The problem is that every time the Republicans try to find common ground the Democrats slap their hand away and say not good enough. And if a Democrat tries to find common ground or become moderate their own party crucifies them.

Look at Joe Lieberman. He has been a loyal Democrat for years. He agrees with Bush on one issue and his own party turns on him. This it the Democrats way of telling everyone to stay in line and tow the party line. You step out, you lose support.

So what Democrat is going to dare to meet someone half way after that? The only good that does is lose a long time blue state held Senate seat that will now become independent. They Democrats have become so foaming at the mouth mean they are self destructing.

I get the idea that you’re a dyed in the wool Republican.

I however don’t believe that even a person such as yourself fully supports all that has transpired from this administration.

I think it’s time for more cohesive constructive discussion amongst Dems and Repubs. A divided nation is a failing nation.

Wow, more facts behind you liberal quips. That is why Bush has had more African Americans in higher positions than any other president. So Bush made Katrina and sent it at New Orleans for racial reasons right? That was such a stupid comment I can’t believe it. You libs have your mind set and would never actually analyze anything.

As long as Bush is in power anything that happens is his fault. This is the “United States”. There is some “State” responsibility involved.

African Americans are waking up to the fact that Democrats do nothing to further them. Every year more vote for Republican because they wake up to the empty promises. The Republicans have become the party of inclusion while the Democrats are the radical party of Mike Moore. Your losing your party base, go ahead and laugh. But if you look at real facts for once you will see it is true.

I sure hope you’ve got fire retardant underwear…

…where you’re going you’re definitely going to need them…

And of course Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco (Democrat) being as useless as they come. Denied federal help at first and refused to call the national guard.

But let us keep pointing the finger up the line – Katrina Is Bush’s Fault !!!!! Boy I wish I knew about this website back then. I could get a head-rush from the spin. And now back to the factually stunted looney left.

It was Mahmoud Ahmadinejad vs. George W. Bush in a verbal showdown at the United Nations yesterday. You can sort out the winners for yourself….

We won in 2000 and 2004. Get ready for more of the same.

Or sure ‘lower the bar’ for both republicans and democrats!!

Way to go DUDE!!

lol Karl, I don’t think Bush needs any help in this area and BTW are you saying that these mythical people with this mythical syndrome can project lack of intellectual capacity to someone that has no capacity?

Karl R. Whom went to 6 colleges and has no degree, a ChickenHack, a professional political gumbumper, is now a trained professional Psychologist!

Now what were you saying, Karl r. about this ‘derangement syndrome’, genius?

That’s interesting, because I don’t own a watch and I get everywhere I need to be on time. How do I do it….?

It’s a long way from one dumb remark to “unabashed racist,” but apparently not so long for you. So enlighten us. Just how supremely supreme are you? I’m sure you’ve never done a dumb thing in your life, since you’re able to hold yourself out in judgment of everyone else. My God, why haven’t YOU run for president? It sounds like you’d literally be perfect.

And while you’re enlightening us, perhaps you’d give us an example of an American policymaker from the past who WAS perfect. I’m sure there are loads of them you can name. For example, there were no cronies in important positions in Clinton’s administration — why, there were no duds at all. Gosh we’re swell.

#68 Marie: The “man who made the ignorant comment is now in charge of an operation in Africa” is also the man who’s probably spent more time in Africa addressing the needs of the starving, the sick and dying than you’ve spent at your computer.

But I don’t expect anyone in this thread to abandon hate in favor of discussion, which is why I not only do not vote Republican or Democratic, I don’t vote at all. So much for progressives elevating the discourse, eh?
