See what they did to Ron Paul?

If Ron Paul wasn''t a social conservative I might have supported him.

There is massive amounts of money to be made telling faux-conservatives what they want to hear. Tell them to hate on liberals. Tell them to hate on anyone who questions Bush. Tell them to hate on anyone who might not share their world views. Watch O''Reilly. Buy Ann''s new book. Listen to Rush. These sleaze merchants sell out their nation and don''t give a da.mn.

roger_inkart- "Because it''''s been hijacked by ultra rightwing loonies,"

Dukes, I agree. See what they did to Ron Paul? ***.....to me Ron Paul was the last gasp of the libertarian roots of the now TRULLY Grand OLD PARTY.

What happened?

[roger_inkart]

So why is it that in the GOP/Republican party there are no dissenters, no independent thinkers, no moderates?

Because it''s been hijacked by ultra rightwing loonies, the arrogant and moronic neo-cons and sleazy media maggots like Ann Coulter, Bill O''Reilly, Rush Limbaugh (who can blame them - their listeners love to hate on anyone who dares disagree with them or the ultra-righty pols who carry out their warped ideologies and endless warfare.

Take your party back from these shameless anti-American SOBs already!

You can''t build a party based on racism and lining the pockets of the top 1%. There is no such thing as conservative "philosophy" - it has been shown in the last 7 years to be nothing more than window dressing for scandal, corruption and criminal activity.

No surprise to me. I''ve know it my entire life, which is why I am and always will be a liberal.

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?
