Gaw-this place is getting polluted.
Now we allow posters to call people(long-time posters with cred) out instead of e-mailing or using the contact form. We allow people to post diaries simply for the joy of taunting others.
What is next? This place will soon be a cesspool just like KOS if this doesn't stop.

of the party. I wouldn't have called him out if he didn't just post a veiled "woe is me" whiny attack on people who are calling for party unity. If you're going to complain about the level of discourse on the site, you should promote a high level of discourse yourself. David Hinz has insulted my reading ability, accused me of being another poster who got banned, and accused me of having OCD - is that what you call civil?

You're engaging in moral equivalence similar to the Israel/Palestine thing in a tiny scale.

He's right that people from disfavored wings of the party(or should I say, that are seen as being part of disfavored wings of the party and/or movement) are frequently called out for retaliating after they've been attacked, and not in reverse.

But that's all I'll say. I'm not going to get in to another catfight and I have nothing against Heinz personally.

At any rate, Dave has been here a long time and does great work. I'm sorry to see him go and the site will not be better for it.

Almost all the common sense Republicans decided to close ranks raise shields and thrust swords for the win.

Its not worth going into the details, if he would have just left with out a big sob story about everybody was mean to him I wouldn't have even said anything.

[And I second the weight requirements, but not necessarily the age thing. I've seen women in their 60s that outshine many of the teens out there today.]

My Dad still can't believe this party is nominating John McCain to be the President. I mean, he gets it on a factual, pragmatic level, but in terms of *accepting* it, he's just going to pull the lever like a zombie, with practically no enthusiasm, and you can be sure absolutely no money in terms of donations.

He would have preferred anyone over John McCain three years ago. He would still prefer almost anyone over John McCain, including Mitt Romney. So I understand Dave's wigging out here. It's the Walking Wounded Election for Conservatives.

Freedom of Religion not Freedom from Religion

Our party is in a funk. We are acting like liberals that need regular therapy. We had Hillary Clinton as the purported adversary, yet we did little. The field was not great, but neither were the voters. We did not turn out in powerful numbers, we did not give money in great amounts.

I do not know if it is the War, Bush fatigue or something else. I do know that conservatives as a large group, have not been very inspiring or powerful.

Complaining about McCain as our candidate is like complaining that Tiger Woods keeps winning tournaments. Politics is not about complaining you did not get your way, it is about GETTING your way. If we had so much better than McCain, then where were they, where were we? I am not looking for excuses, we have all heard those.

While I don't like so see anyone who has a decent point to make, there has been quite a few pointed sticks pointed towards anyone that does not have the same level of disdain for the nominee of the Republican party from the author of this Douglas Macarthur like farewell to the troops.

The Douglas Macarthur reference is indeed a pointed stick truth be told, intended to point out the diva like behavior of those "True Conservatives" now that their horse has fallen at or before the finish line (if that's not a mixed metaphor, I've never met one).

In closing, message to those divas of the base that insist that only they know what's best; "Get over yourself", you, your horse and your message lost the primaries because it's tired and stale as much as John McCain and moderates won. It's now time to ether turn to electing a Republican that is better than any Democrat or continue to cry in your Near Beer.

If us moderates have got it wrong, show us, but don't demand we pay obeisances to your superior views of the world just based on your own view of self importance, we'll listen, Democrats won't.

Mike Huckahucka

Tom Tancredo

Sam Brownback

Rick Santorum

Tom Delay

All hard right candidates rejected or resigned from office who play hard ball smash mouth politics, well not really all. Huckahucka practices identity populism, he's a special case and unfortunately is not going away any time soon.

How about famous Republicans who were not Far Right ideologues but understood that government is based on the art of the compromise?

Ronald Wilson Reagan anyone?

Barry Goldwater?

It's prima facie that Huckabee isn't. If you lived in Kansas, you'd know Sam Brownback isn't, at least when it comes to immigration.
Tim Schieferecke

Brownback and Huckahuck are only hard right on the abortion issue, they seemly could care less about spending or illegal aliens, or defense or any other conservative issues.

I also qualified my remark about Huckhucka.

It's hardly necessary now is it...and I don't even personally like him but I thought names were reserved for the opposition you know the D's not R's...

Freedom of Religion not Freedom from Religion

Brownback's an across-the-board movement conservative; with the exception of immigration, on which there are real divisions in the movement, he's basically one of us.

Huck is another kettle of fish entirely, and describing him as "hard right" really bends the term beyond any meaning.

time but being the great communicator he did not have to be so gentile all the time....I give you the one thing that tore up the Dems and that was his build-up of missiles in Europe and thus ending the Cold War in splendid fashion. Nope no sir no give and take there...masterful in communicating to real Americans the necessity of the task at hand.

Let's just say he did not dismiss his base to achieve what he wanted.

Freedom of Religion not Freedom from Religion

He still pushed through virtually every agenda he stood for, and he did it with well communicated leadership. He took to the bully pulpit with a twinkle in his eye, a "well, there you go again", and an immovable optimism that was infectious. He stood on principle and won. The Republicans became spendaholic Democrat-not so lites and refused to listen to their base in 06 and got clobbered. Compromise for the sake of compromise is a cop out. If you do it too much, your bold colors become bleached out. Americans want strong leaders that take a stand.

The GOP held the Senate from 1981 to 1987. From 1981 to 1983, Reagan had a working majority in the House composed of Republicans and Democratic "Boll Weevils". The Speaker of the House from 1981 to 1987, Tip O'Neill, had a deep respect for the presidency and knew how to fight with Reagan without letting it get personal.

Reagan got nothing much done in his last two years. The Dems took back the Senate and the highly partisan Jim Wright took over as Speaker.

obscure their revulsion of Reagan at the time as a right wing warmonger religious fundamentalist kook. Reagan was THE social conservative. He brought them in and WON. He wrote a book opposing abortion and the killing of the severely disabled. Yes, Reagan compromised at times, on economics, never of values, and so has Bush. No difference.

There is no basis for your opinion that the author of those blogs sought to "divide" our party.

I don't know what "bp" is, but I do know that your allegations of intended division are bs.

but it is blood pressure

We all seem to have it up a few points lately.

I did not say there were any factual errors, I said the tone was bad - it's what Dave was complaining about. Seems like most everyone wants their own echo chamber here and there are a few that just want people to be civil to each other, count me in the latter.

I hope we can have disagreements over moderate/conservative/liberal without being disagreeable, maybe we can't.

Why is that we must support the Maverick to be team players, but he doesn't need to support our team to be a team player.

We are not doing anytning to McCain that McCain himself hasn't done to conservatices (e.g. poke conservatives with pointy sticks).

Nothing wrong with letting people vent, complain, talk about things that will require placing pressure on McCain, etc.

So long as they aren't talking about voting for someone else or sitting on their hands, they are being maverick Republicans and should be embraced for following McCain's example.

I continually stand aghast at the amount of damage that Bush's policies (and Cheney's policies) have done to the party.

Yes, Bush's opponents are odious. Please understand that by my calling Bush's policies "bad" I am not endorsing the Democrats.

But there was a great deal of "bundling" going on with Bush. He stepped up after 9/11 and was exactly what the country needed.

But that doesn't make his immigration policies good.
That doesn't make his fiscal policies good.
That doesn't make his energy policies good.
That doesn't make, heck, his anything policies good.

But, for years, the defense against dang-near anything Bush did was a variant of either "the democrats would be worse" or "the War on Terror is the only thing that matters".

You can't keep saying "we'll deal with your issues after the election, your complaints are currently giving aid and comfort to the Democrats" without elections like 2006 following.

But I am merely repeating myself and others at this point.

And, to be sure, I keep thinking that the democrats can't be *THAT* dumb before a presidential election and, sure enough, they manage to exceed my wildest imaginings. Maybe they'll do it again.
