		<description>Smerconish may want to hold off on his &quot;voting Democratic&quot; rhetoric...Obama is moving so far towards the center that he&#039;ll have the same policy as Bush before it&#039;s all over. And in that respect (and for other Obama flip-flops), I know exactly how Smerconish feels.</description>

		<description>Maybe I can set the record straight for this Neo-clown.

The Bin Laden&#039;s are Bush&#039;s longtime business partners.

911 was an inside job. The PNAC fascists planned it with the help of Isreal Mossaud and the CIA.

Bin Laden thus will never be captured.

Life goes on with the criminals still on the loose.</description>

		<description>I recall that McCain said he would chase OBL to the gates of hell.  Wouldn&#039;t it be fitting to task McCain with chasing down OBL, just like when knights in the days of yore would go on a quest in order to win the affections of a lovely princess?  And, he couldn&#039;t be the R&#039;s nominee until he returns successfully with OBL&#039;s head in his hands.</description>

		<description>Michael Smerconish and Scott McClellan should form a former Republican support group for what appears will be a growing number of disenfranchised true Conservatives and Libertarians.

 from an undisclosed basement location somewhere in a D.C. suburb:

Smerconish, &quot;Hi I&#039;m Michael Smerconish and I used to be a Republican.&quot;

McClennan, &quot;Hi Michael!&quot;

Smerconish, &quot;It&#039;s been four years since I voted Republican.&quot;

(smattering of applause)

McClennan, &quot;Does anyone know if these donuts are free?&quot;</description>

		<description>I have to admit, I really enjoy Smerconish&#039;s commentary on the MSNBC shows. Despite being a conservative, he doesn&#039;t just repeat the party line. Some of these conservative seem to actually have a brain, and they realize the party continues to support Bush at their own peril. The country has made up their minds that Bush is the worst President of our time (maybe ever).

McCain had a chance to change the entire Republican Party for the better, and throw out the Bush cabal and their failed policies, but instead he sold out like he always does.</description>

&lt;strong&gt;Conservative &lt;a href=&quot;http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2008/05/yoo_impeach_bush_why_not.php&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;John Yoo speaking about IMPEACHMENT&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;Clinton certainly didn&#039;t make it easy. Same as the Bush administration. Knowing what you know now about what they had done, if they had been much more open and forthcoming coming out of the gate, it would have been better for everybody.

But I will say this: I wasn&#039;t in favor of impeachment. I don&#039;t think what Clinton did rose to the level of what impeachment is really for. &lt;strong&gt;I think if people in Congress wanted to impeach President Bush they could, not because he committed a crime but because they think he&#039;s a bad president.&lt;/strong&gt;

That was the phrase [&quot;high crimes and misdemeanors&quot;] that came from Britain, and &lt;strong&gt;the British used to, under that phrase, remove people just because they screwed up a war&lt;/strong&gt;.

There are great examples. &lt;strong&gt;Allegedly these were the same standards of impeachments when they impeached a minister because the British suffered a setback in the war with the Dutch.&lt;/strong&gt; It wasn&#039;t a crime, &lt;strong&gt;but you were a bad leader&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;But it has to be something of significance to the state.&lt;/strong&gt; Clinton, what he did didn&#039;t seem to rise to that level.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

		<description>&lt;em&gt;The right-wing is already outraged over Smerconish’s apostasy. Newsbusters derided his indication that he may vote for a Democrat, asking &lt;strong&gt;“what kind of a Republican would consider voting for someone to the left of Barbara Boxer on abortion,”&lt;/strong&gt; and “who would leave the Iraqi people to the tender mercies of al Qaeda…?”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;

The kind that doesn&#039;t want to drink anymore of the Kool Aid.

		<description>We will have to take his word if he divulges who he votes for - but it is possible that he will jump from the sinking Republican ship -- I&#039;ve been watching him on MSNBC quite a bit lately and I have been surprised that he is not the usual rabid rightwinger that he once was -- it&#039;s the &lt;em&gt;Bush effect&lt;/em&gt; and it seems to be contagious to McCain.</description>

		<description>Obviously, he&#039;s been brainwashed by his stints on MSNBC and Huffington Post.  Or maybe 2-way communication media just isn&#039;t conducive to those who wear ideological blinders.  

So it took Mike 7 years to figure out this administration could give a rat&#039;s az about anything that this country values.  Hurray.  Will the last Bush defender please turn out the lights on your way out?

Looks like Bill&#039;s going to be doing some serious damage control... Mike has talked his way out of future gigs there.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Smerconish&lt;/strong&gt;: &lt;em&gt;&quot;I’ve always split my ticket in general elections...I’ve never voted for a Democrat for President.&quot;&lt;/em&gt;

Translation: I vote for my own personal interests locally ( ignoring the fact that local candidates declare themselves being of one party or another just to get elected) and nationally Libertarian (just &lt;em&gt;because&lt;/em&gt;) or GOP ( especially &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;because&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;).

Still, I have to admit professionally he&#039;s doing a lot better than me, so that&#039;s something.

ALthough he isn;t dating a supermodel that I know of, and neither am I so we are equal ion that respect. O&#039;m just saying...</description>

		<description>Here is the link. Nothing too out of the ordinary, just stupidity and ignorance with a little bit of homophobia thrown in.

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;moondancer:&lt;/strong&gt; A&lt;em&gt; true conservative(which Smerconish probably doesn’t qualify&lt;/em&gt;

I tend to agree. 

Smerconish has posted quite a lot at HuffPo and of the dozen of his two-dozen (?--roughly) posts I&#039;ve read there, I judge him &#039;remedial&#039;, I guess. IN a political context that would make him a Libertarian in my view. He can after trial and error figure out that the square block fits in the square hole and the star fits in the star-shaped hole, but don;t expect him to understand that that ther is more than one type of triangle. I wouldn&#039;t want him to put up a shelf for me, is what I&#039;m saying, but I&#039;ll let him admire it.</description>
