Republican,Conservative,Honorable,Ethical just really are words. Every since this Nation accepted Bush/Chaney to represent this nation, Integrity,Ethics,Honesty,Truth,Value Judgement,Accountability,Patriotism have all ironically become meaningless babblings.

Now we see Republican = Repugnant, “wolves in sheeps clothing”

Wait a minute. Treading in the waters of the other party was a Democratic idea floated when the CW (as hammered home by the MSM) was that Republicans were unhappy with their candidates and the Dems were elated with their candidates. They even had POLLS to prove (think Dan Rather ‘proof’) it. Never mind that the Republicans who chose ‘none of the above’ were about the same % that chose Al Gore (about as ‘none of the above’ as you can get - if he couldn’t put it in from the two inch line the party’s going to let him try from the 3?) from the Dems. Then fate intervened, the roles were reversed and we get in your comments pouting and moaning. My 9 year old has a better understanding of irony then the Dems, if the comments here can be extrapolated to the larger population of Dems.

It appears that this method was already used against the Republicans. How else do you explain McCain?

I guess it’s politics and it’s a nasty game.

One comment from me - a foreigner: John McCane, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are all thoughtful intelligent people with a deep commitment to the United States and it’s people.

I have no doubt they would all make good Presidents, and am 100% certain they will be better than the present incumbent who sadly, wasn’t up to the job and should never have got the nomination in the first place.

i just shrug my sholders and figure that you expect nothing less from the republican party, who has shown time and time again to be more interested in their own power than the good of the republic.

Tom Grey,

I challenge you to give a proper definition of the term “Liberal Fascist.”

The cross-over voting shenanigans do make a good case for closed primaries, and I suspect that both the Republican and Democratic parties will hold more of them in the next election.

A closed primary doesn’t prevent someone from changing their party affiliation in order to vote for the opposite party’s weaker candidate, of course, but the extra step of having to formally update your voter registration does cut down on it.

In the interest of full disclosure, my spouse is an Obama supporter and deliberately switched from Independent to Democratic specifically to vote FOR him in the PA Democratic primary. However, I also know several Republicans who did the same thing because they’re tired of the same old, same old on the Republican side and can’t stand Hillary Clinton.

Too bad repubs don’t have a candidate of their own to believe in, so they wouldn’t have to do such things for cheap, ultimately fruitless thrills.

Has Dubya really brought you to this ?

“He would be a much easier general election target for McCain who will be seen as a paragon of virtue next to Obama.”

Unfortunately, there really isn’t much of a story to the Rezko/Obama thing. Rezko might be crooked, but Obama isn’t automatically guilty by association. And if you really do want to go there, then I have two words for you: Keating Five.

How humorous that lower-case ed cracks-wise over my perceived youth, when this site is obviously monitored by a gang of retarded toddlers.

You republic operatives make me giggle.

Keep doing what you do so well.

Even someone who agrees with you thinks you’re a juvenile. And the site may be “monitored” by a “gang of retarded toddlers” - you prove that point perfectly since you are one of the monitors - but I can tell you that I’m the only one who writes here.

Do you know what “monitor” means? Maybe you’ll get to that word next year when you enter the 5th grade.
