I don't care if Obama smoked marijuana. I support legalization of all drugs.

You seem confused.

This thread is about Sam Donaldson claiming that the republic only belongs to certain people - and instead of talking about that, you have brought up homosexuality and marijuana.

Huh?

Are those suppose to be republican virtues? If they are, they've been paying nothing but lip service to them for decades now.

They are Tea Party virtues.

The Tea Party arose against the then current policy of the Republican Party.

Witness the 2010 congressional elections - the Tea Party asserted itself - and cannot be ignored.

I was pointing out that conservatives also bring up the far past of politicians.....but I guess that went over your head.

The homosexuality was pertinent to the contention that Republicans are for smaller government......but not for all people.

Conservative's definition of smaller government is government that doesn't infringe on THEIR rights.

I was pointing out the hypocracy of the right's idea of "smaller government".....that you brought into the discussion on Sam Donaldson.

We voted you out of office, so stop trying to get us voted out of office is a completely absurd view to take in a democratic country and all the people on this thread saying they agree with Sam are are also being moronic.
question of the day. donaldson comes from the same pack of leftist morons that shriek endlessly about a couple isolated instances of tea partiers mentioning 'take back our country' yet had no problem when obama did an entire speech about it years earlier

LOL! I'm sure no one will ignore them as Obama is sworn in again, and the Democratic larger than 2010 Senate takes hold.

Add in, by 2016, the House if the TP is not isolated from the GOP, will be held by the Democrats, too.

Look I don't care what the sexual nature is of any politician you support. Busting into a thread as if you have been drinking is not cool.
