		<description>BTW:lgm said,

&lt;blockquote&gt;More on Republicans going for Obama. This is a picture of a dangerous man. You’ve seen Reagan Democrats, now see this.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I don&#039;t get it?

Maybe I&#039;m a dullard and it&#039;s over my head, but I looked at the link and read the tee-shirt, and I don&#039;t get it?</description>

		<description>I live in a state that has been dominated by single party rule - Democrat - since time immemorial; similarly, I come from a family that  has supported the Democrats, without fail, since the mid 1800&#039;s. 

Yet when I came of voting age, in 1982 - during President Reagan&#039;s rejuvenation of the American spirit and ideals, in his first term - I was proud to register as a Republican, and I have voted the straight Republican ticket ever since!

The pride I feel for my country is reflected in my party affiliation. 

And while I may not be defined by my party, I could and would never vote outside of it! The amount of dedication and acquiescence I feel towards the GOP and its greater platform of ideas -ideas that thoroughly encapsulate the American spirit - keep me enthralled and excited about the future of our mighty nation under Republican leadership! I could never turn my back on the GOP and vote against it, simply because of the momentary, fad appeal of the opposite party&#039;s newest flavor-of-the-month candidate.

Thus I do not understand when some people say &quot;Oh, I&#039;m a registered Republican - but this time I&#039;m voting for the Democrats.&quot; 

To me, they were NEVER true Republicans to begin with, and are just grandstanding before the media for a few fleeting moments of attention, and possible recognition by the candidate they now purport to support! People that  flip party affiliation this way not only  betray their own credibility and depth of commit, but they come-off as less than genuine! 

How they expect anyone in the opposite party, to which they now pledge life-long allegiance, to take them seriously is beyond me - especially when just one election cycle ago they were vowing their unyielding support to the opposite party&#039;s candidate, the party they just flaked on!</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Silly Iowans...&lt;/strong&gt;

In the past, I&#039;ve spent more than a little time working for Republican causes. My GOP bona fides can, I think, go unchallenged. I&#039;m not a New York Times version of a &quot;lifelong Republican.&quot; But this year.... Let me put it this way: if Huckabee wins ...</description>

		<description>&quot;His views on Communism were probably not the view I would appreciate today. I&#039;ve got a much more global perspective today, and Obama touches that.&quot;

She is a complete and total idiot.</description>

		<description>With due respect, in our measured, nothing-surprises-us-anymore view of the world, we on the right are missing a fundemental weapon the liberals and democrats have known for decades, and we keep getting our faces punched in because we cannot learn to harness this simple but indispensible piece of political artillary: &lt;strong&gt;OUTRAGE.&lt;/strong&gt;

Bill Bennet has lamented it, and Morris wrote a book with that title. But we still don&#039;t know how to effectively express it or use it to our advantage.

Democrat candidates not debating on Fox News - essentially turning their noses up in a snobbish attempt to hide their trembling cowardice at hardball questions - certainly deserves &lt;strong&gt;outrage&lt;/strong&gt;.

And so does this story.

&lt;strong&gt;OUTRAGE&lt;/strong&gt; - When it&#039;s justified, as in the two examples cited here - is tough to ignore.

Make loud and angry noise. Losing by setting polite examples is doing nothing to turn the tide of a country going to hell in a handbasket.

Loud &lt;strong&gt;OUTRAGE&lt;/strong&gt;, please - &lt;strong&gt;NOW.&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>Thanks for the comment brooklyn red but I did feel generous giving the top three candidates the benefit of the doubt about their communist leanings. I will know for sure they are true communists when all three share their mansions to us common folk. Like they did Dr.Zavago. Excuse the spelling. Lastly I bet that all three Demos would love to live in their mansions while we stayed in line for hours buying commodities and returning home to a two room flat.</description>

		<description>the msm loves digging for the proverbial needle in a haystack....this is just like their desperate attempts to find any and all military members who are anti-war and anti-bush. and if they can&#039;t actually find one, they manufacture one instead.</description>

		<description>I for one used to be a democrat when democrats were for America first. Examples are Woodrow Wilson, FDR, HST, JFK, LBJ, Scoop Jackson and many others a generation ago. When the party advocated supporting abortion and other McGovern type legislation I like Reagon felt like the party left me and now I am an arch conservative. Funny thing I never hear of Demo alternatives except that they are for abortion and soon want to embrace Islamic law. They would go communist if they had a chance too, since I don&#039;t hear of any fresh ideas from them. I think LBJ had the last great ones.</description>

I think they would be more interested in your first bong purchase rather than how you vote now. :)</description>

		<description>Well, as a Sr. in high school I first registered (D) &amp; voted mixed. I also bought my first bong.

Since that time I have both grown up and filled out the forms to change my affiliation 3 times, twice to R, &amp; once to I... but the records still have me as D. I guess they got lost in the mail, huh?

So if anyone from MSM wants to interview lifelong Dems please send them my way.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;We have allowed this administration to lie, cheat and break the law, and to break its sacred oath to uphold and defend the Constitution&lt;/blockquote&gt;

How true. The Republican party isn&#039;t really a conservative party anymore. It&#039;s a party of borrow-and-spend liberals, rich people who are too cheap to pay taxes even if it means the country goes down the drain from debt, Reagan Democrats who found a new way of feeding at the public trough--not paying taxes as a substitute for collecting welfare, anti-abortion and Zionist religious fanatics running around in sheep&#039;s clothes calling themselves &quot;social conservatives,&quot; and &quot;neoconservatives,&quot; and corrupt open borders filth like Bush and McCain who have more loyalty to business than to their country. 

Not that the Democrats are any better, mind you.</description>
