They just cannot get it through their heads that “moderation” is not seen as responsible, but compromising core values.

Neville Chamberlain: “I have talked with ‘the moderate’ Mister Hitler, and he has agreed to only conquer *half* of Europe, and exterminate *half* the Jews! This ‘moderation’ on both our parts is essential to a ‘good outcome’. So as long as Mister Hitler holds up his part of the deal, everyone should be satisfied.”

The GOP is the Will Muschamp of political parties.

A well-dressed leader without a firm grasp of playing offense or defense?

Hey Florida, TOSU wants to know if you want Urban Myer back!

As to the subject, the middle ground draws no distinctions so why bother to vote GOP?

Already growing disillusioned with the Liar, I see.

Don’t worry, he’ll quit on you guys soon enough.

The only things I ever see in the “middle of the road” are Yellow stripes and dead chickens.

What the Washington Post calls moving to the middle, I call white flag waving, punked-out capitulation to the other side.

Well, it’s typical FR on an election year where we hear all kinds of things. Accusations fly, tempers flare and the ban hammer’s generously wielded. =)

I just want to remind people that if you can’t vote for who’s at the top of the ticket, remember that candidates need support down the line.

So register. And participate in primaries so that one day you have someone at the top who you’re proud to vote for!

As I posted over here as a reminder about who the democrats are. Some democrat sponsored legislation from my Michigan legislative update.

Democrats are dead serious about permenently ending us politically.

Why would the democrats do the work the GOPe’s are willing to do?
The GOPe’s have divided the party more than the RATs could ever do.

Politicians without principles, they would probably be democrats if they had thought that would have got them elected.

And Mitch “you racist conservatives, need a punch in the face” McConnell isn’t?

Waiting for the tack back to the right with their usual lies and bloviating to try and sucker the blacks of the GOP, the conservatives back into the fold and vote for these putrid liberal turds.

The GOP is not about saving the country or Constitution they are all about the $$$ and power if you believe otherwise they have you right where they want you.
