The narcisstic hour

Actually, I happen to agree with him.

Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.

The first two are descriptions of your political philosophy; the third is a description your party registration status with your state government. Don't make the mistake of assuming that telling us what you told the Registrar of Voters explains your political viewpoint. I know conservatives who are registered Democrats, and Republicans who are liberal, except perhaps on foreign affairs.

Indeed. Mike Gaskey claims to be a registered Democrat. He pulls that out now and then when he wants to blow smoke.

He probably is a registered Democrat. There was this thing that Rush stirred up to mess with Obama\Clinton in the primaries...

for this very reason.

Mike - typical white guy. The USA does have universal healthcare, but you have to pay for it. D'oh. Thomas Mann - "Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil." The NYT - my leftist brochure. Calling an illegal alien an “undocumented immigrant” is like calling a drug dealer an “unlicensed pharmacist”. God doesn't believe in atheists, therefore they don't exist.

I put it back in on occasion. sometimes do both in rapid succession.

increased his audience. prolonged Hillary's campaign. gave Bill more time to play without the watchful eyes of Hillary.

As I recall, that was one of the reasons specter changed parties. He said that many Republicans became Democrats in his state (one reason for his change) this about the time Limbaugh was futzing with the Dem. primaries.

Gave Hillary more time to play away from Bill who always wants to watch, you mean? Still and all, it didn't exactly seem to keep the Dems from a landslide victory, did it?

which time? he started as a Democrat, chaged to Republican and is once again a Democrat. he's the poster child of term limits.

wasn't intended to, it was intended to create chaos and did so quite nicely. had the added benefit of pissing off commited Democrats. all in all, a worthwhile endeavor.

Yeah, but in Specter's case he was implying that many Replublicans changed because they were disenchanted with McCain's (and the Party's) move to the right. Limbaugh's deal was an attempt to keep Obama from being nominated, feeling that Clinton would be the weaker candidate.

Rob Graham

LOL, rather poorly, I would say.

Ok, between you and Oak, you keep trolling Stan out and getting it wrong. Why insist on speaking for a person you disagree with?

This statement is false
