Yes I do feel that way, at least with a republican you can disagree but you generally feel a topic is being discussed in an intelligently dignified way. Libs cater to common denominator bush haters without offering any new ideas..i.e. we are in Iraq now that discussion is over, how best to we handle things now. The general dem cant have this conversation because they only have one line, and that is hatred for one man..they only offer over stuffed social programs that do nothing for anyone (see where most black males are now since they were "blessed" with civil rights legislation in the 60s (and that%u2019s the best thing you could point to)..i just find that I cant have an honest conversation with dems about policy, because they have no ideas, just nonsense and re-direction..and then you put people like sharpton, jackson and now this worm out there..its just madness. I hope one day I can meet one of you tools that actually provides some insight not just cater to the lowest common denominator.

scott4261, your right on target but we need to put bar up to stop that leftward swing. (just a jab) LOL:)

Anyway, gotta go, have a good one.

In case you haven't noticed, the Republicans can no longer claim to be the party of fiscal responsibility without being laughed out of the room. Because of George W. Bush's myopic and incompetent leadership, the GOP will lose the presidency as well as more congressional and senate seats in 2008. At that point, the Democrats will have two out the three branches of government. The judicial branch will conservative for years to come, Bush has seen to that.

American politics goes in cycles. The pendulum swung to the left in the 60's, peaking in the '70s (Civil rights, Vietnam, Watergate). It swung to the right in the '80s (Reagan) and then sort of centered in the '90s after peaking to the left in '94 (Clinton/Republican congress). Since 2001, we have been in the far right ditch. Now we are going to take a shift to the left before we settle in the middle again sometime in the next decade.

Al Frankin will be the U.S. Senator from Minnesota, reclaiming the late, great Paul Wellstone's seat. A Democrat will be president. And then you conservatives will get too greedy again and the pendulum will start its swing back to the right.

And so it goes...

Another stooge and bozo in more ways than one joining his neo-fascist moveon.org friends.

maybe franken-stein wants to go over to gaza next and break bread with hamas. he'll be lucky if they don't chop off his ignoramus head instead.

Remember HIS immortal words:

"I'm dumb enough, I'm weak enough, and doggone it people **** on me".

aa,
Do you really believe your own BS? The Democrats have accomplished more in the last month than the Republicans did in the last 12 years.

Frankin is wrong on some issues (abortion, staying the course in Iraq) but in comparison to the 2 Right-wing extremists Minnesota presently has in the Senate, Frankin would be a 100% improvement.

Who could stand that whinney little clown? oh wait libs can. im sure the tool will win too..god that guys sucks,

[diverinnl]

husker, I didn't say "insignificant", I said "narrow". If you were as insightful as you prop yourself up to be, you would know the difference. To assume that all conservatives are ignorant, redneck dolts that only drive taxis or big rigs is laughable and a great insight into the liberal mind.

Actually motherjones, Rush Limbaugh signed on in '88 or '89, but was on the air for more than 5 years before he had a significant audience (Bill Clinton had to become president, so he could have a liberal to rail against and galvanize his audience. Same thing is happening w/George W. Bush and Air America). AA seems to be gaining more momentum in less time.
