“The Republicans have supported moderates like Specter and McCain and gotten nothing but grief for their efforts. Why would they want to continue the failure?”

At least we know why the Left is getting hot and bothered about anything hinting at reducing the failure.

But, in a way, ProfElwood's comment shows what is wrong with the Republican and conservatives who are True Believers.

If you scroll up a bit on this thread, you'll see that I'm not a Republican, or a true believer. And on another recent thread, I would love investigations:

My point is exactly the same as yours. You were calling out Republican leaders for a lack of discipline, but not the Democratic leaders.

As for the whole "this is just racism" thing. You can find my answer to that one here:

There is a difference here. I think Daley has been a disaster as Mayor. But Daley never called the President of the United States a Muslim, with its suggestion that President Obama is not a citizen.

But, in a way, ProfElwood's comment shows what is wrong with the Republican and conservatives who are True Believers. Any infraction by Republicans is excused because the Democratic politicians have done worse. In fact, I understand that ProfElwood is in fact suggesting that President Obama is a corrupt member of Chicago Mayor Daley's political machine. On another blog, I would venture this would be expressed much more directly and crudely.

I wonder how much racism there is in this country. For example, I wonder what Mayor Wiseman says when he is certain that everyone has the same level of contempt he has shown to President Obama.

And this may seem to be too Politically Correct, but I think racism and hatred are morally wrong, and if my Party had so many mistaken opinions about Republicans, I would denounce it vigorously.

Where are the GOP leaders and why are they silent about Mayor Wiseman and so many others?

They probably aren't going to care too much over a city mayor, just like the silence on Chicago's mayor Daley and his well-known corruption.

Joe. I cannot believe how many people the GOP has like Arlington Tennessee's Mayor Russel Wiseman, who called Obama a Muslim and told Obama's supporters to go to a Muslim nation.

Mayor Wiseman is too typical of too many Republicans. President Obama's election has unhinged them.

And now, with so much evidence that the GOP has too much disinformation and hatred of Obama, the Party will call for "purity"? Barrack Obama is very lucky to have the enemies he has, but we as a nation need to stop this madness of so many Republicans asserting Obama is a Muslim, was born in Kenya, stole the election through ACORN and so many other absurd lies.

Where are the GOP leaders and why are they silent about Mayor Wiseman and so many others?

I'll stew over that remark. Adieu. Also, remember Sarkozy is part Hungarian, as am I. Therefore, he can get behind Obama at the revolving door and come out ahead.

Personally, I'm not real concerned if it did. We need more parties, and something has got to give to make room for them.

I don't like the CNN question. Many of these poll questions lead you by the nose to choose the lesser of two evils, which is a lousy choice. 'Would you prefer that the candidate that eats eggplant or likes the French.”
Some of these polls make you feel like an idiot if you don't like their choices. You can't say your polls sucks, come back with more intelligent choices (whatever that is). And by the way the candidates are just polls that have been grown in a party factory, and whose main goal is usually to get reelected.

This is an artifact of the Bush Administration. They voted for the Republican candidates and the Republicans added $5 trillion to the national debt, increased the size of the government, maintain open borders, and failed in almost everything that was attempted. The Republicans have supported moderates like Specter and McCain and gotten nothing but grief for their efforts. Why would they want to continue the failure?
