    I fail to see how me posting quotes from current conservative candidates is less civilized than you posting quotes that are generic smears against all liberals.

    And unfortunately for you, right now Sarah Palin does define the Republican Party. Are you actually trying to deny that? Normally, the last Republican candidate for President would be the standard bearer. But McCain has abdicated, and let Palin have the job.

    Palin has publicly and actively endorsed both O'Donnell and Angle. Are you denying that, too?

    I could also have given you Paladino in New York telling a reporter, "I'll take you out," Maes in Colorado claiming Denver's bicycle-sharing program is part of a United Nations plot to undermine American sovereignty, and a few other fun quotes.

    Face it: it's a little crazy out there in politics land right now, and most of the craziness is coming from Republican candidates.

    I don't want to quote you any longer Troy -- apparently it was somewhere along post #223 that I hit your hot button, or perhaps it was Hoytedow in 233 ... I don't know. I took it offline, you want to keep it online.

    I won't be back until this stops or moves to a new thread.

    I'm in the middle of answering your PM, in between taking care of business. I don't see where you can complain because meanwhile I responded to your snotty, gratuitous and insulting quotes here about liberalism, with some of my favorite quotes.

    You want to take free shots at liberals publicly, but you don't want anyone to embarrass conservatives in return? You're a little one-way there, son. ;)

    Your game Troy. I'm done with it being here-- and I'm sure the moderator is too. Let's take our PM's public on a new thread. You start it, and I'll paste it. Let me know when ...

    No, I'm done with you.

    I wasn't really interested in a long debate; I just wanted to see if you could defend your claim that my entire post was 'so disconnected from reality that it's hard to comprehend.' And quite frankly, you didn't come close. Your PM wasn't even on-topic most of the time, much less a good rebuttal.

    If you want to post our exchange of PM's in a new thread and comment on it, be my guest; I'm sure you'll get plenty of responses. But I won't be there.

    By the way, this is what....your third or fourth proclamation that you're done with me in this thread? I'm starting to feel like Yosemite Sam: "Shut up shuttin' up already, Rabbit!"

    Troy, asking the "real" GOP to defend the latest crop of up starts like Paul in Kentucky, or McDonnell in Delaware or the God awful statements from Angle in Nevada or any of the other "fringe" elements that the GOP has been forced to get in bed with this cycle, just isn't reasonable. How does the GOP get aboard when the dismantling of social security, the elimination of the department of education, shooting of current political rivals and forcing women to have the babies of their rapist are the declared values of these candidates.

    Paylin is just the latest fool that's been convinced she's someone to deal with, when in fact she's a no body. She was placed on the McCain ticket because of the women's vote, in an attempt to draw off some support from Obama and to help with the younger voter, neither of which she was able to bring to the table come election day. Her handlers should be ashamed of themselves, but then again this would mean surrendering their jobs. Telling this poor women she's the next GOP leader of the free world is just irresponsible. She can't even spell her prospective title. She's scatted along on her looks and manner since she was a teenager and is hoping this will continue into the white house. Pleeese, she's not the quality of individual that we need or that is electable for the post. Hell, she couldn't even take the heat of a governorship in an insignificant state. She didn't experience any more difficulty then any other governor, but it was too much for her. She'd **** the bed if she was in the white house.

    The bottom line is just what the GOP is saying it will do, if given power and this, by their own words, is a return to the exact same fiscal and political policies that caused the greatest mess this side of world wars and the great depression. Yea, this is just what we need a return to the Bush era business model. This is the biggest problem the GOP has, failed policies and dysfunctional leadership. These policies and leadership qualities have literally screwed this country good, for the last decade and the far right is taking advantage first.

    Come election day, there will be some gains, but the house and senate will remain democratic. Then the crap will hit the fan and many members of the each house will have to decide who to caucus with, the fruit loops or the GOP. Currently siding with the GOP has been a death nail, at least in the GOP primaries. If this trend continues, the GOP will have no choice but to square up with the fruit loops or let them divide their party into a third. This will become the internal battle from hell for the GOP and they'll attempt to "fix" it quickly in the next session, but I suspect this isn't going to go away and the 2012 election will be the GOP's breaking point, with Sara, I haven't a clue Paylin, but everyone says that I do, leading the charge.

    the gop is dying on the vine and just doesn't know it

    the rest of the country is slowly passing them by

    it's just a bunch of die hards holding on to the end

    the question is how much damage can they do until then

    They may not be 'real' Republicans, Paul, but the GOP is the only political home the sort of conservatives who love and defend Sarah Palin have. They ran people like me out of the party years ago, and they can have it with my blessings.

    Yes, I agree the 'real' GOP has a real problem on its hands with the current crop of fruit loops/wingnuts. It's in the same position the Democrats were in years ago, when all the leftist moonbats came streaming into their party -- only worse, because the moonbats never managed to hijack the Democratic Party apparatus the way the wingnuts have hijacked the GOP's grassroots organizations and primaries. And the moonbats didn't have the money behind them the wingnuts have.

    Something getting very little press is that the Tea Partiers* aren't quite the spontaneous, leaderless, grass-roots uprising they're being portrayed as. They've been heavily financed and encouraged by corporate interests, who have a stake in taking down Obama and stifling any attempts to rein in big business.

    Common sense should have alerted people to that; it takes big money to swing elections these days -- especially if you start as a nobody. So spend a few minutes googling to follow the money back to the Koch brothers, for example, who have made George Soros look like a piker. And they aren't the only ones using the Tea Partiers as patsies.

    *I've reluctantly decided to swear off calling people in the Tea Party movement Teabaggers, because it offends Hoyt. No one lets me have any fun anymore....:(

    How can this even be an argument?
    The Socialists are trying to dominate the U.S. political system by buying votes from non-thinkers.
    The Conservatives are trying to get the U.S. back into responsible politics again.

    Capitalism always had been and is still the ONLY answer to our problems. Irresponsible Spending of the efforts of Capitalism by the Socialists is an enormous part of our Political problems.

    Which group do you want to support?

    Let's get rid of the Mexicans, put the Political miscreants in Jail, cut off Welfare, cut off spending in the U.N. and bring our Troops back home.
    Cut taxes by cutting spending.
    Make it profitable for small business, but cutting the Tax debts.
    Let's put a moratorium on Imports. "If you bring anything across our borders it must come with an unequivocal 1 year GUARANTEE, no arguments.
    If you bring food across our borders, make sure the USDA and other Fed agencies that protect our welfare had certified where it came from as safe.

    WE the voters had better get together, stop this non-nonsensical arguing and hold some body's feet to the Fire until we get the U.S. back on track again.

    Which Party? That's an easy question to answer.
    How to get the Voters together instead of driving them apart is the tough question.

    Remember two words folks.
    Integrity: Self Honesty. Knowing the Facts and pursuing the facts till you have them.
    Responsibility: That's a lot tougher. "To thine own self be true" which brings you back to integrity.

    I asked my Congressman who is a Lawyer, why Chris Dodd, Charlie Wrangell and Barny Frank are not already in jail.
    The Cowardly POS has ignored me for over a year now.

    You're right; there's no argument at all. Especially since you still don't know the difference between a conservative and a capitalist.

    But tell me: how you gonna pay for and enforce all those border inspections, moratoriums and guarantees (and where you gonna find the manpower) after you finish slashing government spending?

    Less taxes, less government, more protection and more services? You're looking for a perpetual motion government, son, where you get more out of it than you pay in. You obviously can't do simple arithmetic, so take my word for it: it ain't gonna happen.

    Sorry, Vulkyn. Bad habit we Americans have. We've been beating each other up for two or three hundred years now....:p:p:p
