JG" wrote in message Mit Romney has a great name, but is very, very cozy with the religious right (I mean who else do they have?). The bulk of this country. The so-called religious right is actually a very small extremist percentage of the overall conservative base. They are the right-wing equivalent of the far left-wing, ala Michael Moore, Barbara Streisand, George Clooney, Al Franken, Ward Churchill et. al, ad nauseum. In the same way that the Democrat candidate won't do anything to alienate the far left-wing wackos, the GOP candidate won't alienate the religious right-wing. Both candidates may actually pander to the extremes a little, but each candidate's core message had better be to the center of the country or he's/she's toast on a stick. In other words, Jon, you won't like even your Democrat candidate, because you're a far-leftist and he/she isn't about to speak *only* to you and your ilk. Look what doing that did for John Kerry. You might be wise to get into Ralph Nader's camp. Now there is a genuine left-wing wacko, like yourself. And I mean that in only the nicest possible way. Max I'm sure you do. g ------ Unfortunately, the RR have a lot more power than their numbers due to some really amazing marketing from the likes of Karl (Actung) Rove and people like him. I'm having trouble finding any of the candidates who are actually pandering to the exteme left... Edwards. Did you miss the flap over a couple of his campaign workers? Apparently they were posting some highly anti-religious, anti-Catholic rhetoric on a far left blog. When it was brought to Edward's attention, he commented that he'd talk to them but wasn't going to ask them to cease and desist. When the feces hit the fan over the bloggers, they both resigned about 24 hours later. My impression is that Edwards was relying on his workers to quietly fan the flames of left-wing sentiment on the Internet while he preached a more moderate Democrat spiel in front of the cameras. But he got caught. And, just so we're clear, I'm not a left-wing wacko. I'm just a liberal on social policies and far more conservative than Bush on economic policies. When you decide what Bush's economic policies are, please let me know. Max I did miss it... perhaps Rush should talk about it more. Heh... I'll do that, but it's going to be a long wait... I was going to say tax and spend, but that's a Dem thing. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |
