I actually think there are quite a few honest liberals. Perhaps naive
and misinformed but very honest and well intentioned - nice people by
and large. They are of course outside the inner circle of political
activism where ideology becomes a blood sport.

Funny stuff coming from two guys whose "conservative" political party
has thrown up for the presidential nomination nothing but dog whistle
blowing assholes like Trump and Cruz, the current leaders, Ben Carson,
who seems to know nothing, Marco Rubio, who doesn't show up for his own
campaign events, and a pack of never weres and never wills. And
apparently Cruz is ahead of Trump among the Iowa evangelicals.

Oh, wait...the Republican conservative movement will be saved by...Jeb Bush!

I heard Ed Rollins saying if they end up in a brokered convention
(possible if not likely), they might dust off Romney again.

Thought he had a gig at a wax museum.

If they do he'll be just as much of a stiff the second time.

If you've never seen this, and you have any appreciation for the meaning of
Christmas, then you're missing a good show. I didn't realize the whole thing was
available on YouTube.

Full screen, volume up, sit back and enjoy. Great to watch with family. Better
resolution on the DVD.

Hell, the DVD's only ten bucks now.

I find it humorous that you are posting about "the meaning of Christmas."
Good for you!
--

Ban idiots, not guns!

Ask your priest whether god prefers kind atheists and agnostics over
hate-filled christians.
What priest?

To my knowledge, God has no preferences.

Do you classify anyone who doesn't agree with you and your opinions a 'hate-filled
Christian'?

Trust me, no one here would waste such an emotion on you. Disgust, maybe. Hate, no.

Priest, pastor, minister, imam, rabbi, whatever...

Oh, and I think there are posters here who are hate-filled christians.

Again, you're not worth it.

I agree but at least he is not nuts.
Ed was making the point that the old establishment still wants to have
a voice and the other people on the panel were saying the
establishment is exactly what the Trump and Sanders people are
rebelling against.
I do think that if this doesn't get some kind of sense pretty soon the
GOP may go the way of the Whigs. They lost me over 2 decades ago and I
think more people are poised to jump. The only question is "where"?
They are not going to become democrats.

I also keep reminding myself, this is still silly season where we have
contemplated Herman Cain, Buchanan, Gingrich and any number of other
folks who were gone by Easter. The democrats have a rich history of
obscure whackos a year out too. Nobody has cast a single vote yet and
talking heads are already making predictions..

I have a prediction. Your suicide numbers will sky-rocket no matter the
outcome. Many believe a win for the opposing political party will be the
end of the world. O'Bama is a perfect example of the damage caused by
wrong choices at the polls. No matter who wins in 16, we should see some
relief from the destructive path we are on now.
