Anyone left who thinks the GOP and Dems are different parties? Anyone? Buehler?

When you have a rash of supposedly sane and conservative leaning people endorsing the most liberal candidate the GOP has EVER put up, perhaps it’s time to reevaluate the whole third party idea...and FAST.

In light of the current crop in congress and with the revelations of this primary season, eventually people are going to have to admit the GOP of today is the opposite of what many conservatives believe in.

Bolton has always been a liberal. He just managed to fool people into thinking otherwise.

Bolton’s expertise is in the area of foreign affairs. It should be common knowledge his Conservative credentials on domestic issues remains wanting.

Maybe all those Freepers who gave me all that crap for calling this guy an A-hole over the years will reconsider.

Bolton has long been nothing more than a big-government globalist who found a home in the Republican Party. You can bank on it, folks . . . Every one of these jack@sses is going to line up behind Romney.

At least, until I knew about whether his supposed ‘conservatism’ indeed spread to other issues.

I thought I remembered him being liberal on some social issues. From googling, I just found a few unreliable sites saying that he is gay-friendly but pro-life. Overall, I gather that he only really cares about national defense issues.

I just googled "John Bolton social issues," and the top result was a National Review post from 12/8/10. I mention this because I thought it was ironic that one of the only fourteen comments on that post was "This is a hilarious joke. I liked Bolton, but come on! Will there be a Rick Santourm profile next!" Of course, the top of the page has the cover of the current issue, which profiles Santorum.

"Similarly, he could be a big gay-marriage supporter and an all-out lefty libertine on social issues."

He's pretty big in the NRA. He damn sure ain't no lefty-libertine.

Welcome to the United Soviet States of America..where the Pravda State Media “vet” the candidates to the pleasure and needs of the RinoCrat UniParty.

This “election” will be a non-election...featuring the state approved “candidates”-whose only distinction is whether they are black or white.

You are correct, but that is hardly unique. There is no shortage of them in the GOP, or in the race for the nomination.

I frankly never understood what was so special about Bolton and why he’s newsworthy. All I remember is a boring guy with a big mustache. Yet for some reason, certain groups treat him as if he were a big deal.

Most likely means, Palin's not planning on entering.

NO cheers, unfortunately.

Anyone left who thinks the GOP and Dems are different parties? Anyone? Buehler?

I struggle with that and have flirted in the past with disengaging form politics altogether. On one hand I don't like govt, its mission, or politicians period, and am happy to lump them all together. But I always come back to the fact that one flavor seeks ever greater presence and power(which implies coercion or control), whilst the other not quite so much. And my choice is made in favor of the lesser evil.

It's also helpful for me to recall something said long ago:

"Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn't mean politics won't take an interest in you." --Pericles, ca. 430 BCP

I wouldn’t say the hell with Bolton. It’s a game of poker right now and he believes his best hand is with Mitt. Why? Maybe he’s privvy to a fix rumor...who knows? What we all know is that no matter what? Bolton is an ace and a bit of a cowboy when it comes to dealing with UN Scum. I just hope that when Newt , Perry or Santorum come from behind and smash Slick Romney they all know what and who Bolton is.

I agree!! As dirty a race as Myth has ran so far, it's about time SOMEONE gets behind him, gets him loose, and puts him into the wall.
