What really bothers me is she used the term "foot on the throat"...It is almost as bad as what Imus said and is completely unacceptable... Im sorry you have had to endure it

Your sarcasm doesn't really work here. What offends most people isn't her terminology but rather her obvious contempt for their conservative values.

Come on now everybody. Enough is enough.

I won't defend Howlin's overall demeanor in the forum.

But IMO, the post that everybody is outraged about has been overbolown.

Taken in strict context, she says the Republican Party will definitely NOT be DNC-Lite, but will have to move a lot more to the center if it expects to win elections.

And the conservatives that are strident on abortion and gun laws are going to have to become 'average catholics'...in analogical parlance.

Good catholics who practice birth control. Divorced ones that still go to church and give up sweets for Lent.

We're looking for religious right members that could...IF HE BECOMES THE NOMINEE...hold their noses and vote for him rather than allow a Clinton to run this nation again.
