Being opposed to the President's policies is one thing.
Showing gross disrespect for a President who's done more for your pet issues than any of the alternatives is sure as hell no way to gain favor.
By the way, Rep. Shadegg (R) came down to Rep. Kolbe's (RINO) district in Arizona Saturday night as the special guest speaker at the GOP Lincoln Day Dinner. During his remarks he mentioned that he "respects" Kolbe. He was met with an unexpected hail of loud boos and hisses from what is usually a polite crowd. He didn't chastize the crowd.
Shadegg's a pantywaist, then.
Should he lose the Primary too?
Yes. He lacks testicular fortitude, and he's running in an area that has no respect for basic elements of civility.
He's lucky he didn't bring up his support for the Bush/Rove amnesty plan or he might have had things thrown at him.
My daughter quit throwing food at me when she was 18 months old. Thank you for telling me your ilk's average maturity level.
And while the present turmoil in the Republican party is regretable, you ought to focus your disdain on the cause; which is the inept and wrong-headed advice which Karl Rove has been giving the President for the past 4 years. (See Karl Rove--Dysron, Quack or Mole.) The day the President sends Karl packing will be the day that the Party starts to come back together.
As for people booing to relieve their frustrations: Take a deep breath. That has always been part of American politics. If you cannot accept that, find another avocation. Those of us who have never been booed, have probably never made any commitment to anything.
