"GOP trembles at the angry tone of conservative activists"
http://news.yahoo.com/s/politico/20091022/pl_politico/28589

I am absolutely loving this...the GOP is now scared of the very animal it created. They should have nipped whackos like Limpballs and Dreck in the bud, but instead allowed their falsehoods and hate to fester into something they can no longer control.

Now the thing to do is, (a) tie ALL Repuke politicians to these idiots, or (b) make them totally disavow them...those are the ONLY choices.

:thumbsup:

1. I have no problems with true conservatives
They bring something to the table and the country needs opposing viewpoints. But true conservatives are like the passenger pigeon these days .. extinct. What we have now is RW nutjobs running under the flag of conservatism and all they bring is cultural and economic stupidity. You could have a good political discussion with a real conservative but the new Repub party? You may as well bang your head against the proverbial brick wall.

2. You can't have legitimate discussion with today's rightwingers.
Their conversations always start from viewpoints outside of reality.

3. Exactly
Debate is absolutely gone, they approach politics like religion and to these current "Republicans" so if you disagree with them the reaction is very much like you have insulted their religion. There isn't any compromise with people who think like this, and our political system is built for compromise. There is a war mentality from them, civil war, scary.

4. You invited the crazy psycho into your bed, GOP.
Now you're finding out it's not that easy to get rid of her.

5. Right vs Left.. media fails to expose Up vs Down...
Shame on Ronald Raygun for gutting the American media.. where one or two Corporations control all media content (Clear Channel, Fox)

While the corporate media (like barking dogs) harp endlessly on the right/left paradigm, it acts merely as a smokescreen for the real issue, which is Up vs Down.

As long as the sheeple are busy listening to Limpballs and company, they do not recognize that the Bankster/Gangsters are robbing us blind. Wall Street and the big banks run amok and thumb their nose at any and all attempts at regulation. The Fed refuses to open it's books to Congress, Tim Geithner has no idea where the TARP money has gone and Karl Rove refuses to appear on a subpoena.

Big Insurance writes the policy.. and our CONgress rubber stamps it. Big Banks write the credit card laws.. and our Congress rubber stamps it. The MIC writes the Patriot Act.. and our Congress rubber stamps it.

If you dare speak up or point out that we are being robbed, the armored personnel carriers with LRAD Cannons will roll into your town. (St. Paul at the RNC and Pittsburgh at the G-20)

The real issue is Up vs Down, where one worker is now doing the job that formerly hired 4 workers. (and they are doing it for less than the wages they made in 1970)

The problem is not with the American Worker.. the problem is in the board rooms of the Federal Reserve, Fox News and in the halls of Congress.
