Considering what the choices are on election day, I can see why.

During his presidency, the words Katrina, Rumsfeld, Abramoff, Guantánamo and Libby have become shorthand for incompetence, cronyism or extremism

Damn, almost all the liberal buzzwords (which the msm created), but they left out Enron and Haliburton from the early days.

I often taunt leftists with “What is the color of the sky in your universe?” because it seems for all intents & purposes that they are working from an alternate reality (heavy on the alternate).

Whatever point the author had hoped to make, he lost all credibility (for all but idiots) by his editorial excess.

The funny thing (to me) is that Dhimmis aren’t blissful in their ignorance - they are absolutely miserable! Even when they ‘win’ they lose!

This is a clue to separate the wheat from the chaff: For the social moderates if you want to engage in queerness, drugs, porn and other life destroying choices go ahead. That is called freedom.

But don’t force your lifestyle choice onto me. Don’t compel me to pay for your one abortion after another while you “find yourself”. Don’t use crooked judges to validate your immoral choices. Don’t blame me when you find yourself dying in your fifties of life style related disease. Don’t compel me to pay for the hospitalization for your choices. Relish in your freedom of choice but accept responsibility and the consequences for your poor choices.

That my friends is the difference between the so-called moderate republicans and social conservatives. As a social conservative I’m not going to force you to become a heterosexual or go to church. Rather it is you, the moderate forcing your choices onto me.

The Ecommunist saying Reagan would have went for fed funded stem cell research is rich.
