ORIGINAL: MrRodgers They're just worried she night now switch parties and run as a repub...becoming ever so much more qualified everyday. Can't have that, they have their own brand of hypocrisy and pandering. Pretty off the wall statement. But I'll say now what I've always said. Democrats always get themselves in trouble when they act and vote liberal. Republicans also get themselves in trouble when they act and vote liberal. I think you are on to something. I've always said that liberalism was born and now has elected a black dem lib twice, because of the failures of conservatives. Notice I said 'conservatives' not conservatism. You see I come from a Michigan conservative repub family going way back (ok, not that far back) but one who voted for Geo. Romney for gov. and for whom whose mother actually worked. Soon as the conservative movement added to their strengths of a cold war constituency, the corporatism constituency, they started to lose many voters. Liberals were fed great ammunition and elected LBJ the great whore until he tired of playing ball on Vietnam. Then with Nixon even though the most liberal repub to be elec. pres, his scummery did the trick. So we get Carter, a good man with whipsawed policies and then Reagan...an instant neocon upon being shot. Now we wade through and battle out of the mutually greasy weeds of BI-partisan hypocrisy, corruption, hatred and venality. So, I just come here to give everybody shit. You know, every now and then you and I agree. I held my nose and voted for "W" because I thought Id get two Supreme Court judges from him, and did. I won't vote for President if Jeb is the nominee. After the first 100 days Newt really started to look like s tax and spend liberal and after him, the Republicans lost all credibility nationally. Nixon instituted wage and price freezes and the EPA. There are a lot of people voting who haven't even seen a real conservative. I don't consider myself a Republican because they lost me a long time ago. But, I stay with the party just so I can have a say in what they should do, to whatever little affect that has. As for one in search for anybody but Clinton and Bush, I'd love to see Mark Warner (D VA. sen) vs John Kasich (R-Oh. gov)...that would be a good race and a whole lot more edifying to boot. In fact either winner, we wouldn't lose as neither too far from the center...without pandering. I'd vote for Kasich over Hillary and Warner over Bush. I have my bipartisan fence-sitting down. But Hillary and Jeb leave a sour taste in my mouth, both having too much negative history.
