Texas Democrat switches to Republican party

[MikeH]

Man leaves right wing extremist party to join religious right wing extremist party.

Maybe its because we're not as cramped in large cities, maybe its because we don't have such a large number of immigrants

A large portion of CA is not cramped in large cities. Though the Immiration issue is sound. CA needs to crack down on it as Texas and Arizona has, but we have too many liberal commies to bother. Besides, we let whoever wants to vote...

As for a Dem becoming a Repub.? What does it matter? Even the Republicans are becoming to liberal for me.

Simply proof that Bush and Roves attempts to move to the center are bearing fruit. Be prepared during the next year to see moreattempts by Repubs to move even further left in order to woo what otherwise would be considered solidly Dem factions.

Of course we can surely expect Repubs to change back the to small government party line after Novemeber. NOT!

I doubt it is. Repugs are massive pork barrelers. Before the Repugs took control of Congerss in '94, the average Dumbocrat distract recieved $35 million more in Federal prok than the average Repug district. Since the Repug take over, Repug districts now recieve $612 million more in Federal pork than Dumbocrat districts.

Do you have any better way to talk about Republicans and Democrats without throwing around hateful slurs?

It's an accurate description.

No it isn't -- you just have a rabid hatred for anyone who is not a commie.

No, I have a raid hatred for lies and corruption and cowardice.

Same here -- but you can't lump all Republicans with the bad Republicans and you can't lump all Democrats with the bad Democrats.

But if deragatory stereotyping of an entire group of people based on the actions of some individuals is your thing, then there's no stopping you.

[Ogie Oglethorpe]

I fully support Che's freedom of expression. If only to further incriminate the communist effort.

I don't. I refer to Democrats and Republicans with integrety as such. They are, however, few and far between.

[MrFun]

whatever

It's not my fault if you put faith in in corrupt corporate whores. It is the unpleasant burdern of power to suffer the attentions of gadflies. Oh, poor, poor them. I'm sure they're crying all the way to their banks in the Caymans because I call them Repugs and Dumbs.

[MrFun]

Get on the individuals' cases who have been particularly corrupt or deceiving.

Just as we shouldn't throw slurs against all whites because some whites are racist, don't throw slurs against entire political groups because some of their leaders are hypocritical and/or corrupt.

I'm not saying that you are hurting those in high power, their feelings -- I'm saying that I resent being associated through your slur. I'm a Democrat -- not a Dumbocrat.

[Ogie Oglethorpe]

Fun,

See thats the whole problem. You are a Democrat. That is your identity.

Folks don't look at issues but instead get their panties in a bunch anytime their identity/party is attacked.

I don't think any less of Che because he is a commie. Don't think I could. j/k

I'm only offended because I have yet to get one of them fancy off shore accounts... Yet, one day I will not be so offended So, call me a Repug, I don't care.$$$
