Re: The 2010 Republicans
Well, the "Left" (who is that referring to, anyways?) never had a supermajority. The Democrats did, but they were dependant on right-wing Democrats to maintain that. As seen during the health care reform debate, the right-wing ones refused to side with the other Democrats, forcing them to water down the bills.
And Pawlenty isn't running for anything...
"It is divisive and disrespectful to build a mosque next to the site where 3,000 innocent people were murdered at the hands of Islamic extremism," Rubio said in a statement Saturday.

That's ignorant. He is comparing moderate Muslims with extremist Muslims and ignoring the fact that there is already a mosque close and they already pray in the Pentagon. Just stupid.
He suggested maybe we should suspend Congress for two years.

"I am pro-life. As a state legislator, I supported various pieces of pro-life legislation that, among other things, would require doctors to perform ultrasounds before performing abortions and another bill that would ban the use of taxpayer dollars to fund stem cell research."

He wants to force women who try to get an abortion to view an ultrasound. That is both sick and crazy.
He flips when it is convienent for him.

"If you agree with Susan Collins or Olympia Snowe on some of these issues, you might as well become a Democrat,'' said former Florida House Speaker Marco Rubio

Apparently, he doesn't believe there is any room for moderates in the Republican party.
I was talking in the context of the people Red listed. Those people he listed will not change the dynamic. All of them are fighting for Republican seats except for Angle, who looks like she is going to lose.

Re: The 2010 Republicans
In other words if their political beliefs are different from yours they must be crazy.
Ignorance? Sensitivity. His comments seem pretty straight forward, all he wants is a little sensitivity towards a difficult thought for many. Numerous examples of sensitive subjects come to mind. You wouldnt wear a black trench coat to columbine high school, it just touches the wrong nerves.
I think sarcasm comes to mind. But sometimes you need to leave things alone and see how they work before tweaking them. Working on a car comes to mind, you dont change transmission, the timing, the rear end gears and see what happens. You change one test it out and then when it works properly you change the next part.
I think it is sick and crazy to kill a human fetus. Some of the proposed deterrents dont make much sense, but killing doesnt make sense either. Womans body, rights, and the works, it doesnt matter, some things in life are above what man can legislate. Research is important, and if done with good ethics, I see no problem with.
Flipping, no, just walking the bs political tight rope of being "friends" with everyone.
Personally I dont like the guy. I watched an interview on nightline or something and he just smells like a politician. I dont think he is crazy, just the typical play the cards to get the votes politician. All his answers made me think he's not real, but then again I feel that way about a lot of politicians. I would like to see representatives that work real jobs, have worked their way up and know how to manage a company. Most politicians I see go to school and get this elite state of mind, go into local politics, then state and then federal. They see progression in life as a bigger and better office.
My boss is 75 years old and has learned everything the hard way. He has done a lot in his life and worked for everything he has and then some. He lives off the land and works to give back, his legacy in sustainable building will go on for generations. The work he does now is not for himself but for the future. That is the kind of person I want to vote for, one that is not in it for themselves, but in it for the greater good of the future, not just in the US but the world. We need representatives that are not looking for fame or fortune. We need more of the nameless ones that dont sell out to party politics or big corporations.

Re: The 2010 Republicans
Well shoot, then Obama's crazy...because he's said things that I disagree with. You're crazy too, for the same reason.

[QUOTE=flame;1318108 I would rather they all forget the D and R or L or T, and give the people what they want/need. I think we would all be happier and less divided.[/QUOTE]
Murkowski did that, brought almost 6 dollars to citizens of Alaska for ever 1 dollar they spent in taxes. Except Alaska decided they want the "Far Right Endorsed" candidate instead.

Re: The 2010 Republicans
I want them to write legislation the people can understand, legislation that is straight with out loopholes for people to get around. If reading legislation requires such high education so that an experienced adult cant understand it then its bs. Look at the constitution, simple, easy for the people to understand. Govt is for the people by the people, not a group of elite harvard graduates.
