I’d love the demise of the democrat party if the republican party wasn’t waiting to snatch up the banner of neo-liberalism and rush it triumphantly over the leftern horizon.
Bobama and the Beast suck, but I wouldn’t vote for Mcloon if you paid me a million bucks.
Don't worry. She and her "oppo" drones and her buddies in media (and she has some left, still) will no doubt have something wonderfully toxic brewed up for McCain in the general, if she survives Obama.
I can see it now, in a special glassed-in recess on her desktop, marked with a skull-and-crossbones and the legend "in case of general, break glass".
I recall reading some years ago an in-depth expose about McCain and his questionable friends/dealings in AZ. I think there is likely plenty there to dredge up. McCain may not be McClean.
....which would be a moment of opportunity for conservatives, as the party system finally resolves into the two great idea-clusters of American politics: conservative and totalitarian.
We’ll be lucky to choose between global socialism and national socialism.
Just look at the way Hillary looks at McCain, when she can spare a second from savaging Obama, and licks her chops.
No, she was never afraid of Rudy Giuliani or John McCain, either one.
Don't think she was afraid of Fred Thompson, either, but for a different reason: she and Slick had tangled with Fred once before, using their intermediaries (Jamie Gorelick and Richard Ben Veniste), and won. Or at least they kept Fred from getting to the bottom of Chinagate and Slick's sale of his office to the Chinese.
Let's not forget the ever-increasing ranks of civil-service union members
So do I.
Great line, and apt. After all, Old Europe already has the high taxation and regulation that Democrats claim to want. Yet are "progressives" satisfied that they've achieved their utopia there? Hardly. They want actual communism.
I prefer to think of it as global totalitarianism vs. molon labe -- we know how that one turned out!
Need I remind you that we have a Stalinist all of our own in Juan McCain.
He wants to be a maverick but at the same time he wants to be able to dictate to others in our party what to think, say, write and follow him without question.
It isn’t hard to believe when he will receive 97% of the black vote. But remember, that isn’t racism. Only whites who DON”T vote for Obama are racist.
Smoot-Hawley did not cause the depression, as much as Free Trade advocates like to claim that. It probably didn’t help it much, but it was absurd mondetary policy at the Federal Reserve Bank that caused the Depression. Our current Fed chairman is an expert on that, having taught corses on the subject. He, among many other mainstream economists, believes the Fed caused the depression with monetary policy. (Essentially reducing the money supply by 1/3 in a single year)
