So you think you are entitled to use a public, non-moderated newsgroup
to spew your dislike for those who don't share your progressive liberal
views? Do you seriously think you are going to change anybody's minds?
The more you mock, ridicule, taunt and insult the stronger the resolve
of those who don't subscribe to your views becomes. If your intent is
to try to convert, your efforts are backfiring big time, just as many
liberal Democratic politicians up for re-election are finding that their
adherence to the party line is backfiring on them.
Sorry, I'm not into conversions, religious or political.
I am sure you heard that Republican David Jolly won the special election
in Florida. The area is almost equally divided between registered
Republicans and registered Democrats, so it can't be brushed off as
being a "Florida" thing. There are a lot of disgruntled voters across
the nation who are looking for a change in direction.
I saw that. A Republican retains a seat held by Republicans for 50
years. I'm not surprised. Jolly is just another conservative lobbying
whore, and is no better a public servant than the governor there, a
fellow who, among other things, pushed for mandatory drug testing of
welfare recipients and, just coincidentally, happens to own a drug
testing company. Whoosh.
