Who said this recently: "overly partisan and divisive" Meghan McCain said it about her own Republican party. The same can be said about the overtly liberal and divisive Pelosi's of the other side as well. We as a country need to shed ourselves of such wasteful, non-productive ideology.....and do it fast. I predict the future winners in both political parties will be those candidates that propose that they can be the kind of candidate that believes in the common ground and whose actions exhibit that philosophy. Some of you GOP old schoolers seem to think that what your party needs is a good old fashioned, hard core conservative leader who hates the other side and is not afraid to show it. I've got news for you.......that guy may win over the 20% of Americans who crave such a candidate but that's not going to win on a national scale.
The pendulum always swings on the political scene in the US. Obama is swinging so far to the the left the the natural reaction will be to counter all the unacceptable changes he's made. Bush was much closer to the middle than Republicans wanted. The result, not only was he constantly attacked by the rabid left but those on the Right tired of him too. I see a new contract with America coming.
Dave, I am convinced you're out of touch. There's still a chance that Obama has a turn of events and goes on an 8 year run.. There's also a chance that he runs aground in the near future and there's another Republican revolution. What do you think about the outright stolen election going on in Minnesota? the 'every vote counts' posse is now endorsing the state's practice of counting some votes for Franken... and then disqualifying votes for Coleman that met the same standard as Franken's 'new' recount votes.. Do you really believe that all of the sensitive, humanistic, intellectually superior people with hearts are all on the left... and the right is nothing but a bunch of stumbling, bumbling idiots who are out to fleece America? You also bought/buy into that same ******** about guys like Kerry being smart, but Bush is a moron... but here we are, all these years later and the truth finally shows that in every metric possible, Bush scored higher and outperformed Kerry... but nevermind that, I'm sure Daddy bought him that too.
Hey...I'm just reporting what John McCain's own daughter said recently. And her voice is the voice of youth in America and it's the reason Obama was elected. If the next GOP candidate wants to pander to the 50 year old white male, Rush Limbaugh crowd....or 45 year old white females overstocked with testosterone and far right rhetoric then hey....good luck to that candidate but I have serious doubts about that guy or girl's general electability. I hope you realize that were it not for Clinton's weakness for a BJ from a 21 year old flirt that the Dems would be on a 16 year roll right now going on 20 years in the presidency. The GOP is making a mistake if they think backward is the right direction.
CNN poll: Quick Vote Do you agree with Meghan McCain that a war is brewing in the Republican Party between the past and future? Yes 87% 25799 No 13% 4009
ever wonder what the percentage of Republicans that watch CNN is? Why don't we ask the local Klans in Indiana or Mississippi for some tips on black hair care products? Stop and think. I have been saying, for literally more than 8 years now, that the "South Park" Republicans are nothing to be scoffed at.. They are GenX, the children of the baby boomers. They aren't socialists, but they don't follow the fire and brimstone. The closest thing to a candidate that either party has put on the table that speaks to them is Obama...and some of us really believe he's lying. The GOP doesn't need Jesus. They are playing by the old school rulebook. I agree there is change ahead for the GOP.. at least I hope there is. What the GOP needs to understand is that there is a socially liberal and fiscally conservative generation of Americans out there who don't buy into all this baby boomer hypocrisy and 'we're changing the world' ********.. The boomers have been running this ship, electorally for 40 years now.. I've never grown up believing that I'd be able to receive SSI, although I've paid into it my entire life. The end game on the Ponzi scheme is catching up... More people see that then you realize.
