Let me put it another way, since tongue-in-cheek commentary is apparently lost on you: only an idiot would spoil for another war. Civil or otherwise.

Then shut your cowardly mouth about secession.

I suggest everyone send Senator Snow a card that says “Know who would make a sexy Democrat?” “YOU”. “And we respect differing opinions on our side.”

Actually if she got enough of those, she’d have to think about it. It’s one thing to be wooed by party bigwigs, but a grassroots movement…? Just a thought.

We don’t need more idiotic war-cheerleading, do we?

Not idiotic at all. Secession causes civil war. The President is supposed to preserve the Union. It’s perfectly justified, with plenty of historical precedent.

Besides, plenty of people live in Texas who don’t want to secede, and shouldn’t be forced to move. For the secessionists to take that state out of the Union would be tantamount to denying those people their Constitutional rights. We’d just be liberating them from tyranny.

The clincher was that story about how Obama is going to be crowned The Messiah. Whaaaaaat?

They keep comparing him to Jesus like that would be a bad thing. I guess that makes them all Satanists. Which would explain a lot…

2012: Republicans run Mitt Romney; Christian Right runs own candidate. (Rick Warren?). Romney/Palin comes in 3rd.

2014; Family Party (or whatever) picks up 6 seats in House.

2016: Jindalaccepts Republican nomination; Palin switches to Family Party; H.Clintom/J,Schakowski win election; Republican Party comes in 4th, behind Roon Paul; Family party picks up a Senate seat and 16 House seats, all at the expense of Republicans.

2018: Specter, Snow, Collins, Grassley, Bloomberg, Lieberman, Schwarzenegger announce formation of Centrist Party.

2020; Republican Party Convention deadlocked, nominates Glenn Beck; Centrist Party comes in second to Hilary Clinton; third is Huckabee Palin; 4th is Libertarian Party running Matt Perker & Trey Stone; Republcans come in 6th behind Nader (who may not still be alive: 1st Net-only convention.)

2018:

I imagine Ms. Snowe is taking a serious look at which way the wind will be blowing in Maine.

Olympia Snowe could sell meth on street corners to ten-year-olds and get caught in bed with Bill Clinton and would still garner 70% of the vote up here. She’s a goddess in this state, and there really are no credible right-wing loonies to run against her.

Mainers are an independent lot. Collins was reelected but Obama got all the electoral votes. I imagine Ms. Snowe is taking a serious look at which way the wind will be blowing in Maine.
Seeing how Specter is savaged by the RepoTaliban, and seeing how he will be treated by the Dems might just be the deciding point.

Wow. Just — wow. I clicked on Fox Nation and was absolutely amazed. This is easily as blatantly biased as any openly biased blogsite.

I also clicked and had the exact same reaction as you did. Talk about over the top! The clincher was that story about how Obama is going to be crowned The Messiah. Whaaaaaat?

It seems to be a mix of hysteria, propaganda and general insanity.

The only reason I welcomed yesterday’s news is that it adds another nail to the coffin of the fascist far right. But I don’t want Arlen Specter as a senator in my Democratic party. Not when I could have Joe Sestak. And I don’t want Olympia Snowe, either.

At this rate, it may be a big tent, but only a small number of people in it,
