does it matter? sometimes i agree with her, sometimes i don't. sometimes i think she gives dems far too much credit. sometimes i think reps not enough.
but, ask yourself that same question. are you always attacking dems? if so, why? surely you don't think one party has all the answers, and the other none? if you don't think she's right, how can you be right by always opposing? think about it. some dems sometimes vote with reps, and vice versa. that should tell you that you can't just lump them all together.


btw, sometimes they need attacking. same for the dems. they come up with some pretty sorry, stupid crap. for gods sakes, the reps had sarah palin as their vp nominee. can't get much dumber than that.

Very true what you just said. My opinion is that Riot feels that the Dems can do no wrong. Riot brought about the person who resigned over some pics and was a Republican. Yet no mention is made of Charlie Rangel who comitted a far more serious offense and is still serving.

Strange you completely ignore my answer to you, in favor of what you'd prefer to think in spite of what I say.

Ever watch the movie A Few Good Men? You play the Colonel. Remember what Tom Cruise told the Colonel? Did you not bring up the man who resigned over the pics of bad taste?

Yes, in passing - and with admiration for his actions accepting responsibility. And I also said some bad things about Rangel, if I recall.

Do I attack the Republicans all the time, and the Dems rarely? YES, I DO! After years of financially contributing, political action walking neighborhoods, supporting the party and candidates, going to the country party meetings - YES, I DO! The current incarnation of the Republican party is an utter disappointment and laughingstock to me. Do I think the Dems perfect? Nope. Do I embrace a progressive agenda? Hardly. Did I vote Obama? YES, I DID! Gladly!

Not that I think that what I actually say and do, will affect what you say I say and do.

You want to attack the Republicans all the time, expect me to continue attacking your beloved money spending Democrats. You dont think the Dems are a disappointment and laughing stock? Im about to fall out of my chair from laughing very hard. I gladly voted for McCain.

Feel free. It's your right. Expect me to continue to point out how historically and factually it has been the Republicans, not the Dems, who are "money spending" over the past 60 years.

Not compared to the current GOP, I don't. I didn't think I was going to vote Democratic in the last presidential election until I saw the GOP Convention. That was the end of the GOP for me, until they earn their way back.

Don't get hurt. But I'll be happy to pay for your free government health care. You also voted for Palin.

i'd imagine the rep resigned because of pressure from his constituents, which probably can't be said about ol charlie. and as long as those pols self-police, they won't be knocking each other out over ethics. the one who votes rangel out might be the next on the chopping block.
