		<description>&quot;I love how the left justifies itself by saying[...]&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;things that describe themselves, in fact, much more than anything they say about the other side.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It&#039;s projection on steroids -- an eruptive form of admission about themselves they fail to suppress.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;&quot;Of course, in the long term, demographics will doom any conservative party, then the question becomes if there is enough private schools, gated communities and all whites progressive communities to allow whites to survive in the U.S.&quot; - SD&lt;/I&gt; &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Good grief. You really are afraid of the brown people aren&#039;t you. The real question is when are &quot;xenophobic&quot; attitudes like yours going to change?&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;</description>

		<description>I love how the left justifies itself by saying that moderate Republicans (read Democratic-Lite)  are upset by social conservatives and thus left the party.  The problem is that those same moderate Republivcans are moving into a political party where blacks support race based reparations that almost no whites support, that they move into a party with militant Hispanics who support open borders, unlimited immigration and separatism, that they move into a party where militant environmentalist would control where who live, how you get to work, and even where you vacation. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The real problem with the Republican Party is that is had not figured out how to deal with the incompetence, stupidity, and failures of the Bush Admnistraiton.  The moderates have deicded on a Democratic-lite, give the hipsters whatever they want strategy.  The conservatives have decided on punished the big spending, big government, compassionate conservatives who rules as Democratic lites. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Until the Republicans decide to purge itself of everyting connected to push, they will continue to feud with each other. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Of course, in the long term, demographics will doom any conservative party, then the question becomes if there is enough private schools, gated communities and all whites progressive communities to allow whites to survive in the U.S.</description>

		<description>Sil, the hardcore apologists and liberal haters are so wedded to an end justifies the means rationalization (whatever unpleasant end that might be - perhaps some sort of Stepford, militaristic, anti-science, feudal America) they are willing to forego minor concerns like morality and credibility. Fortunately there are a great many conservatives who don&#039;t fall under that umbrella, they just aren&#039;t as noisy and hyperbolic as their fringe contingent. Hopefully not very many of them are impressed by that sort of lunacy either.</description>

		<description>The Democrats are undergoing something similar with the left-wing at odds with their moderate Blue Dogs.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I think the rational moderates of both parties need to drop the idealogues and form their own party.</description>

		<description>&quot;Let me say that again - they think Cheney can criticize Obama on giving US troops a clear mission.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Once again. DICK CHENEY says that Obama ISN&#039;T GIVING TROOPS A CLEAR MISSION and memeorandum lights up as if Jesus or Reagan came down to earth to tell us what to do. That is beyond cognitive dissonance or partisanism - it&#039;s fascism. THEY ARE PSYCHOTIC&quot;~ kastanj&lt;br&gt;********&lt;br&gt;Now be fair!...lol...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The mission was pretty clear if unspoken: &quot;Hey you, taxpayer, shovel out some cash for this here group of soldiers to go over to that sandy place over there and kill some [derogatory term about arabs] and get me and my buddies the monopoly on what&#039;s left of their oil reserves.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But yeah, keeping the mission muddy-looking served to keep it going.  And now that they want Obama out, the muddy-looking mission serves to criticize him too.  They&#039;re an adaptable, if amoral, bunch!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The amoral part is their undoing though like I said.  They pushed their main base to the brink with their evil antics and made them choose between blind faith in them or their God.  Looks like they chose their God from the looks of the polls..</description>

		<description>&quot;Maybe Obama is as fiendishly clever as his more paranoid opponents believe him to be.&quot;&lt;br&gt;This is one place me and his &quot;paranoid&quot; critics agree.  I have thought this since Iowa and will only lose that opinion if he loses in 2012.  From my point of view he is a little like watching Jordan play in the NBA or Tyson box in his prime, his opponents seem to think that he is in the moment like they are but from my point of view he seems to be actually planning things months ahead and then slowly making moves no matter how frantic those around him get until he gets yet another win.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Whether you like his policies or not it is a pretty amazing thing to watch but maybe its because I am not used to subtlety and rope a dope in politics anymore since everything has been stripped down to jabs and body shots.  A good boxer knows that exhausting your enemy and making them flail is just as effective a strategy to win as a one punch knockout though it will not receive near the acclaim, of course it is also incredibly rare to get a one punch knockout victory but most politicians cannot be convinced of this.  To me Obama acts like Machiavelli and the Republicans are acting like McCarthy and therefore they have every reason to fear but I am sure many will soon tell me why he is an idiot.  I think he is more dangerous to the right than a new FDR or a new Reagan type of personality because both of those men did not have the patience that I see in him, only Lincoln did(sorry for all that just spit coffee onto the keyboard).</description>

		<description>I would think most of the right will try to ignore Cheney&#039;s attack since its rebuttal is already created in the attack.  You cant say Obama is &quot;dithering&quot; without admitting that Bush dithered for 7 years.</description>

		<description>What are you talking about? It looks like the Cheney speech has gotten a moderate amount of attention, and I see blogs from left, right, and center linking to it on memeorandum- but no more or less than any other story on this rather slow news day. And I certain don&#039;t see anything orgasmic in the tone of any of the right wing blog coverage of it that I&#039;ve read today- if you&#039;re seeing something titillating there you might need to get some help.</description>

		<description>Dionne flubs again.  No surprise.  Nobody substantial demands that the GOP become a token opposition, who stupidly accepts on faith along with others that Washington should be as large and as vast-reaching as can be, and be everyone&#039;s parent, and never question these tenets of bogus &quot;moderate&quot; or &quot;centrist&quot; faith.</description>

		<description>Look, I&#039;ve said this before and it&#039;s not rocket science. The GOP consists mainly of two very different factions. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;1. Very rich and greedy/crafty evil people at the top and..&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;2. Working poor greedy, bucolic and stupid people at the bottom. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;It used to have a reasonably intelligent middle group of conservative hardworking people with morals but that has been gutted by the ongoing and ever-more-audacious lies, deceit and corruption on behalf of those that run the party.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;So with the two groups left, the rich and greedy amoral group at the top will hang in until the last, but their greed and amorality has blinded them to the fact that their erstwhile hardworking moral middle group has deserted them. Hence the Palin-appeal factor to keep the knuckleheads at least.. They&#039;re hinging, literally, their entire future on &quot;you betcha&quot; now that &quot;freedom&quot; and &quot;democracy&quot; and &quot;patriotism&quot; have been overused to the point of nausea.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;And amidst all this is the internet, where even the poor dumb slobs at the bottom who stick with the party line just because daddy and Uncle Bubba did, even they will occasionally read the internet and begin to crawl out of the box they&#039;ve been living in for decades now. The internet will be the death of the GOP if they don&#039;t change their evil ways and quick.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;That&#039;s the only remedy they have left, to actually change their evil ways and get their ranks back that have ACTUAL morality. The biggest mistake the conniving snakes in the GOP made was to pit the mainstay of their base against their own morality. They rode with that, banking on the faithful until the faithful had a crises of faith and were forced to choose. Fortunately for them, from the looks of the polls, they chose the side of morality and goodness. Actually the very very best thing the GOP could do right now, since it&#039;s factually going to lose the healthcare battle in just a matter of time [we are never giving up the battle and will remember those that stood in our way come election time], would be to suddenly switch and support a public option, join with the dems for now and get that sucker through sooner rather than a year or two down the line, and win back their base from the &quot;be thy brother&#039;s keeper&quot; angle.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Unless the MedMob bribe money is so good that they&#039;re willing to kill their own party for it? &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The moral of the moral story is kids: don&#039;t get too greedy. It makes you blind to your own weak scale. The dragon has finished that tail down to the last and it needs to get real, really quick and regurgitate its strategy before it&#039;s too late..&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Look, I&#39;ve said this before and it&#39;s not rocket science. The GOP consists mainly of two very different factions. </p>
<p>1. Very rich and greedy/crafty evil people at the top and..</p>
<p>2. Working poor greedy, bucolic and stupid people at the bottom. </p>
<p>It used to have a reasonably intelligent middle group of conservative hardworking people with morals but that has been gutted by the ongoing and ever-more-audacious lies, deceit and corruption on behalf of those that run the party.</p>
<p>So with the two groups left, the rich and greedy amoral group at the top will hang in until the last, but their greed and amorality has blinded them to the fact that their erstwhile hardworking moral middle group has deserted them. Hence the Palin-appeal factor to keep the knuckleheads at least.. They&#39;re hinging, literally, their entire future on &#8220;you betcha&#8221; now that &#8220;freedom&#8221; and &#8220;democracy&#8221; and &#8220;patriotism&#8221; have been overused to the point of nausea.</p>
<p>And amidst all this is the internet, where even the poor dumb slobs at the bottom who stick with the party line just because daddy and Uncle Bubba did, even they will occasionally read the internet and begin to crawl out of the box they&#39;ve been living in for decades now. The internet will be the death of the GOP if they don&#39;t change their evil ways and quick.</p>
<p>That&#39;s the only remedy they have left, to actually change their evil ways and get their ranks back that have ACTUAL morality. The biggest mistake the conniving snakes in the GOP made was to pit the mainstay of their base against their own morality. They rode with that, banking on the faithful until the faithful had a crises of faith and were forced to choose. Fortunately for them, from the looks of the polls, they chose the side of morality and goodness. Actually the very very best thing the GOP could do right now, since it&#39;s factually going to lose the healthcare battle in just a matter of time [we are never giving up the battle and will remember those that stood in our way come election time], would be to suddenly switch and support a public option, join with the dems for now and get that sucker through sooner rather than a year or two down the line, and win back their base from the &#8220;be thy brother&#39;s keeper&#8221; angle.</p>
<p>Unless the MedMob bribe money is so good that they&#39;re willing to kill their own party for it? </p>
<p>The moral of the moral story is kids: don&#39;t get too greedy. It makes you blind to your own weak scale. The dragon has finished that tail down to the last and it needs to get real, really quick and regurgitate its strategy before it&#39;s too late..</p>
