Which is why the term RINO was used to refer to so many republicans, and why so many of them were kicked to the curb over the past decade.

At least the conservatives in the republican party are unafraid to point out the RINOs and refuse to reelect them, the democrats need to be unafraid to do the same with the progressives in their party.

Sounds to me like the republicans are intentionally reducing their numbers to the point that they will never win another election.

That's a real good plan for not getting blamed for anything, but it really sucks as far as being effective at governing or pushing through any proposals.

Refusing to talk to anyone who disagrees with you is childish on a good day and destructive on a bad one. That may be why the Rs have no viable candidate warming up for 2012, hmmm?

It's a shame he didn't beat some sense into his offspring.
Yep and Cheney is on video tape back then saying it would have become a quagmire.

But they will still hold on to the convenient UN line of reasoning.

Clinton left no surplus. That is a myth. Bush's deficits pale in comparison to Obama's. Quit lying!

Let's talk about recent history. Carter drastically cut the military, and so did Clinton. Barrack Insane Obama is doing the same thing.

Really?
Many Democrats have been involved in both. Who had all the money in the freezer? Franklin Raines? Chris Dodd? Barney Frank? The "Breck Girl"? Harry Reid? Blogo? Barrack Obama? Many more. Quit lying!

The worst kind?

From your perspective, then, the "worst kind" would be one who posts incontrovertible facts that are inconvenient to your viewpoint.

With that in mind, as the rest of us already knew, The lady is Spot On.

Word of the day: "Don't let hatred cloud your reasoning ability"
