No kidding. Smerconish is not a conservative, yet he is referred to as a "conservative talk show host."
Smerconish is a liar. He is as much a Republican as Colin Powell, Lincoln Chafee, and Jim Jeffords are Republicans. Ignore this pantload.
The NRA doesn't endorse candidates they rate them on their record for gun rights. Here in Georgia it isn't at all unusual to have 2 candidates running against each other, Dem and Repub, that both have A ratings from the NRA.
Tough tookies
The position of RNC is too important to be left to country clubbers to fill.
The new party chairman will be using the soviet model when it comes to toeing the party line.
I know who Smerconish is. He supported Obamarama in the election. :(
She is more liberal than the Democrat candidate
What? More boo-hoo waah from Scuzzy? Geez, would she get a clue already and leave?
They are probably liberals, not moderates (just like her), and most are probably Democrats as well (like her friend Pelosi.)
Sure, there is a place for her in the party (or there was until she endorsed the Democrat), but she's just like the Blue Dogs. Either side will tolerate them if they want to join, but neither side will ever like them or trust them. Our side is the only one that ever even listens to them, to our detriment.
As far as it being "her party too," no it's not. She's a party-crasher who can stay as long as she doesn't cause too much trouble. (She might have crossed that threshold already.)
Weren’t her positions to the left of the Democrat? If so then we are better off.
First of all, Dede isn’t a moderate anything. She is a liberal, and out in the left field of liberalism at that. Second of all, things have changed. The political landscape that encouraged this debate in the Republican Party back in 2006 has changed dramatically. What the so called moderates need to explain is how far they are willing to go to the left to make compromises that mean anything. The Democrats have gone off the deep end. Do moderate Republicans want to follow them over the edge in their attempt to catch up? Democrat-lite just doesn’t cut it anymore. People are looking for a contrast. ...But, Dede doesn’t care about the future of the Republican Party. She is a Democrat, a liberal Democrat who wore the Republican label to advance her political career, and now that gig is up. The Republican Party doesn’t need her or others like her who call themselves Republicans and vote for Democrats. We are better off with conservative Democrats who vote for Republicans, and there are plenty of them, so long as the Republican Party offers real alternatives. There are also plenty of independents who are changing their minds about Obamao’s hope and change, and they aren’t looking to people like Dede for answers.
Dede at least if you are out of the party we expect you to oppose us. When you are in the party, we first learn you are betraying us when you put a knife in our back. Go join the Dims. They are your natural home. Your positions on almost every issue could have been written by the DNC. You are a Democrat In All But Label Only. Bye.
“Smerconish, like Scozzafava is a liberal poseur.”
He told about interviewing Obama. “I looked him in the eye and I realized that he was an honest person. I believed what he was saying.”
Smerconish is just like Jimmy Carter and all the liberals. They ignore the history of someone like Kim Jong-Il, that he murdered and oppressed millions of people, that he has never held to his promises on nuclear proliferation, etc., etc., but when they look him in the eye they conclude that he is telling the truth.
What an idiot. As if your opinion from looking someone in the eye makes up for all of their past.
I’d go nuts without Sirius Radio. They also carry Levin’s show live and yes, you can drive across country and never turn the station.
For Free Republic’s National Convention this past September 11-13 Andrew Wilkow was one of our speakers - I’ve been listening to him for years.
No, I do not think of myself as a one issue person, and I do believe that all issues are of the same importance. I would like to think of myself as a social and fiscal conservative. Abortion and heterosexual marriage issues are important to me. Sometimes I have to support the lesser of two evils.
Stop yer whining, loser.
Didn’t this loser Smerconish vote for Obummer?
Who the hell cares what that fool thinks.
What do you base your assertion on?
Thank God we replaced a RINO with a liberal rat. That will teach Pelosi.
RINOs are so yesterday.
