They have become a rotten party that needs to be treated like a dangerous menace to our nation and opposed on all issues.<br /><br />P.S. Thanks for the kind words!

It's all ...Commentarama is a great daily read.<br /><br />It's all the level headed analysis that makes Commentarama so insightful. <br /><br />At some point though you've just got to call a spade a spade. The Democrat party has finally shown what their version of Amerika is and America has found it wanton. (To put it mildly and unconstitutional to put it more succinctly)<br /><br />These are historic times that we live in and now we get to witness a historic backlash against the Democrat Party.Skinners 2 Centshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06637561284569976324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-52894394661379796852009-12-11T19:50:31.141-05:002009-12-11T19:50:31.141-05:00Skinner,

You had the rotten ones of today and you had a group that seemed more moderate and sensible. But those people have been leaving the party and as the years have passed, the nuts and monsters have slowly crept into all of the leadership positions. And with the recent power they've suddenly been given, even the supposedly good ones suddenly have turned rotten.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-34390138766467829672009-12-11T17:44:22.579-05:002009-12-11T17:44:22.579-05:00Sorry for the double post.
"I don’t do rash ...Sorry for the double post.<br /><br />"I don’t do rash or bombastic, and I don’t say extreme things to get a rise out of people." I do both of those things. I'm a believer in fighting fire with fire. <br /><br />The left has been employing this tactic and it's been working so why not pick up that weapon and aim it back at them. Don't get me wrong the idea of taking the high road makes sense. I used to believe in it but when you deal with an adversary that can make things up out of whole cloth and have people believe them, then it's time to strike back. <br /><br />The left isn't even trying to come up with good lies any more they are simply saying "no that's not what happened" or worse yet just ignoring the charge. Somehow this actually works for them. That should be the most terrifying part that Americans until recently would just go along with them. <br /><br />Not to mention the LSM being complicit in propaganda. <br /><br />They take our tax money and use it against us. ACORN and the NEA should never see another penny from the tax payers. <br /><br />I understand your outrage I just wonder why it took you so long to get there. Perhaps you're just more optimistic than myself.<br /><br />The Democratic Party is a criminal organization.<br /><br />The debate is settled.Skinners 2 Centshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06637561284569976324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-33194786079152357792009-12-11T17:19:57.844-05:002009-12-11T17:19:57.844-05:00I don’t do rash or bombastic, and I don’t say extr...I don’t do rash or bombastic, and I don’t say extreme things to get a rise out of people.Skinners 2 Centshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06637561284569976324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-30239268702176164502009-12-11T16:59:01.178-05:002009-12-11T16:59:01.178-05:00Jed, I think this has been building much longer th...Jed, I think this has been building much longer than just this election. I started to realize that they weren't being political "in good faith" under Reagan. And it's been getting worse year by year since then. Right now they've only come out fully into the light.<br /><br />As for the rank and file, I don't know. I wonder why they continue to support party leaders that act this way? I wonder why they don't repudiate the activists who act like terrorists. If they are upset at how their party behaves, they sure aren't showing it.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-24483371261351414652009-12-11T16:38:55.884-05:002009-12-11T16:38:55.884-05:00I am pretty much in Lawhawk's camp on this one...I am pretty much in Lawhawk's camp on this one. While I despise the Democrats who seem to be in power (e.g. the S.D.S. Black Panther wing of the party) there are Democrats who (at least I suspect) are basically aghast at what has taken place.<br /><br />It almost seems as if these guys woke up one day, realizing that, through an amazing set of circumstances, they had come as close to total power as we have seen since the L.B.J. Great Society days. For quite a while now, we have been a fairly evenly divided nation and this has worked as a sort of check and balance keeping government from tilting too far either left or right. Even though the election of 2008 was clearly a rebuking of the Republican Party, it was certainly not a mandate for these bastards to try and cram every socialist left wing program they had ever envisioned down our throats. There were certainly campaign soundbites to make a pretense of behaving somewhat responsibly given the economic meltdown.These people now remind me of rabid attack dogs.<br /><br />Sorry . . . you got me going.Tennessee Jedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10604275115906776992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-36639566065299323492009-12-11T10:37:12.524-05:002009-12-11T10:37:12.524-05:00Fantastic!Fantastic!AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-981545334906381012009-12-11T10:35:43.438-05:002009-12-11T10:35:43.438-05:00Their Christmas cards are going out today!Their Christmas cards are going out today!DCAlleyKathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13595521064453455995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-60166918957362119792009-12-11T10:30:27.422-05:002009-12-11T10:30:27.422-05:00Thanks DCAlleyKat!

Instead, they just got nasty about passing these things.<br /><br />They are like a party possessed with doing something rotten and they know they only have a short time to do it.<br /><br />And few rulers in the past would have treated something like the Tea Party crowd with such disdain.

It won't respond to Obama and the Democrats overtures. <br /><br />After this summer's reaction to HealthCare (Tea Parties), a reasonable party would drop HealthCare reform and Cap and Trade.

I’m with you Andrew, for me I had my “Road to Damascus” moment with Carter. A liberal is nothing but a petulant child whose argument is - - you ask why? …they say because. And like the petulant child, a spanking and off to bed is what they require. You simply can’t argue with a sick mind, or a child, so don’t. The Democrat party anymore is a cult, that we’ve allowed to metastasize in to a seething, envious, monster, that have caused reasonable people (the real majority), such as yourself to despise them. When we put them away this time, starting in 2010, we need to keep the pressure up, staying with my child metaphor, ground them into perpetuity.StanHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07395708786509590321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-35860431431006353112009-12-10T19:55:24.653-05:002009-12-10T19:55:24.653-05:00Thanks Patti! :-)

In today's Republican party, I think they are certainly well-represented in the moderate wing of the Republican party, and are among the ones we have to nudge right and maintain in the party.

But as a teenager, I worked hard for the election of JFK. I admired his moderate social policies and his determination to stand up to communism and equally importantly to American socialism (e.g. his across the boards tax cuts because "a rising tide raises all boats"). <br /><br />So as a reformed radical and as an ex-Democrat, I join you on two counts in saying "I have come to despise you."<br /><br />Now tell us what you really think.

It's stunning to watch the way they behave.<br /><br />And what you mention about Kern is exactly the kind of thing that has been rubbing me wrong for years.
