Wouldn't label Gephardt a socialist. He was far more moderate than Weasel and Mean

Somewhat more sane, too.

Well,guess you missed the tone it was posted in..I'll put the tag on it next time.

If you insist on wasting your time up to you, I normally don't read taglines.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Yep

[The_Eaglet]

Nope! I'm standing on principle and voting the straight Hon Party ticket. (I like beer!)

Who cares if the Dems get back into the WH and control of Congress? There's not a dime's worth of difference between the two parties (or Bush and Dean).

Given that you don't want to support a presidential candidate who would roll back the unconstitutional spending of the Bush and Clinton administrations, it doesn't sound like there is much difference among the Hon Party, the Democrat Party, and the Republican Party other than the distribution of beer (although I'm sure the Democrats would try to get away with it if they could). ;)

I'm proud to be a Bush-Bot --- we're his base.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Replied in kind :)

[BigSkyFreeper]

I like it!

Did you vote for Reagan?

[Texasforever]

Ya know what? You are a down right pleasure to deal with lately. I don't know if I have changed or you have but I won't look a gift horse in the mouth.

As to your point, the GOP has been forced to expand the “base” beyond the traditional red meat conservatives precisely because of that contingent’s historic penchant for staying at home or voting 3rd party in every presidential election since 1992. It would be irresponsible for the GOP to continue to try to lure them back into the fold when doing that would lose more center right and independent votes than it would gain. Just like all extremists the extreme right always overplays its hand. The Democrats are now where the GOP was in 1992, they have let their far left “base” become the driving force behind their policies and it is diving a lot of democrats into the “independent” column.

Does he run on Hydrogen or oil from Iraq?

"... a seasoned, smooth, mature political pro in John Kerry."

Hahahahahahahahaha!!! Stop, this is killing me, I can't breathe! Hahahahahahaha!!

[k2blader]

Hm, I wonder who Farah's voting for?

Despite the AWB, CFR, and Medicare, I had thought President Bush would be a shoo-in. ...But now I'm not too sure.

I was surprised by Kerry and Edwards placing above Dean--I do think a Kerry-Edwards ticket would be a definite challenge. Not to mention it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever to keep pushing a highly unpopular illegal amnesty proposal into the collective face of one's conservative base.

[gatorbait]

Yes indeedy and damned proud of it.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Yep. When Perot entered the fray, it forced the GOP to go far right, and we got 8 years of Clinton.

[MEG33]

Piffle

[onyx]

He runs on democrat hot air. A never-ending supply.

[The_Eaglet]

No. I was not of voting age when Reagan ran for President for either term.

[Byron_the_Aussie]

..his only prayer is if he managed to pick up Democrat votes, because the numbers of Independents have outgrown both parties, and they're fed up...

A high risk strategy, EW.

People seem to vote Dem even when it's not in their best interests. Remember Hillary's Jewish support, in New York?

[gatorbait]

Yep. When Perot entered the fray, it forced the GOP to go far right, and we got 8 years of Clinton.

Ironically,Perot himself did not run a conservative campaign.Do you recall his statement giving a defacto endorsement to the Democrats when he dropped out the first time?
