		<description>I would have gone to all the &quot;special interest debates&quot; with the same line:

&quot;I want to be the president of all Americans.  If you are an American, I&#039;ll be your president.  I will be working hard to do what I believe is best for ALL Americans.  If this runs afoul of the desires of one specific segment of Americans who believe that the issues that are important to them are different than issues important to ALL Americans, I just can&#039;t help that.&quot;

I much prefer if I&#039;m going to offend someone, I do it actively, not passively. :)

		<description>Some of Herbert&#039;s claims are a bit much, but the eye-opener was just what a scumbag Reagan was.

		<description>Why do you have to keep quoting ancient history to try to point to the &quot;black support&quot; of the GOP? I think one of your own points it out the best. As Captain Ed points out, the passing from office of the last black GOP house member, J.C. Watts, has hardly been noted and no serious effort has been made to replace him.

		<description>It&#039;s so amazing that in addition to being traitors, Libs are such hypocrites.

Funny how people (Libs) that supposedly espouse such free-thinking and open-mindedness are just the opposite, unless you agree with them.

But you can&#039;t be rational with irrational people.

I don&#039;t care too much for Michael Savage, but I think he&#039;s absolutely correct when he says &quot;Liberalism is a mental disorder&quot;.

		<description>What an idiotic argument.  So basically your saying that the Republican party was the party of freedom and desegregation and that party was the party the racist democrats chose to go to when civil right movement started....wtf!

Why in the world would racists go to a party that had been the exact opposite of what they believed in for 150 years?

Wow....

Perhaps KOS would be better suited for someone with so few braincells.

		<description>Just who do you think you are kidding? Do you think your readers are so stupid as to not understand that the MODERN Republican party is built on the foundation of the Southern Democrats who left the Democratic party, starting in the sixties, because the Democrats embraced civil rights?

Everyone, I presume, knows perfectly well that the Democratic party was the party of Southern segregation, and the Republicans were the party of Lincoln. Until the Dems embraced civil rights, and the southern whites moved to the GOP.

This is just so mind-numbingly dishonest of you.

But maybe you can find some study from the American Enterprise Institute that could argue that somehow up is down, or black is white. They pretty good at that...
