I cannot understand the OP's INTENSE hatred of anyone with a dissenting view. So I take it you are for a one party system? I'd NEVER want Republicans to be the ONLY party, and neither do I want the Democrats to be the only party.

I really think your posts do more to alienate moderate conservatives, which shouldn't be your goal. Tides change, and one day the "Repukes" and CONservatives as you call them will be in power - it's a natural cycle.

Honestly, I think we all need to be much more civil to each other. I try, but rarely get any credit from the hateful left, which are not ALL those on the left, or even the majority.

I really hope I'm wrong, but Coleman is going to use the "inconsistency application of the rules", all the way to the US Supreme Court and get his seat that way. The Repugs are so agressive, when it comes to winning, that the right leaning supreme court, would have no problem, applying the same "logic" in Bush vs. Gore, towards Coleman.
Case in point in how ruthless Repugs are: when Gregorie (WA. gov) won after an manual recount, Rossi was hoping to get a favorable ruling through a Republican DOJ in the Pac. NW, to keep his chances going. The Republican DOJ however, refused to hear the case. Guess what happened to the DOJ, he was one of the 8 (or 10) fired by Gonzales, Bush and Rove for "not playing ball."
Thankfully, Rossi did not take it all the way to the Supreme Court.
If Pawlenty refuses to sign the certificate, I'm sure that will cost him his job in 2010. MN is a moderate state, that does not stand for extreme partisianship like that from the right (or left).

I think it's time for Coleman to hang it up. He lost the race for Governor to a Wrestler, and now loses his Senate seat to a comedian turned talk show host.

Maybe politics isn't his game.

This cycle you speak of started around Nixon's time and ended around 2005. Nearly 35 years. The GOP will never rise again until minorities start voting for them in a significant way...we are Decades away from that. They know they are not welcome. They know you consider them lesser Americans than your average White rural male.

You have to understand, Dukester and his ilk claim to love America..but only an America where all dissenting voices to Obama are silenced, where the only freedom is the freedom to conform to liberal values. Dukester cannot stand that other people disagree with him and it makes him mad that he cannot silence conservatives.

Wrong..rhetoric would presuppose thay we "Wingers" dont speak the truth, whaen thats all we do. Its the libbies who spew rhetoric and talking points aimed at disinformation. Like I always say:

Conservatives use FACTS to back up thier argument
Liberals rely on FEELINGS and OPINION
