  • Lieberman Is A Joke, Everything Matters, Where is The Moral Majority

    All, every single one of these rethug messes matters bvery, vbery much. Let the american people make sure they remember every rethug mess when it comes time to vote. Then once the Dems get into power(I doubt it but one can hope)they too must remember they will also be under the watchful eye of the american people.

    So, Lieberman is doing what, damage control for the party of god, the Republican party. Maybe the sanctimonius Lieberman should join the party of god(small g). If the party of god(repubs) are not sinners and the rest of us are all the sinners than what does that say about Lieberman and his defense of that party and it's behaviors. Lieberman must be a sinner since he is not a Repub, at least not yet.

    All of it matters including Foleygate. WHY, because it is truly all about character or, in the case of the Rethugs and their endless crimes, their almost complete lack of character. Boosh and the rethugs are morally bankrupt.

    And once more the rethugs seek to blur the issues, blame others and avoid responsibility.

    And the pope, the Catholic Church,my church, and the SBC actually support and endorse all of this endless criminal and corrupt behavior by the Republican part, Newt Gingrich's moral majority, the party of god(small g).

    Don't conflate the true GOD with the rethugs just because the catholic church hierarchy and the Southern Baptist Convention(SBC) say they are the party of god. And what does that say about the catholic church and the SBC. They don't know who the real God is, they have their own political gods.

    Ex Sen Danforth a staunch and dedicated Bushie and a member of the party of god(small g becuase their god is not my God, but now I sound like them, yuck and ugghhh) was on the Charlie Rose show last night and he is just beginning to see the light, maybe, but he still loves his Bush and his Repub party when he should be loving truth, justuce and the American way. So much for his values.

    Remember Danforth, my religion was once a very private and personal experience but you Repubs have turned religion into a media circus. And your supposed to be a minister. You need to take religious lessons from people like Bill Moyers, Pres. Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter, Jim Wallis and others. You and all repubs should really and seroiusly question your values, especially your religious values. You just may not know what you think you are so sure you know.

  • Moderate Democrat

    Sir,

    With all due respect to yourself, there is no more center because the Repubs killed the center via their 'slash and burn' politics. It is they Bush who said 'your either with us or against us'. That Bush/Repub/Rove statement made my blood run cold. That was their statement to everyone including all us americans who dissent, be we center dissenters, moderate dissenters, left wing dissenters, independant dissenters(as I am) or even right wing dissenters, if there are any which does not seem to be the case.

    'Slah and burn' and 'smash mouth politics' does not make room for any center.

    And finally, any Dem who attempts to reach across the aisle will draw back a bloody stump. To the Repubs reaching across the aisle means nothing more and nothing less than complete capitulation.
