Interesting McKinnon started with Ann Richards. I always was of the belief he was a mole. Most certainly a liberal, but the Bushes aren’t the best judges of character.

Speaking of Texas....

As Rush Limbaugh has said, “Those in the middle of the road get run over.”

“Amazing how the Republicans are the party with infighting now....”

The GOP isn’t called the Stupid Party for nothing. It routinely snatches defeat from the jaws of victory, and that is because it allows RINOs to call the shots and set the agenda. Paraphrasing what a wise man once said, no party can survive by trying to be inoffensive to its enemies.

“There is a war in this country between the left and the right and anyone who doesn’t choose sides is going to he caught in the crossfire.”

That’s a fact.

Michael R. Bloomberg, the billionaire mayor of New York and possible future presidential candidate, has labeled the tea party movement a "fad" and a "boomlet." He has vowed to use his personal popularity, his reputation as a pragmatic voice, and his wealth to promote Democratic and Republican moderates as candidates this fall.

Bloomberg has somehow deluded himself into thinking that he has a national following outside of NYC. Is he in for a big shock!

Its my recollection that during Rev 1, the country was pretty much split into three camps, one third for the King, one third for neither and one third for freedom. After over 200 years or so, nothing has changed except the divisions are now a third for a socialist government, a third for freedom from a dynasty government and a third who just wanted to go with the flow till now and that third is moving to freedom from the dynasty government. Right now, this is a non violent CW II and if the left and their RINO cohorts don’t get it, they will be on boats out of here, just like the Torries were after CW 1. They can go found a socialist state somewhere else where they are free to live off someone who is happy to sustain them. I am not so inclined because IMO, liberty is not the freedom to live off someone else.

I thought they were organized. They snap their fingers and the media reports on them favorably.

Dems are distancing themselves from 0bama and Pelosi but there isn’t the squabbling we are seeing with Republicans. It’s ridiculous. It’s not as if Tea Party values are extreme either. Of course now if things fall apart it will be the hard line conservatives who are blamed for the defeat.

Interesting that Oliphant doesn’t mention the other side of the equation. He speaks of right wing “ideological extremism”, but says nothing of LEFTIST extremism. Don’t you need this side as well, in order to have a “middle?!” Sorry, pal, but your obvious attack on Tea Parties and conservatism just ain’t gonna fly. And describing Bloomberg as a MODERATE...now THAT’S funny.
