"It's quite clear these "Republican" Senators are plants."
They aren't plants. They are Republicans.
This nation has moved to the left over the years. There are now three political parties.
The Conservatives - The Right
The Liberals - The Left
The Republicrats - The Center
This is why O'Connor is known as the swing vote. Our nation hasn't changed. Our politicians changed. And herein lies the battle in 08. A RAT pol cannot win the primary without the left vote. A Republican pol cannot win without the right vote. However, it will be someone from the middle that will win in 08. Because the middle are the swing voters.
Sorry....but....I consider myself a conservative (your category of 'The Right'?) and I resent being put in ANY position of comparison with 'The Left', since there IS no comparison, as they are a group of unhinged (Rush is right!), hate-filled/hate-fueled morons. Could you possibly add another category or rename 'The Left' to 'The Wackoleft'?
