How about MoveOn and 'General Betrayus'? How insulting is that.

No outcry from the Dems over that, I know more than a few who contributed to them.

And now that he reports to Obama he's Petraeus again. But MoveOn is still 'respected'.

Well how about those wonderful Wall Street people in Moody's who rated those junk derivatives as AAA, I don't see or hear and cons calling for their heads.

I assume by "us" you mean Democrats? It's the Democrats here that snub any efforts to create uniformity in the voting rules (I guess you would call it that) across the state along with rejecting any notion of requiring voters to provide photo id at the polling place.

I believe that the argument is that it is "unfair" to people without proper documents and restrict their right to participate. Problem is that without, the result is and should be questioned from the start. If thing deteriorate into a recount situation like they did with Coleman/Franken, it just becomes a pissing match costing the people millions in the process. He who can piss furthest is declared the winner.

Much of it is also that people willing to get into politics at that level are likely well entrenched in the horse trading that much of politics is. That being said, I prefer the Democrats. They may be bastards, but they're my bastards.

My question for the Republicans out there is whether you are satisfied with the people who appear to be the face of the GOP: I'm talking about people like Rush Limbaugh, the Fox News crew, Sarah Palin (who fits in with the Fox News crew now, I guess) and the newly elected senator from Massachusetts, who is noW being touted as a symbol of America's rejection of the Democratic policies. Do these people speak for you, as a Republican? Why or why not?

I think if I were a Republican I would be embarrassed by jackasses such as Limbaugh, Hannity, Palin et al.
I can recall hearing Hannity for the first time and thinking; "Who in the hell would listen to this phoney windbag?" But, that's me. Generally, when they start shouting "This is a Christian nation!!", is when I shut them off. And he does that ad nauseum.

I am registered as an independent, but I do lean left, so I would have to say Democrats should just be embarrassed. But I do like Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, mainly for the humor aspect though. I've never found Limbaugh funny per se, even when I was a "ditto-head" long ago. At some point I decided he was just a monotonous asshole, and went back to listening to music.

There was considerable back lash over that. I've never contributed to MoveOn. I sometimes like their messages and sometimes don't. I did write to them about the "General Betrayus" disaster.
