Please, someone tell where the CENTRIST Republicans are?

Many Americans today have been enlightened by the two wars we find ourselves involved. One war, the "war on terrorism", finds its main battleground in Afghanistan, and it is a war that costs lives and money but the majority of Americans support. Liberals, Democrats, Republicans, Conservatives, most don''t have a problem with us kicking down the doors of members of the Taliban.

When talking about the war in Iraq the parties have much difference. Democrats say that the public and congress was mislead to justify the war in Iraq and that the Bush Administration no longer deserves autonomy in situations where US service men and women''s lives are on the line. Based on the results of the last Congressional elections, most Americans see a problem with GOP/Republicans; at least in the way they make decisions about the use of our military.

So why is it that in the GOP/Republican party there are no dissenters, no independent thinkers, no moderates? Where are the real conservatives who would laugh at how conservatively the current Republican party has been spending taxes, and creating big government? Has the Republican Party lost its identity? Can the ideology of the GOP be so easily summed up in Karl Rove talking points like %u201Csupport this and support that%u201D, and angry rhetoric like %u201Cliberals are traitors%u201D?

Hello centrist Republicans! Anybody out there?

While many Obama''s Supporters think it''s "cool" to have a Black Prez....

It''s totally UNbalanced to have a Minority governing over a Majority... That will only create More Chaos and Trouble.

I have been a faithful Democrat for years.... But if the Liberals in the DEM pushes for Obama, rest assure that my Community and I will definitely jump ship to McCain.

Here is a video on the relationship between John McCain and his evil
pastor supporter John Hagee. Please send to as many people as
possible so we can show everyone that McCain has his own pastor
problem.

Let the circus begin, the worst part is that they think we are stupid enough to fall for the daily jabs. I believe that most Americans are smart and we just get tired of the "Springer" effect and stop listening.

What I want to know is why the nedia does not focus on something more *** important the Rev.Wright and what he preached? You have candidates that should be addressing issues relevant to the american people. I feel the media is using these scare tactics because they have nothing better to do then toute race and fear. Do your *** jobs for a change instead of rehashing old b.s.
Here is something you could report on:

More side shows pleeze.

I''ve seen more freaks in a circus sideshow. These people should stay out of the way and let the process proceed.

[randynason]

These people are distracting from the general focus. They need to get out and keep out of the way.
