Er, see, my response was in response to Rando’s statement that you thought all liberals were looney. If all liberals are looney and we spit the party between loonies and none loonies then we have a 100/0 split.

I guess remembering this sort of things really dates us.

Yes, I’m old… comparatively speaking.

But it did mean that the whole campaign thing was good for a few more laughs – and a great deal more experience-based cynicism – than younger people got out of it.

Heh-heh-heh… Biden…

Actually, I think everyone’s loony.

And about 30% of each on the Right AND Left are irredeemably loony. The rest of us are just loonies you can talk to. It’s like the difference between being neurotic and being psychotic.

The ones who treat Marxism, AGW, and other Tenets of Leftism in pretty much the same way that Fundies treat Christianity. (Just like Fundies, though, they deny that they do any such thing. )

When was that, exactly? I’ve always thought he was a defeatist — as far as I’m aware, he never changed his position on “shamnesty”, government spending (with the notable exception of big-ticket military acquisition projects), TARP, campaign soft money, etc.

The only thing that might count would be the surge, but there, McCain was its primary civilian proponent; if anything, Bush changed his war plan to conform to McCain.

By: Dhoti the anti EWAdamsist

Dhoti the anti EWAdamsist — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 00:36:46 +0000

Really? The opinion polls seem to suggest that those people actually liked the last guy’s plans a little better — maybe they elected him because they thought he was cool or something. Regardless, Obama’s already towed the Bush line on Iraq, Guantanamo, and extraordinary rendition, so it’s not much of a stretch.

My point was that this whole “war plans are complicated” argument, while true, is a partisan apology in this case. Nobody was starting from square one here; in fact, Obama’s plan is really just Bush’s plan with 20k fewer troops and a retreat tacked on.

I know quite a few republicans who liked McCain until he started changing his policies to conform with Bush. At that point they started feeling he had lost his integrity and possibly his spine.

By: Dhoti the anti EWAdamsist

Dhoti the anti EWAdamsist — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 00:30:09 +0000

This whole “us vs. them” mentality still bothers me — yes, there are some hateful individuals on the far right wing (a minority of the people who would actually qualify as far right, I believe), but I can’t help but feeling that the far-right stereotype is more of a leftist smear tactic than it is a reality. (The zealously anti-Christian slant seems to give it away.)

Gingrich, yes
Guiliani, mostly yes
Santorum, hmm
Hatch, yes
McCain, maybe the 2000 McCain but not the latest iterations so much

And for what it’s worth, the biggest detriment to the Republican party is Rush, Hannity, O’Reilly and FOX News in general.

part of being a new president is the option of following the last guy’s plans, and evidentally since obama was elected by people who objected to the last guys plans, do you really expect him to become a turncoat and just fall in line with what bush had left behind?
let me know how well that works the next time you move and the previous tenant leaves all their cr@p for you…

I’m sure we lost a lot of Republicans and we gained no Democrats, but I attribute that to McCain, who is the prototype moderate with his hand across the aisle. None of the Republicans I knew supported him when he began running, not one. One Democrat I knew supported McCain and then voted for Obama anyway. Another Republican supported McCain after he won the nomination, but then voted for Ron Paul. The only person who brought excitement to the ticket was Sarah Palin, if he had not been for her, you would have heard crickets at the McCain rallies. When it came down to brass tacks, our moderate McCain lost against a guy with nothing going for him at all.

And I for one don’t buy this “I didn’t vote McCain because of Palin” stuff. It would be like saying you didn’t vote for Clinton because of Gore, or for Reagan because of GHWB. All these so called moderate and independents would have gone to Obama anyway. We lost because we lost conservative Dems and conservative Republicans.

Actually yes, there are a few.

In all honesty, there aren’t many in either party that I can say I really admire. The entire political spectrum is so fluid any more it’s hard to say who stands for what. One of those in the GOP that I have always admired was Pete Dominici from New Mexico. That guy stood for damn near everything I believe in.

I have been called a RINO in the past, by people who frequent this site. Fine, so be it, as I said I’m more than happy to take my vote somewhere else if my point of view can’t be embraced within the party. But realize that even though I’m one person, the reality is I probably represent a 1,000 who have the same opinion.

By: Eddie the Floydist

Eddie the Floydist — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 21:23:39 +0000

You will always have those in a party, whether it’s Republican or Democrat, that those in the party don’t agree with. But the difference is, in the Democratic party those people still are considered to have a point of view. In the GOP, if you disagree with a certain platform, you’re basically told to go elsewhere. This is one reason why I see the Republican party getting left on the roadside. How many Republicans in the last election jumped ship and took their votes outside of the GOP?

By: jim

jim — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 21:11:34 +0000

That is what makes me wonder about you Eddie, you have occasional bursts of conservatism, but then in half seriousness you’ll say something like that. Do you even admire anyone in that party?

Barry was probably closer to the Democratic party of the 1960s, but he would be horrified by the Democratic party of today. I was a big fan of Barry, he had the support of every conservative I know. Although he was a libertarian, he was considered quite conservative during his time, and he was also another that the Dems took cheap shots at. I dont doubt at all that he admired many Democrats during the 60s, but I can’t think of one he would admire today. There are no liberals in the classic sense, a Tip O’neil or H. Humphery, around anymore.

Most definitely.. In fact, I think Nixon might be considered a RINO by their standards. It would appear that there is no room for disagreement in the GOP from the neo-con’s perspective.

By: Eddie the Floydist

Eddie the Floydist — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 20:41:53 +0000

The problem is you have those on the extreme right, who I believe are the minority in the Republican Party, who seem to have control. Those are the people that seem to be pushing those of us who are moderates out. If that’s the way they want it, fine. I’ll take my ball elsewhere. But if those who are moderates leave, I’m afraid there won’t have much of a Republican party left.
