I wonder what style of goatee Mr. Spock sports at Hamline University?

[Tempest]

Oh yeah it’s over alright. We better pick a Democrat to win the Republican primary or else the election will be lost.

[Hugin]

Romney and TPaw are examples of “Reagan Republicans”? Good Lord. They are more like Nelson Rockerfeller/John Anderson Republicsns. Reagan would love Palin, Bachmann, and the Tea Party.

[Still Thinking]

Whatever political moderation existed in the Republican Party, it rapidly disappearing as the GOP is being remade in the image of Palin and Bachmann.

Hey, dipwad, I assume it will be no challenge for you to show us all the articles you've penned decrying extremism in DEMOCRATIC candidates, right?.........[crickets]...I bet you were one of those who thought his Marxiness had "won" and should therefore be able to do whatever he wanted, right? So--it's only REPUBLICANS that concern you if they have strong beliefs and the corresponding agendas. Thanks for so cheerfully documenting your own irrelevance and intellectual dishonesty.

[lurk]

So the professor wants two entities on the political playing field: Collectivist Democrats and moderate Republicans.

Yeah, that’s balanced.

[Still Thinking]

Don’t forget Gerry Ford.

[Still Thinking]

This is a party that has moved dramatically to the right of the one that picked Romney as the Iowa straw poll winner and McCain as their nominee in 08.

And that worked out so well you urge them to do it again, right? Well, I guess from your point of view, it did, actually.

[max americana]

Yup. I had to read the author again and coulda sworn it was Ed Schultz who wrote this nonsense. He did however correctly and miraculously point out that Romney is in trouble.

[Hugin]

Don’t forget Gerry Ford.

Or George Romeny for that matter.

[Still Thinking]

It is no longer the party of Ronald Reagan. Sarah Palin successfully remade the party into one captured more firmly by the Tea party and owing much of its ideological allegiance to a blend of Barry Goldwater

Hey, stupid guy, Reagan was a AuH2O protege. He owed a lot of his political philosophy to Barry.

[Still Thinking]

Excellent point. The [rotten] apple falls not far from the tree.

Communists are very astute at recongizeng threats to their cozy positions.

Constitutional conservatives will mean that he, and many of his ilk, will be out of an extremely comfortable and undemanding, government-coerced job.

[Durus]

Good guess but no, he has less facial hair than desire to actually help Republicans.

[Lazlo in PA]

On Romney-He is part of the old Reagan Republican Party (along with Pawlenty) now fading.

What a total misunderstanding of Reagan and the fraud Mittens. Romney disliked Reagan and is nothing like him.

Romney on Reagan

Professor David Schultz is a horses ass.

No goatee, just stupidity.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Gay.

[skinkinthegrass]

Goldwater / Reagan would love Palin, Bachmann, and the Tea Party.

Reagan gave a fantastic speech for Goldwater in '64....

“I wonder what style of goatee Mr. Spock sports at Hamline University?”

The type that doesn’t get in the way of butt munching.

[Still Thinking]

Ed O'Neill's a professor now? Well, I guess you don't have to be smart, as this article demonstrates.

[skr]

He also wrote “The Myth of Voter Fraud” at http://www.minnpost.com/community_voices/2009/02/09/6398/the_myth_of_voter_fraud

He likes his DNC stamped blinders.

[tallyhoe]

The DA don’t know they pay people to show up and vote...It is all about who can turn out the most paid vote!!!
