Some people won't walk lockstep with a party. Some think for themselves.

When you learn to think for yourself, you'll understand.

Enjoy it while you can..

LMAO!

Thats what you guys always say.

"He was a Democrat anyways"...LALA! You never want to take responsibility for your torn up party. You just claim that Bush or whoever was really a "liberal".

Apparently thinking for yourself is unacceptable in the Republican Party, so I sure as hell don't understand the point of this post.

Welcome aboard Senator..Hopefuly the right will realize that they're alienating their party with their nonsense over the last 10 years.

Yeah right.

You wish. Americans have seen the damage the Republicans have done. It will never be forgotten.

No more than Republicans did when they owned the government.

Yes but it diesn't matter. The pendulum always swings, regardless. And the Dems always wind up shooting themselves in the foot.
