Nice generalization. Thanks for lumping the entire Republican party in with the few. I guess that's what your party is best at though isn't it? (see, I can play that game too.)

I guess I should elaborate... There's no doubt that Rush, Hannity, Malkin, and Coulter are all important mouthpieces of the "Republican Party" these days. At least that's who I see as "speaking for" Republicans these days (and if any Republicans have a problem with that, maybe you guys should be more vocal in denouncing some of their garbage). And sometimes they seem more interested in ad hominem attacks rather than actually making a point.
Using any politician as an example of anything(like we're doing with Spector here) s kinda dangerous. But to say that there's no place for a moderate is just wrong. Fine examples are both Bush41 and 43, Coleman and McCain. As another outsider, albeit, a conservative outsider, I believe their problem is in trying to be too inclusive. The loss of their base has had more to do with their recent election losses than anything else.autobahn wrote:From these comments then, he has a point.
There's no place for moderates in today's GOP. You're either way on the right or you're not welcome.
That's not a winning strategy, but if that's what the GOP wants to be, it's up to them.

My point exactly. With mass generalizations it doesn't matter.I guess I should elaborate...

Rush, Hannity, Malkin, and Coulter et. al. are entertainers. As entertainers they make a living out of getting a rise out of people. If you see them as the "Mouthpiece of the Republican Party", well then, they have done their jobs. I, on the other hand, have and am entitled to my own opinion. To look at me, establish that I am a republican, and then say that all of Rush's views are mine by default, well that's just rude. You wan't my opinion, ask for it. Don't give it to me.
Thanks.

So McCains move to the moderate middle was a winning strategy?

Case in point: Democrats and other assorted lefties have been insulting Rush for over a year about his prescription drug addiction. They go on and on about it like children using some pretty degrading language like calling him a fat junkie and a druggie etc. How stupid can you people be? Obama admitted being an illegal drug abuser in print, Cocaine, an illegal street drug, not a legal drug obtained illegally.
Tell me when the media starts calling Obama a junkie on national TV instead of fawning over the TOTUS (Teleprompter of the United States).

And GW did not spend his college days snorting blow? It seems we have come a long way from the "I did not inhale" days on both sides of the isle and I am disgusted with both for it.
