I've often found that if I go down the list of "liberal" issues with people who say they're Republican, they are quite liberal and not in sync with the Republicans who run the country. Most don't want America to be the world's police officer and prefer peace to war. They applaud civil rights, believe all Americans should have health insurance and think assault weapons should be banned. Though they may personally oppose abortion, they usually don't think the government has the right to tell a women what to do with her body.
There's a name for these Republicans: RINOs or Republican In Name Only. They possess a liberal, open mind and don't believe in creating a worse life for anyone else.
So why do they use the same label as those who back a status quo of women earning 75 cents to every dollar a man earns, 45 million people without health coverage and a president who has two more countries left on his axis-of-evil-regime-change list?
I asked my friend on the street. He said what I hear from all RINOs: "I don't want the government taking my hard-earned money and taxing me to death. That's what the Democrats do."
Money. That's what it comes down to for the RINOs. They do work hard and have been squeezed even harder to make ends meet. They blame Democrats for wanting to take their money. Never mind that it's Republican tax cuts for the rich and billions spent on the Iraq war that have created the largest deficits in history and will put all of us in hock for years to come.
His Bitch slap of Michael Moore was the icing on the cake :-)
moore enjoys his own celebrity and antagonising towards the people moore views as the invisable "Fat Cats".
The best way to deflate him is to BOYCOTT him; don't pay attention to moore and don't spend money in moore projects.
He is a media and camera PIG!
Indeed, I was pleasently surprised by McCain who I normally do not care for because if his non-stop left-wing-like whining. But he did good...
And Rudy, "Two Americas Joke"
Hah : )
Michael Moore is a sleazy, self-promoting little Josef Goebbels, whose "documentaries" twist the truth to support his own leftist agenda.
The fact that USA Today wouldn't use Ann Coulter and will let this guy spew his tripe means that I will no longer buy their paper.
I think he is supposed to iratate the right more then be liked or even supported by the left.
Its pretty clear, alot of liberals don't personally like him, they like his views, his way of doing things, his methods, etc.
On some lefty boards, someone will say they don't like him but am glad he's on there side, and then a bunch other freaks will do the whole "shhhh" thing, like its some kind of secret.
Think of it this way, on the DUmpster board, alot of them don't like Streisand and find her annoying, but don't want her to stop yakking.
The image of Michael Moore being afforded a seat next to Jimmy & Rosalyn Carter in the Presidential Box is one the Bush team should capitalize on. The only seat Michael Moore deserves is on "Old Sparky"
I think you are wrong Cowboy. The reason we cannot "ignore" Moore is because he is already beloved by the mainstream media... com'on, USA Today? Just like with terrorists, the best antidote is not to avoid the problem, but to kick the crap out of it.
I've seen numerous friends fall into the Moore trap of conspiracy theories and stupidity, we can't just ignore that.
I think Michael Moore hates the Dems as much as he hates the Republicans. Look at how much fatter and more disgusting he looks. This is not the portrait of a happy man.
Probably all the death threats.
If they ever make a real live Simpsons movie, Michael Moore could play the Comic Book guy
moore does for Americans what john wayne gacy did for clowns!
Goebbles in Goerings body.
Moore - mentality of a 7 year old.
"Goebbles in Goerings body."
Perfect! Thanks for the great laugh!!!! You're right, Goebbels was a weasly-looking little short guy, and Goering looked like he didn't let too many meals pass him by!
It worries me that so many people think this kind of sophomoric blather is actually making some sort of point. And so many people let themselves be told that it's greed -- not justice -- to want to keep the money one earns.
Another couple of years, and he'll wind up like that 600lb woman in Florida that grew into her couch. At some point he's going to snap and withdraw out of sight, and when he passes on, it will be like 'Whoa, I was wondering what happened to that guy! He's been on his couch for how long?'
