I can hardly blame them though. Today's Neo cons have gone so far away from traditional republican ideals im sure the parents dont even know what to think.

That's where you are wrong, my whole family is filled with Dem's...

I can't speak to what happens in other parts of the Country, but these calls are all from Dem's and most of the commercials are Dem's bashing Republicans, makes them look bad. Tell me something, not bash the other guy.

GR is right, there's completely insane Repub's, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Anne Coulter etc...Hannity is such a clown and unoriginal he copies "You're a Great American" off of Bill Cunningham a local talk show host. I guess you could consider extremes on both sides to be insane...

Another question is why does Ohio have so many votes in the Electoral College? I really don't think there's enough smart people around here to have that kind of decision..

We get the Robo calls from Republicans in Texas. And we got the worst governor ever in the state of Texas, yes, worse than Bill Clemens and Mark White... We got Rick Perry(R). You will never see him except in face cause the girlies think he is hot, but if he speaks on any issue of substance, he has not a clue. You never see him take any questions straight from the press.

The Republicans are at least smart enough not to let the guy talk. I will give them that. And the Democrats in this state have not a clue what they believe. Totally unorganized mess.

Kinky for Governor.

LOL! Pgardn.
Kinky yes? Isn't Jesse Ventura coming down to TX to stump for him?
BTW..I get calls all the time from both parties robos. There is a very simple solution, one that some might not have contemplated...
JUST HANG UP!

I would LOVE to see that. I bet it is a riot.

I have trouble being rude to the telemarketers because I worked as a teleresearcher in college and I know it's a bunch of depressed people sitting at long tables just trying to get their crummy $6/hr (at least that's what I was paid) but I'm still willing to cut it short and hang up promptly so as not to waste their time or mine. God, I hated that job. And I wasn't even selling anything.

Pgardn, the Dems on the national scene have not a clue what they believe, either, and I say this as a very frustrated Dem. I cannot believe they have managed to not only kowtow on the torture thing, but also are STILL accused of being "soft on terror" by Bush. Amazing. (If I were them I'd show campain ads of Bush saying, "Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job" and of him staring blankly into space, holding "My Pet Goat" but fat chance they'd have the cojones.)

And I think a lot of it, honestly, is the God thing. I think politicians are so terrified of standing up to the Religious Right in this nation that they kowtow to all sorts of ridiculous things because the second one of them says, "Abstinence-only education is a ridiculous waste of money" he's portrayed as a godless sodomite who is in bed with the terrorists. And then the Republican who wins because he yammers about how God influences all his decisions merrily votes on fiscal plans that hurt the poor and middle-class buy hey, that's okay because at least fags can't get married, right? And these Religious Righters who yammer about God's Kingdom on Earth push for torture on enemy combatants and tax cuts for the wealthy and all sorts of things that I suspect their alleged inspiration, Jesus, would be scratching his head over. But I think it's easier to listen to words than watch actions in this nation.

Anyway, to borrow from the NYTimes, I agree with you, the Democrats seem to have misplaced their spine the past few years. (Mind you, I'm still voting for them, because someone has to get these crazy religious nutjobs out of their government jobs, but I'm not hopeful these days.)

GR, this is sooo true. I get po'ed every time someone talks about how "Christian" they are right now if they are involved with the government. Sure, it's "Christian" to send your troops over to get killed in a war that maybe never should have taken place. It's "Christian" to indirectly lie to the American people. What Mark Foley did sure was "Christian" also. And it sure was "Christian" of the Repubs. to cover his a s s for a little while, and not letting the information get out. Remaining in power is so much more important than a sex offense...

KR,
I don't know if you saw this. It was put out before the book even hit the racks. Methinks they're skeered...hmmmm.
Chickens always come home to roost. Couldn't have flown home at a better time. Alas, the dems will miss it yet again, cause they feed at the same trough.

KY Rose,
I have no clue as to which one is lieing. Your guess is as good as mine.
So much seems to be going on, it's difficult to know who to believe...whether it's a senator from Florida, one from Virginia, a Secretary of State, or even, dare I say, a President.
It's getting "dirty" in a hurry.
