The Neocons Dilemma

“http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/

Oh the humanity!!!!!”

“AAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGHHHHH!

Horse Face!”

“LOL, I absolutely love that the left wingers hang on Coulter's every word. How do you wake up a Liberal? Tell them Ann Coulter is on television. LOL”

“I can;t stand to look at her. Man, she's nasty!”

“Why do I always hear about her from the libs?

(yes Geo, you're a lib. I know you "hang around" military types, but that doesn't make you a conservative)”

“Lots of military "types" are not conservative.”

“exactly”

“I'd like to see how conservative she really is.”

“Isn't McCain's voting record pretty solidly conservative? Why do they seem to hate him so much?”

“I thought McCain was a silly libbie.”

“I think a Conservative union gave him a rating in the 80s based on his votes.”

“Isn't McCain's voting record pretty solidly conservative?

Wow.”

“I think a Conservative union gave him a rating in the 80s based on his votes.

Almost half the senators are ranked more conservative than him on their rating scale.”

“Don't forget the Keating 5 deal.”

“So, he's in the middle. That's bad? MCcain, that is.”

“To the conservative base, yes. He's a RINO.”

“It's bad when you want someone more righty”

“Nimblefoot - Being in the middle of the whole group doesn't mean he's centrist. The whole Senate leans left due to the welfare state their voters demand to reelect them.”

“Huh. I can live with that.”

“I love the way Ann causes the poor little libbies to have hissy fits.
Sells a lot of books.”

“Would you pork her?”

“I'd SIIHPAPP!”

“Do I want to know what that stands fo?”

“Hmmm, so a fairly solid centerist Republican is considered to leftist?


So what issues we talking about - it can't just be the pro-torture Republicans who are against him.”

“Y2 John has been willing to do ANYTHING to get recognized, from amnesty for CRIMINALS (answering the question why he has to run for President...cause he won't reelected In AZ)...hell he is the Bill Clinton of the Republican Party.

Finally there is this, John is a Moderate at best...there are no books of 'The Greatest Moderates in History" becuase moderates go with the wind. They do not lead.”

“Dude Look Like a Lady

(or vice versa)”

“I thought this was about Ann Coulter...not Hillary Clinton.”

“I guess a neocom(munist) would think McCain is a fairly solid centerist Republican.”

“becuase moderates go with the wind. They do not lead.”

That's a BS comment if I ever read one.

The biggest problem with our political system, IMHO, is that it's dominated by extremists... whether they be right-wing or left wing.

Personally, I disagree philosopically as much with the fundamentalist/religious crowd (who have no understanding at all of the word "tolerance"!) as I do with the Socialist idiots who don't seem to be able to understand basic economics when we talk about how we're going to PAY for all the services they want to give away for free!

In summary, I think "moderates" need to be given A LOT more credence... maybe they're just trying to GET SOMETHING DONE, vs. adhering to some rediculously rigid "party line", whether that "party line" is Repub or Dem.

Of course you extremists on the right & left can't seem to handle a discussion based on common sense or some level of compromise so that we could move forward instead of the the silly fighting with each other.”

“McCain/Fiengold
McCain/Kennedy
McCain/Lieberman
Gang of 14
Illegal immigration
Tax Cut votes

yeah he's conservitave alright.”

“Ahhh, the immigration issue is the big one then? I guess he's greenish on the environment.

He's pretty solidly pro-life isn't he
Supportive of surge and action in Iraq in general?
Fiscally fairly conservative?

I just can't understand the annimosity. Though Coultoir is will obviously just say anything to attract attention to herself.”

“Once again ..... wow.”

“Y2,

Pro life, good
Support surge (maybe orginated it), good

Somethings he does good on, somethings not. Still way better than anybody on the Dems side. But I think the Republicans need to do a lot better.

Ann isn't running for anything.”

“Silly wanderer. ;-)”

“McCain's main claim to fame is he ZIGGED when he should have ZAGGED. WHOOP TIE DOO. Now I am in awe of his service as a POW, but remember Bendict Arnold was a GREAT Leader Right before he tried to sell West Point.”

“Have to agree it's a pretty limited field. And I am concerned that the guy is a year older than my father..... who loses a pair of glasses every week or so (having said that his mother still seems to be going strong).

Do you think a centerist Democrat would face the same annimosity?”

“You mean like Lieberman being kicked out of the party?”

“a centerist Democrat

I think his assumption here is that McCain is a centrist. LOL!”

“Well that was kinda different from what I remember. He ran against the officially selected candidate.”

“I think they prefer the Neocon Tranny Surprise.”

“He ran against the "official" candidate because the party got mad at him for taking reasonable positions on things instead of the officially sanctioned extreme positions and the party went to work and supported his primary opponent.”

“tiltypoo and y2 are perfect examples of neocoms.”

from   To a Mouse, On Turning up Her Nest with a Plough

              Thou saw the fields laid bare and waste
              An' weary winter comin' fast,
              An' cozie here, beneath the blast,
              Thou thought to dwell,
              Till, crash! the cruel coulter past
              Out thro' thy cell.

                     Robert Burns (1759 - 1796)

“Too bad the only people who know how to run the country are busy driving cabs and cutting hair.

“Nic Sarkozy's rating looks to be headed down to Bush level. Will it fall through that of Bush down to that of our Congress? Yankee lover???”

“I heard a great definition of NEOCON...and if that is the Definition going around I agree with it.

NEOCON apparently is a "Conservative" who sees solutions in big government.....

In that case I am pretty sure Sarge, Stove and I are NOT in that category.”

“Neocons were the 1994 group that intended to guide the country with an up sidedown bible.”

“Um Sale if you Um check (I am so sorry to bring this word up since it is "fact") HISTORY you will find the 94 revolution was about changing Government to make it more responsible....it partially succeeded but the leaders lost their will. They were watered down by the system.”

“Does "partially succeeded" mean the same thing as "failed"? Can I comment on this, having never been a politician?”
