to ever make it in the political wire, but it's always nice to see someone speak the truth:


"The Republican Party has been hijacked by the religious fanatics that, in my opinion, aren?t a whole lot different than Osama bin Laden and a lot of the other religious nuts around the world."

-- Ohio U.S. Senate candidate Paul Hackett (D), quoted in the Columbus Dispatch.

Since when did a Democrat (or republican) slinging mud become the honest approach? Let's be fair here.

Dawgball,

I really don't see it as slinging mud since I think the guy is telling the truth. Just as the Dem's have been taken over by far out wack jobs like Soro's, the Republican party has been hijacked by far right religious wacko's! Both parties have sold their souls for the big bucks and they do not care where it comes from just as long as they get it and they will promise to promote any agenda no matter how it harms the average person. I actually find guys like Hackett to be quite refreshing since he doent mince words and speaks from his heart. One thing you have to remember about this guy is that he did two tours in Iraq and when he came home and ran for Congress the same wacko lady that attacked Murtha with lies tore Hackett's service to his country down and tried to belittle his patriotism.

Out of curiousity which religious fanatics would Hackett or yourself consider is leading this party?

And while on topic give us some points areas "religious fanatics"
would be detrimental anyone--

Then since most religions go by the 10 commanments--share with us which ones you think are detrimental to society?

Freeze,
If a mentally ill person like yourself is an example of a Christian Conservative and all have the hate that you have in your heart then I rest my case.

MC -- It would have been a little less like mud slinging if he would have been also "speaking the truth" and pointing out the deficiencies in his own party. Without that, it's simply another politician blaming the other side.

I do have respect for the guy for serving his country, but this comment is just another snippit of political garbage.

"the bunker"
more political flotsam and jetsam...

i saw on news last night a community in california(arcata?)where some civic leader of some kind said "The best way to end terrorism is to stop practicing it here.".....

then i read this..." Bin Laden is running for California's ninth district seat. And he is ahead in the latest n.y.t. polls."

"and you know what i`m talkin` `bout".....(weezy and hillary)....

Just being honest here...I personally can't stand the way Moveon.org has seemingly taken over as the beacon of communication for the democratic party. I can see why conservatives lambaste us for the way they so aggressively and continually beat any horse they can for their "cause."

I'm all for political ideology, organization to affect cause, and aggressively standing up for a way of thinking, but I think they turn off at least as many people as they turn on in respect to democratic theology. I get several e-mails a week from them, it really strikes me as overkill in many cases.

We all have to try to get back to reality somehow...not sure of the way, myself. I get as one-sided and worked up as the next guy.

I guess I blame Bush for all of this... :tongue

I completely agree, Chadman (which may be a first). both sides have thier version of Moveon, but I just think the Democratic party (or at least people who are left leaning) put more weight in what they say. I could be completely wrong on this, though.

I know very few people who actually believe what the likes of Rush Limbaugh says.

And instead of Bush, i blame djv. :burnout

I don't know where he's been, but it was amazing how I would let his opinions on things make my blood boil. Out of all the offensive people on this site (which djv is not offensive), I'm not sure why I've always let his posts burn me up so bad.
