lets see the GOPe win without Conservatives.

Miss Ellie’s got the vapors again. I remember her Newsweek columns. You could actually smell them.

[snuffy smiff]

What made you think that vile skank ever had a soul?

[Eva]

I have come to realize that many of the Republican insiders are Third Way supporters. That is why they refuse to stop Obama’s immigration.

[hinckley buzzard]

Dang, I thought Eleanor Clift was dead too.

A common misconception, since even before she left Cleveland her scribbles showed no sign of actual brain activity.

[hinckley buzzard]

Not true. Clift knows that, but says it anyway.

she knows but assumes that her idiot readers will not.

Pocono Record? Eleanor Clift is now working the Borscht Belt.

And in the end even though he fought the labor unions, Scott Walker’s name should be among the moderates because he has not lifted a finger in opposition to the GOPe like Cruz and Palin and even Rand Paul have.

[Fester Chugabrew]

When I look for serious discourse on the current political scene I always seek out Tina Fey, Stephen Colbert, and Eleanor Clift. /s

Dang, I thought Eleanor Clift was dead too.

You'd think so, shriveled old shrieking nag. I'm so disappointed to hear she hasn't eaten the big one yet. But that air hose John McLaughlin keeps throwing her on his show apparently gives her enough oxygen to go on spewing her bile.

Ever notice that liberals tell us they hate Palin's voice, but that Eleanor sounds a lot like her when she goes up a couple of octaves to shout down Pat Buchanan?

Odious old hag. A thousand pox-pustules be upon her.

[MayflowerMadam]

I’m hearing Jane Curtin and Dan Aykroyd: “ELEANOR, YOU IGNORANT SLUT!”

[skeeter]

NOT A ZEALOT - Eleanor Clift

[EvilCapitalist]

Hey, go easy on us. I hate the Pocono Record as much as the next conservative, but I only live about 10 miles from the Pocono Record Headquarters. There’s some good conservatives in the area. We have the same problem that Colorado has. Colorado had a major influx of leftist Californians, and the Pocono’s has had a major influx of people from NYC.

I of course am native Pennsylvanian going back at least 4 generations.

I love the Poconos. In 1974 I wound up in Vermont where I worked in a variety of jobs for two years. I let the insurance lapse on my car and sure enough, two weeks later it was stolen. After about 10 days I got a call from the Colorado Springs Police saying they had recovered my car. It was summer so I decided to hitchhike. A friend of mine decided to go with me. The first day we got down into Pennsylvania on I-95 then decided to head west. Somehow we ended up in the mountains on foot on a two-lane road. It was dark and then it started raining. Then all of a sudden this big new Pontiac (I think a GTO) pulled up and stopped. There were two young women in the car and they offered us a ride. We got in the back seat and explained who we were and where we were headed.

These girls—today I can't remember their names—were on their way to the Mount Airy Lodge where they worked. They said if we wanted to stay there they could get us a discount on a room rate. The Lodge was interesting. It was run by a bunch of young Italian guys wearing gold crucifixes. The next morning the girls gave us a ride up to Scranton. It was a beautiful drive. From Scranton we headed west.

I lived in Colorado off and on for eight years. I still think of it as a Red state. In the mid 1970’s when I lived in Vermont it was still mostly conservative. I moved to Tennessee in 1990 and it has gotten even redder over the years. We still have some old die-hard Dixiecrats. They are fond of saying things like, “Obama may be a ni__er but he's our ni__er.”
