If anyone who was a liberal in their youth is disqualified, then I hope JimRob is prepared to ban half of Freeperdom.

As far as the rest, thanks again for proving the OP’s point.

No... sorry... that was not the argument. Certainly people could have been dims in the past and then changed their ideology... take Reagan for example... but working for jimmy carter is something that may be fine for a congressman or woman... but it is in my opinion... a disqualification from running for President as a republican. Take Dick Morris... he has changed his ideology from liberal to “moderate:... but I would never vote for him for any office. You want to know what you get when you have someone raised and reared on progressivism and then have somewhat of a change later in life... you get someone just like charles krauthammer and mitt romney. You also have progressives that cannot win on the dim ticket so they switch parties to run as a republican... take bloomberg and specter for two examples.

Chris Matthews Gushes On Real Time:“Real” Michele Bachmann Is “My Hero”..She’s Going All The Way

mediaite ^ | Friday June 17, 2011 | Glenn Davis

“Tea party favorite Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., has unveiled a plan for cutting $400 billion in federal spending that includes freezing Veterans Affairs Department health care spending and cutting veterans’ disability benefits.

Her proposed VA budget cuts would account for $4.5 billion of the savings included in the plan, posted on her official House of Representatives website.”

WTF?! Looks like that talk about her getting on the Romney bandwagon has some meat to it!! IIRC, no Romney has ever served in uniform since they came here, so what are veteran's benefits to them but a liability? Now taxes on trust funds, hedge funds and stock sales is another matter....

I just stated the truth and you twisted it into something it wasn't. The thread linked above represents the kind of republican political ideology you get from someone that was a progressive dim that worked for carter and then has a "change of heart"!
