Oh, we're getting polarized all right. And that's because many of us have expressed a sincere desire to stop compromising with the left. We've compromised with them all the way to the brink of pits of hell. Now that we're trying to apply the brakes to keep from sliding over edge, they're whining about polarization. Tell you what. I'll be ready to compromise again, just as soon as the left starts compromising toward a return to constitutionally limited government and for more freedom rather than less!

Thank you all very much! Now take me to your leader!!

"And that's because many of us have expressed a sincere desire to stop compromising with the left. We've compromised with them all the way to the brink of pits of hell."

I have to agree. And that -forces- me to bring up a very amusing little story.

I was on Frank Luntz's American Voices last weekend on MSNBC. Drove all the way from NJ to Washington D.C. just for that. During the taping, we were given these little devices where we could turn the knob from 1 to 100. We were supposed to turn the knobs toward 1 if we disagreed with what was being said, and toward 100 if we agreed.

While they were testing to make sure it was all working properly, Luntz went off on a little speech that was supposed to have us all in the 50 range. He started off with "We should work together... we should compromise... we need to find a middle ground..." Then he got all upset and said "Why are the Republicans disagreeing?!" with the assumption that we couldn't figure out how to use the device properly. Lol. I will own up right now that I was one of the ones turning the device toward 0. I went as low as 35 on that I think.

I didn't tell him it was purposeful and sincere. I just sat there and smiled :) And I suspect I wasn't the only Republican there doing that either.

The right has a leader(?), I think that, they think that we are a bunch of unthinking rats. Jim, thanks for the forum, so we can work out our political angst

[Publius6961]

Dang it Jim. Quit sounding so damned divisive.

You'll hurt their feelings and screw up all their talking points!

We love ya, Jim!!!!
