Musings from the "far right kook" department . . .

I posed the question earlier on this thread, and I'll re-state it here:

Historically (and for the benefit of those who like to police these threads, this IS on topic) republicans are told (by our friends in the media and our friends in the democrat party) to compromise. Republicans are told to abandon conservative principles, and to "go with the flow."

So they've abandoned their principles on immigration. And they about to abandon them on Zero care.

Our un-elected house geniuses like Rove; and our elected ones like McInsane and Grahamnesty fall all over themselves - doing their best "Stepin Fetchit" imitations - saying "yessir massah" and "whatever you say, massah" to the democrats and the media.

My question: Using this strategy, what have we "won" in the last 5 years? 10 years? 50 years?

Someone? Anyone? It's such a simple question - and yet a profound one. You would think someone would be able to come up with something.

I did answer, Rufus...We may have won nothing. Being a defeatist isn't helping either

But today is what matters. No matter how wonderful Lees idea is, we will lose. We dropped the ball years ago, now all we can do is try to win where we can.

Yeah, it's called "humor." Sometimes, "satire." Or irony.

Don't worry, once you've mastered "Dick and Jane" and "My Weekly Reader", you may be ready to learn about those more advanced concepts.

Or not.

Thanks, Rev.

I think we ARE a two-party country.

I have to agree with Rev, Rufus. You're doing great! Great comebacks.

Cedric proves he's lost the argument every time he comes back with insults (fringe, kook, etc.) instead of answering the questions.

Ad Hominem: attacking the person instead of attacking his argument. Also known as Needling: simply attempting to make the other person angry, without trying to address the argument at hand.

Usually, the best way to cope with insults is to show mild amusement, and remain polite. You've done a superb job at responding to our resident infantile needler!

wo party system, with the conservative right now being dealt a huge blow because the president is a liberal black...period. Oh, and liberals suck.

I know that sounds like a cop out, but that's where we are. The chance to move in another direction was sat out by too many . Therefore the conclusion has to be the majority of the nation wants what we've got, at the moment. Being in the minority doesn't tear at me like it does so many. We'll win the next one, if played right. Liberals are team players, to tread lightly is the way to go at the moment. As a group they will cut off their noses to spite their face.

Offering something different is needed, but doing so with finesse is where you win. Rove isn't always right, or always wrong. I have no idea why Levin and Rove (among others) are so good at pushing peoples buttons. But unfortunately we have to work around some losers who need to be primaried. We can only work with what we've got.

Lees idea isn't embraced by enough of them. Time to get off that horse and tweak it. Small victories are preferable to huge loses.

Congratulations on presenting your viewpoint in a more understandable way than Rove.

I may not agree with it 100 percent, but you do present a strategy.

And when you take away the personalities and other superfluous garbage, our views may not be that far apart.
