Guess what guys, the other guy is worse. Just because Rand does not pass some sort of racial purity test you want to kill him, when the Democrat who is running against him is actually the worst of the two, by the standards that should matter to you.

The only reason the Democrats ever win an election is that Republicans are so fucking incmpetant a 4 year old can out think them. Does it mean anything to you that you can't? It certainly means something to the rest of the world. Which is why you are going home in Novemeber, unless you start focusing on the real issues.

“Maddow and Paul agree on probably 90 per cent of the BIG issues confronting us, from ending the drug and Afghan war, to ending bail outs. But because of their own peculiar prejudices, his doctrinaire libertarian, hers PC progressive, neither of them can talk about anything other than a non-issue such as the Civil Rights Act of 19 -- SIXTY-FOUR. It's like a Dadaist play.”

It’s the easiest thing in the world for a grandstanding liberal to push a libertarian into a corner. Then they’ll get praise for their unflinching courage, like Morris Dees’ South Poverty Law Center putting another “hate group” in the Index and waiting for the contributions to roll in.

Here’s Maddow, brandishing the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as though this is the only matter worth considering in the forthcoming race between Rand Paul and the Democrat, an awful neo-liberal prosecutor, Kentucky’s current attorney general, Jack "I'm a Tough Son-of-a-Bitch" Conway. Between Conway and Paul, which one in the U.S. Senate would more likely be a wild card – which is the best we can hope for these days – likely to filibuster against a bankers’ bailout, against reaffirmation of the Patriot Act, against suppression of the CIA’s full torture history? Paul, one would have to bet, and these are the votes that count, where one uncompromising stand by an outsider can make a difference, unlike the gyrations and last-ditch sell-outs of Blowhard Bernie Sanders. Liberals love grandstanding about what are, in practice, distractions. You think the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is going to come up for review in the U.S. Senate?


Fuck, even the liberals are disgusted with liberals today.

If you understand what motivates a person, what their beliefs are, their opinions, positions, then it makes it easier to vote for them.

Conservatives are anti education. They knew nothing about Iraq or Afghanistan. They know nothing about Muslims. Nothing about drilling. Nothing about the economy.

It's why everything they touch turns to shit. Like Midas, only shit.

I have to admit this part always confuses me What exactly has Obama done that is different than what Bush did? Exactly what makes you think that the owner of an oil company knows less about drilling than a Harvard lawyer?

It's not a Harvard lawyer spilling thousands of gallons of oil per day out of a hole they drilled.

You've met how many Conservatives? Oh yeah. You've already admitted the answer is zero. Your knowledge of Conservatives comes from Al Franken and Rachel Maddow.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 is a non-issue? Is that an acknowledgment by those who would in fact make it legal for a business owner to discriminate based on race that they represent little more than a crackpot fringe whose views would never be embraced by mainstream America ( aka the real America)? Is that why it's a non-issue?

Is it just because it's so long ago? Is that what makes it a non-issue? Well Roe v. Wade is not a heckuva lot less long ago, and anti-choice conservatives don't show any signs of writing that off as a non-issue.
 
I know enough about teh conservatives who have cheated in the last 30 years of elections to make my statement huh?

My knowledge of conservatives comes in large part from reading tens of thousands of posts by self identified conservatives expressing their opinions on the issues. And it's fair to say that rdean has a comparable knowledge base.

Is that insufficient?

...Like the IMPROVING-ECONOMY??!!!!

:cool:
 
Who are these liberals, anyway?

Surely you don't think the Obama administration is actually liberal, do you?

Why he's no more authentically liberal than Bush II was authentically a conservative.

Moreso....

How ill-informed and poorly led are the majority of conservatives. The Conservative movement has purged its intellectual element in favor of the talk show pundit

Wow. Your encyclopedic knowledge of Conservatism really runs the whole gamut from A to B, doesn't it?
