Bru, if the above doesn't alarm you, you are beyond hope. Don't you see how far gone you are?

You obviously cared enough to research the group...I didn't.

Okay. Again...

If this group is a few Dems disenfranchised with their party, I'm interested to see what the many disenfranchised Republicans might do to protest theirs.

Research is my life.

Sorry, but I don't want to go undercover with the group to seewhat their numbers are. How many Republicans feel disenfranchised? McCain is lying his ass off about being a Conservative, and I'm sure there are plenty of dupes who believe him. There might be some Ron Paul protestors, but they're more Libertarians than Republicans. And Vets Against McCain might be there, but hey... they're just a bunch of scheming Democrats according to many on this site, lol

Kinda explains why lefties are full of shiat!


I can see some police captain using a bullhorn "Hold your fire! They're all full of shiat, and the cleanup crew from the zoo with the bulldozer isn't here yet!"

You see, there was a time when I would read Kerad's remarks and see nothing but the ravings of a goofus who was just talking out his ass all the time and being contrary just for the sake of being contrary. But now I've realized that just because I see things a certain way doesn't mean that that's how everyone sees them.

There was a time when I would blindly defend everything Republicans did, and just as blindly attack everything Democrats did. But I've had my eyes opened this election. Since until just recently I didn't care who won because neither side offered a decent candidate, and I was able to make a more open assessment of what I saw happening on both sides. I saw the typical anti-Bush attacks, but I also saw Republicans making all sorts of unsubstantiated attacks on Democrats, attacking Dems on their religion, blindly accepting the words of the Clintons, etc., and I learned that maybe my belief that Republicans/Conservatives are better than Democrats was wrong. Turns out they are mostly the same given the right circumstances.

So it doesn't bother me that Kerad and I are thinking along the same lines. I would guess he and I, and you, probably agree on about 90% of things, so why should I automatically beat him up on every point he makes? If he, or anyone else, makes a good point, I think it's a good point. If you guys want to act infintile and keep blindly attacking everyone who disagrees with you, and call them names, and accuse them of this or that, go ahead. It makes you less of a person... not me.
