Kucinich is brilliant and at some point in my life I've voted for some of the 'nuts on the west coast'. Here's the deal- we need a Pelosi. She is bulletproof. No republican will EVER win her seat. The Mass. mess not withstanding, you have to live in Nor. Cal. understand what I mean. Hell, I was the most conservative guy in Berkeley. They think of her as main streem.

So she can sling the shit with the ass holes on the right. We havent had a voice of her caliber for the left since Tip O'Neil. Damn I liked old Tip. She doen'st have to worry about being elected so she has no need to back down. And say what you will about Reid, she has gone into that hell hole and gotten shit done.

Okay, back to Kucinich- he's brilliant (and his wife is hot). If you haven't, you should read his "Prayer for America".

His role is to define the left- and he does it well. Not as a radical, but as a thoughtful guy with very, very progressive ideas. What he would do if made King is probably not what most Democrats would agree to. But he shows what the outside looks like and helps define an Obama as a centrist.

Still I think allot of his ideas are good.

Just having a good idea or agenda is simply not enough however.

He went a bit nuts hanging around Shirley McClain I'm afraid

He does seem like a nice guy and really comes from 'the people'.

Rush is just a shock jock. I dont think many republicans even listen to his
rants. Occasionally I will tune in on the drive home from work but only
because a sports network follows his show. He has several personality
voices he uses to argue with himself. A whiney one for the libs and a strong
one for the cons and several others he uses. Not so sure any are his and
I would bet money more democrats listen than otherwise.

RUSH
"the republicans are morons out to cut my social security and they are
the root of all evil and everything thats wrong with this country"
RUSH
"THE DEMOCRATS ARE OUT TO DESTROY THE FREE MARKET ENTERPRISE
IN THIS COUNTRY"

There, now you dont have to listen in today
