What an odd way of reasoning.

The people elect their government, if the politicians don't follow their will they are replaced.

If there was any legitimacy to the rantings of Coulter and her ilk believe you me those same Republican politicians would be walking behind the pipers.

It is precisely because they don't have to worry about being elected that Coulter, Limbaugh, Hannity, and the "others" can spew their rhetoric.

When was the last time Mr Corsi ran for office?

I don't think my reasoning is odd at all. The Republican party (in Washington) has basically given up. They just need to come out and say "Well everyone, we really don't have an effective chance to change policy so were all gonna take a vacation until it's time to start campaigning for 2010"

I can't wait to see their 'tough' questions for the new SCOTUS to be.

So, if I may, allow me to ask you (and any other Republican) an honest question ...

Do you think the party would be better off and stronger if its representatives were to as you say "stand up" and champion Coulter's, Limbaugh's, and Hannity's positions clearly and loudly?

Would you support that as a clear cut GOP platform?

Would the American people?

That's a very good question but as far as Rush, Hannity, Coulter, they are saying these things to get a reaction out of people and they do it very well. Do I think they are wrong? Some times yes and some times no. Do I disagree in their delivery? absolutely. they are entertainers.
Elected Republicans need to stand by their beliefs and set the pace for the party instead of allowing the talk show hosts to do it for them. I just believe if they looked back at what they stood for 25 years ago then they would be in a much better position then they are in now.

The party is in shambles right now when they should be in a great position to get all those seats back and more.

There are 2 Democrat parties in Washington right now, the Liberals and the Moderates i.e Republicans.

Agreed!!!

And this is on both sides btw, forget worldnetdaily, forget mediamatters, and forget all the pundits.

Be true to yourself and to the constitution and let the chips fall where they may.

Is that going to happen?

No.

Both parties have intertwined media with politics to serve their own purpose. The problem with that is that by doing so they have aligned their fate with the Limbaughs and Olbermanns of this world who have nothing to lose but ratings.

As a result you get things like this:

Top Republican calls Limbaugh, Gingrich comments 'terrible'

And then we have Limbaugh attacking him and saying that the GOP should give up on the Hispanic vote.

What makes you think I haven't and don't consider those "reliable" websites all that reliable?

I don't need to bash the GOP... they are doing a perfectly adequate job of doing it to themselves.

BTW I am a white male who grew up in the south of the 50's 60's and 70's and I have never once felt oppressed... over anything.

Then why do you?

well... I guess I'll show my hand in this thread...

OK...

I really like Obama... I voted for him, a good majority of my extended family did as well.

I volunteered for the Obama campaign as I was already traveling statewide with my father for his Democratic Senatorial Run.

I still support President Obama and I have been very pleased by all of his actions thus far...

I believe Grover and SD both can recall some threads where I was near (and a few posts way past) breaching T&C Defending my candidate...

Now... That said.

Something does not sit right with me about this woman. The moment I started seeing her in coverage on CNN, and reading her stances on some of her major cases... Well she doesn't remind me of a 'Just' Judge.

Add in the fact that she believes a Latino Female can do a job better than a white male; that she supports 'la raza' which is a Spanish only empowerment group easily on par with the Black Panthers of the 60's and the Klan of the early 1900's; and the pot begins to boil WAAAYYYY tooo much for me to be interested in the stew that would result.

If this woman gets a seat on the Supreme Court from Obama, I will not be pleased. Experience does not equate to justice. This woman reminds me of every judge with a 'god complex' (i.e. I make the rules, and I make your punishment. Disrespect me and I'll ruin you) that I have dealt with in my life.

It may be my small town upbringing... But after a few cases of being in a court and the judge trampling Multiple people's right to a fair and expedient trial in a row; I tend to not trust a judge that has an "authoritative and Definitive" answer for everything.


Dammit, If we're going to focus on putting a liberal on the court this term... Well why not make sure their not just a liberal in their heads, but also in their hearts as well.
