My apologies. I'm new here and I haven't exactly memorized the roster yet.
Not a problem, just throwing it out there.
Oh, yeah. McCain is proof positive that the primary process works just dandy.
It isn't perfect, but it wasn't from lack of trying to defeat Captain Amnesty. I may not have liked the outcome, but the process did it's part.
Oh, sorry. Here.

You went from citing the huffpo to
alternet?!?
What's next? Daily Kos? Democratunderground?
Do you have anything other than flaming leftist sites to make your point?
Not really. The people were presented with two lousy gubernatorial choices. They picked the less lousy of the two.
Can't speak for NJ, but are you seriously calling Bob McDonnell a lousy choice?
What, would you prefer TJ?
Touche, sir, and well played.
Seriously, though, I never said he was. He sure as hell was centrist compared to some of the people here, though.
"And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not
warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of
resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as
to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost
in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from
time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
It is its natural manure."
Thomas Jefferson
Care to try that centrist bullshit again?
You need to stop and consider what you're saying.
My thoughts and conclusions come from true history and what I see happening to my country. But I thank you for your input and will take it under advisement.
And do you honestly, honestly believe the Democratic politicians are the only ones lying to you?
Nope.
You think the Republican power-brokers aren't doing the same exact thing?
Yep, quite a few of them are just as bad.
And do you think that these Democrats you are so willing to label as evil will not be just as effective as you at riling up extremists and going to war?
Ummmm, where have you been? They've been doing that for damn near 40 years.
Think for a moment before you take that fatal step.
Fatal step? Drama much?
Religion in politics, the persecution of homosexuals, racism... here's what the Democrats are saying conservatives will do with power, buddy.
Thank you, Captain Obvious. Like I didn't know this already?
And Republicans are just as bad. Any liberal officeholder is a Marxist, communist, atheist bastard.
The republicans don't have the balls to say anything like that. Which is why I'm not a Republican.
Looks like you bought in hook, line, and sinker.
Sorry, sugar pants, I don't need to be
told by anyone that the present day democrat party is a detriment to our freedom and liberty and they want to rule our lives while they get to live like kings.
I don't particularly care whether it's a Democrat or Republican being seated or unseated. Both represent the same problem and ongoing animosity.
Which is why a relative unknown, articulating common sense basic conservatism, dislodged a senate seat that had been occupied by a liberal cretin for over 40 years.
Pay attention to the primary season this year, you might see something new and exciting.
Yes, the Democrats are going to see a big backswing soon, and yes, Republicans will gloat and abuse power just as badly, and probably try exactly the same steamrolling tactics that the Dems have for the past year. I'm supposed to be impressed?
Steamrolling the socialist bullshit backwards is what I'm interested in. If the republicans can't do that, then they will be sent back to the minority, as they were in 06. Whether you're impressed or not is irrelevant.
If you can manage to do that, I'll cheer you on.
NJ, VA, MA, no democrat seat safe. It seems that it's happening but somehow or another you are missing it.
In the meantime I'll try to keep people who buy into political ideologies like schmucks from killing one another or turning our state into a totalitarian circus.
There is no dealing with liberals. They have proven it over, and over, and over ad infinitum. When it gets to the point that you cannot deal reasonably with another party, the only other answer is to defeat them. The way that happens is drawing a distinct difference between yourself and them, articulate your position, and win people over.
