Arnold: GOP out of touch

[chri'stina 190]

Are you all lumping every single Republican together under one loser-ish view? I don't know why I am asking, because that IS what most of you are doing.

Well when it comes to VJ, yea pretty much. Look at the views of the Republicans here & you will see most are far right. I say throw all of the extremists in a room & let them tear each other apart. The group left standing (the moderates) will then work together to fix the mess we're in.

Of the Republicans who post the most in political topics, maybe. And then there are the far left wing people too.

Funny how selectivity comes into play when mentioning the Constitution and its intent. If we seek Mr. Madison's advice on the government spending its people's money, we can look at his defense of the constitutional system being devised at the State Conventions- specially his responses to a certain Mr. Patrick Henry.

I did find this snippet that is of interest.

Doesn't bring up exactly the wording we are looking for, but it does mention some key, fundamental aspects about the roles of government and of the intent of commonality as a nation of constituents.

No kidding. There's an ability to extract the wisdom in what has been said in the past while disregarding the ignorance or short-sightedness from the same source. Unless someone has the ability to start digging up the Founding Fathers so they can tell us how they really feel, we need to apply reason and discernment when interpreting what they have written.

I wish to clone Thomas J.

While you're at it, HAL, can you clone me Martha Washington? I heard she was a real firecracker.

How about Martha Washington AND a firecracker?

I am curious what constitutes far left wing to a typical moderate right winger. Hmmm... Because I am sure even some moderate right wingers must seem like far left wingers to some far right wingers.

Extremist goes both ways.... it seems the OP himself is an extremist (which is okay), but I just wonder why one extremist can't understand another extremist from the other side. I don't hate Nancy Pelosi even though she is an extremist. We need people both far right and far left, not one or the other, to keep us going down the center.

When the Republicans had both houses of Congress and the Presidency..... lots of people were saying the same thing about Democrats.... they've their way, etc., etc. Power corrupts, the Republicans will be back, because seldom can one party not take advantage of their power so the voters will act. It is just a matter of time.

I actually understood that.

Stina, Stina, Stina, surely you realize that though far right wingers are very real, far left wingers are like unicorns or mermaids. Lots of legends about them, but only nutcases actually believe they exist

[HAL 9000 96]

So Scott, Scott, Scott... please enlighten us as to what constitutes someone on the far left fringe. I have a pretty good idea... and I think you do too.

LOL....being opinionated doesn't equate to extremism. I'm far from being ideologue. Although I hold strongly to some ideals, I'm quite comfortable with thinking outside the box when a problem persists to which no viable solution has remedied.

LOL... strongly opinionated people are the most likely extremists. And ....... Although I hold strongly to some ideals, I'm quite comfortable with thinking I have no f*cking clue when a problem persists to which no viable solution has remedied.

Hopefully Meg Whitman will replace Arnold in 2010.
