Addendum: A fire hose spraying liquid Thorazine should probably be on standby at all such events.
Neither party will remove the focktard. Commie and Commie lite.
Charles Pierce is a fine journalist. Although he could improve his style by moving his ad hominem attack from the second sentence to the first. Do progressives actually read and believe this garbage?
Well, yes, the Democrats probably wouldn’t kick out a nutcase who said the Republicans were trying to nuke an American city, either, I suppose.
Whenever an election cycle rolls around, the GOPe tells us that we have to reach out to the middle. The problem that I have with that is that the passion is at the base or far right. Move too far to the middle and the support from the base lags. Moderate independents do not get fired up about elections enough to read up on and/or even study the issues, the candidates or their positions.
It would be an interesting study to map the voter intensity vs the left right spectrum. My suspicion is that the further you get from the middle, the greater the passion. The further from the extremes, the less likely the extremes of either party are going to support your candidate. Ultimately this will result in fewer votes from the base.
Take all of that information and turn that into a correlation for voters. Like the Laffer curve, there is some point where there is optimum voter turn out. Perhaps this would be a good thesis for either a Mathematics or Polysci major.
What does the estimable Charles Pierce have to say about Van “Bush plotted and carried out the 9/11 attacks” Jones? And that is just for starters in a very long list of out and out far left crazy talk from Democratic Party leaders ranging from Dick Durban to Nancy Pelosi.
As I noted, the Dems have their share of crazy people opening their mouths and having huge bats fly out.
Query: Was it Van Jones or one of the other loons who came up with this “the President tried to nuke Charleston” conspiracy theory? That’s a new one on me....
No Democrat middle either. That party took a hard-left turn years ago and kept right on marching.
Looks like Charlie’s still enjoying the LSD flashbacks.
Reagan was opposed to libertarianism nooby.
Your use of that single sentence from the 1975 interview of candidate Reagan by the libertarian magazine Reason, gives an impression that amounts to a lie.
Are you opposed to conservatism, libertarians are.
"As government expands, liberty contracts."
--Ronald Reagan
STEEERIKE TWO!
"Government is not the solution to our problem, government IS the problem."
--Ronald Reagan
STEEERIKE THREE!! Yer out!
I favored Santorum; then I had pause when he “endorsed” Trayvon Martin without knowing any of the facts.
No nooby troll, Reagan spouting his conservative beliefs is simply conservatism, he disagreed with libertarianism.
That is why you can look at his vast political history, speeches and writings, and not come up with Reagan as a libertarian.
It also accounts for why you guys had your best election ever, AGAINST Reagan in 1980.
Some people are passionately moderate.
Yes. But what did good old Charles Pierce have to say about all that crazy talk from the Democrats?
Based on your performance on another thread, I believe you post it because you BACK it.
