by the way, why did you leave dc? nixon?

Would pouring a lot of ad money into the state…perhaps his Spanish language ad…too much?

Do you think that Obama should intentionally lose Arizona?

I really don’t see your point that “appearing” in Arizona will be the ultimate humiliation and prevent Obama from reaching out to McCain after the election? Do you think that McCain is so immature that he can’t separate a political defeat from his role as Senator? Doesn’t a good politician look at the mood in his State and try to adapt in order to serve ones constituency? Why would McCain want to screw over his constituents?

And I don’t see the Republicans in the South having any sympathy for Obama because he backs off Arizona. They will see it as a sign of weakness, a flaw in his character. They will consider it humiliating enough that he’s campaigning in Georgia and North Carolina. That he visited Selma, Mississippi. That he went to Missouri and Omaha, Nebraska. That he’s even deigning to compete in Montana. And would you consider it just as offensive if he sent either Clinton, or Biden, or Michelle Obama there to support the campaign?

I’d feel sad if you decided to vote for McCain-Palin if Obama decided to hold a rally in Phoenix or Tucson, but if that’s your criteria for supporting him rather than his policy positions…and that you’d give your vote to the far nastier campaigners in this race…well then so be it. I think Obama will be weighing what it means to a far greater constituency in Arizona (or Georgia, North Carolina, Florida, etc.).

I personally believe that the repuglitard party must be destroyed before conservatives are allowed to again participate in national government in any meaningful way

some stains cannot be washed away

the repuglitard party is a stain we cannot wash away

at least we should stop havin go to listen to this shit …

it’s time for the repuglitard party to die”

my holy sweet jeepers, dude.

please. i beg of you take a long look at what you just wrote there. does it not remind you of ANYTHING???
substitute anything in there for ‘republitard’, and i mean anything: go ahead, try it. let’s make a list. try liberal. or commie. or arab. or muslim. or hippy or pinko. or spic or gook or nigger or nigger-lover!

it’s not your enemy or who you hate, dude, it’s the HATE!!

look at you! look at this! look at us!! what is happening here????

i fled (actually, i was banished because i dared to dissent from the sort of language that is suddenly appearing here now) from contributing to a blog a while back, and have occasionally checked in to see where it’s gone. oh god, it’s ugly. it’s foul. it’s beyond nasty and mean and hateful and despicable.

you betcha, slippery slope, that.

so i ask you again, WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE??? i have felt at home at this blog because everyone is so damn smart and educated and devoted and CIVILIZED!!! we could discuss the details because there was no distraction with the nastiness and venom and vitriol.

but now it’s rearing its very ugly head and it’s from within, and you have the unmitigated temerity to actually attack leftdc for suggesting a TEMPERED consideration?? is that quality not what seems to be gaining obama so much traction???

EW, HELP??!! we need a class monitor or something. a grownup, anyways.

and it was not even about being clear. you ignored my points, which you need to address in order for your position to be at all compelling, or even persuasive.

go ahead; give it a shot. i have no doubt you are up to it.
