Oh my AB is angry with me.
Well first, I was referring to a comment by Rocklobster as he and another poster on this thread engage in a love fest over the very elite trying to work with the Dems that they too may remain part of the Ruling Class.
I never thought of you as a RINO lover, AB...never even crossed my mind.
Hey, I live in purple Delaware....with one county bright red, one light purple, one bluer than an morning sky. In the 12+ years I’ve been living here it’s went from Repub to Dem control and hey, that’s ok. The will of the people and all that.
I do NOT think that for the party representing me should be changing with the demographic or else they should join the other party. MY principles didn’t change but those I elected DID.
Still, it’s a matter of degree isn’t it? I’d easily have no issue with a Repub that didn’t oppose abortion (as opposed, say, to one who ENCOURAGED it) but Mike Castle went too far.
I am reminded of Charlie Crist....say, weren’t we told to trust this guy, that he had to say some things, don’t us worry about how he sounds like forked tongue? So where is Charlie now?
Say he’s now a Democrat? Who’d a thunk?
Or Thad Cochran....so okay he won but the pub elite spent millions and right now they’ve got millions from the Chamber of Commerce crowd.
The middle class, which is mostly us, are mostly happy, law-abiding folk....and we’ve been called names before. Nixon called us the silent majority....a vast wasteland.
We don’t turn things around quickly out here and la-la land and that might be a good thing. We are in the millions and our power is in our numbers but it’s a power difficult to harness.
Still I’d argue, with Charlie Crist and Thad Cochran the trend is to slowly but methodically get those Elites out of there.
Just my two cents and now they’re only worth a penny.
Mike Castle too was part of this changing trend and he was going to lose soon to a Democrat anyway. I’d argue the base is winning but it’s slow. Yet still today, yay many years after the great Castle throwover we are still out here in la-la land trying to overthrow the elite and hey, it’s one step backward and two steps forward sometimes.
In the end the numbers will win.
Thank you and it appears we do agree on most.
But let me defend Rock. He is not “engaged in a love fest” and it is misleading to characterize it as such, especially a great friend as Rock is to us, whom we know and I assure that Rock is as solid a conservative as the rest of us. He is saying he supports a RINO over a democrat. No more than that.
That does not a love fest make, plain and simple.
Pat, you have a way with words, but sometimes your words are hyperbole.
