[RKBA Democrat]

"We need a scrapper and a street fighter. I am sick of these lilly white phony scared of their own shadow RINO politicians who always overpromise and underdeliver."

Well put. And that goes a long way to explain why I choose to be a Democrat rather than a Republican. I prefer a reliable adversary to a feckless ally.

"If this continues, the Democrats are a lock for 08."

It's beginning to look that way.

I find it amazing that a majority political party that controls both houses of Congress, the Presidency, most legislatures, and most governorships seems bound and determined to seize defeat from the jaws of victory.

I'm just hoping that my party will nominate someone like Mark Warner or Evan Bayh.

So, is the problem GOP fear or cowardice? It does sound like we Republicans are doing all we can to promote a Democrat victory in 2008, doesn't it? I was even under the impression that GWB is said to "not mind" if HRC succeeds him.

Let's see.......

"Your" party is the party controlled by George Soros and Move.On, Al Franken, Babs Streisand, George Clooney, Little Dick Durbin, Ted ( the swimmer ) Kennedy, Barbara Boxer, Chuckie Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, the Clintons, etc, etc, etc. Need I go on???

I'm thrilled that you choose to be in the company of those people. I'm sure that you are a thorn in their side. But, you called these people "worthy" adversaries?? You are joking, aren't you?? Call them for what they are: unAmerican, socialist, traitors.

And while there are some nut cases within the Republican Party, they certainly don't come close to being the danger that the above group represents.

If you think that the left wing moonbats who control your party will nominate Bayh or Warner, you are delusional.

Time to wake up and smell the coffee. The very worst Republican is the very best democRAT. I don't see that changing any time soon, and I don't see a democRAT entering The White House for years and years to come. And that will happen ONLY if you "purge" your party of the unAmerican, left wing defeatist, socialists from within. Good luck. You need it!!

Mark Warner? Allen my be squishy on illegals.......but Warner will welcome them with open arms.

I choose to be a Democrat rather than a Republican. I prefer a reliable adversary to a feckless ally.

So, to paraphrase Patton, you'd rather have a Democrat division in front of you than a Republican division behind you.

Allen's apostasy certainly adds credence to such a philosophy.
