		<description>Here&#039;s why the GOP will remain in the sewer:

Ideological Elitism and the Demand for Thoroughbreds

Morons like Limbaugh, O&#039;Reilly, Hannity, Coulter and the rest of the conservative cheerleading squad is so busy badmouthing everybody who doesn&#039;t fit into their parochial and puny little notion of what a worthwhile American is are repulsed and vote Left, that&#039;s why.

That and the GOP is seething with religious zealots and hypocrites that make Christopher Hitchens look pious by comparison.

The GOP needs to seriously clean up its act! FoxNews is an embarrassment and it&#039;s directly associated with the political right. Their not doing us any favors.</description>

		<description>Erasmus- re: Terri Shiavo - which individual did you think needed leaving alone? The individual who was starved to death by order of the government even though she had family and friends who were willing and able to take care of her until her natural death? Or the individual who used the the government through the  courts and judges to kill his useless wife so he could marry his new honey and inherit Terri&#039;s money?</description>

		<description>The problem is in the definition of &quot;moderate&quot;. Moderate is a relative term. The moderate of today is a very different animal than the moderate of 30 years ago.
There is nothing &quot;moderate&quot; about  abortion, gay marriage,or amnesty for illegal immigrants. Those are all radical positions. They just seem moderate compared to the leftist lunacy of the current political climate. 
So for the time being, forget the big tent. What we need now is a fortress. The Republicans need to hold the line and protect the Constitution and our civil rights.</description>

		<description>I am a fiscal conservative, but on social issues I am very liberal. I am pro-chioce, the granddaughter of mexican immigrants, and the loving sister of a gay man that I would like to see happily married some day. I am currently without party but I would never join the GOP because no matter what I believe about fiscal responsibility and smart government spending, my opinions about choice, amnesty and the like will never be tolerated. I don&#039;t want to be in a party that is constantly spewing vile derogatory comments at me. That&#039;s why I left the democrats.

I think I am a good representation of younger people that could be attracted to the GOP but won&#039;t join. For example, how can you be against big government and for government control of abortions? How can you be against big governement and for strict government control over marijuana? The government would have to be more powerful and more expensive in order to fulfill either of these goals. If you want a small government you would have to be for individual social liberty because less government leads to less government control over social issues.

Anyways, I think the libertarian party is the current home of the younger and more honest conservatives. Good luck with rebuilding the GOP, but without greater tolerance I think they are sunk.</description>

		<description>#322 Chuck Pelto:
&quot;Try not to get too deep into this S&amp;M business with this poor creature.&quot;

 We draw it&#039;s attentions simply by being what it cannot.

 That&#039;s it&#039;s nature.

 It seeks our essence, but must settle for our scorn and contempt.

 Look at how it treats the females on this board.

 Envious and hateful.

 Deviant and perverted. The twisted little freak leads a hideous tragicomedy it calls a life.

 Takes all kinds, don&#039;t it?</description>

		<description>Rick, you are either high or...well, for your sake, let&#039;s hope you&#039;re just high.

We&#039;ve been listening to the moderates for the last eight years.  And we&#039;ve gained what from it?

Two words:  PRESIDENT OBAMA.

Thanks to moderate strategy, we not only lost our majority in House and Senate, but we have so few seats that we can barely meet filibuster requirements, and that&#039;s only if we can shove Snow, Collins, and the rest of the left-leaning idiots into a broom closet during the important votes.  This has gained us unsecured borders, allowing the Mexican drug wars to spill onto our cities, trillions of dollars in TARP and bail-outs and pork with no oversight and no one with any idea where the money has gone, our military and intelligence folks forced to do their jobs with both hands tied, hobbled, and blindfolded, our debt quadrupled in ObeyMe&#039;s first 100 days and much more promised in days ahead...

Yeah, how&#039;s that moderate strategy working for us?

You know what has been PROVEN to work?  CONSERVATISM.  In EVERY instance it has been allowed to be properly applied, without you moderates and liberals throwing anchors on it, it has worked beyond anyone&#039;s wildest expectations and always to the betterment of our country.

Whereas liberalism and moderate-ism has, when left unchecked, proved an utter disaster, requiring CONSERVATISM to bail your sorry butts out of the fire.  AGAIN.</description>

		<description>#319 Chuck Pelto:
&quot;OOMO admitted to be an obese, twinkie-loving, post-operative trans-sexual, while sheesh has been manifesting a certain degree of ‘position’ suggesting he/she/it has a definite ‘issue’ with sexuality&quot;

 oomo/ooyo/ooever admitted that? Really? I never knew, and frankly never cared.

 Maybe sheesh is the woman that oomo/ooyo/ooever dreamed of being.

 Really, WHOGAS? 
 The blog-slave is still the blog-slave, even with it&#039;s deviant sexuality, it&#039;s unclean acts of public self-pollution, and it&#039;s Elmer Fudd muscle car fantasies.

 For all I know it was probably once sambo hux.

 If past is prologue, it&#039;ll probably get it&#039;s dose of masochistic jollies from the &quot;sheesh&quot;-puppet,then drop it, until after a while, it&#039;s self-destructive tendencies will compel it to assume another retarded screen name and crawl back to we, it&#039;s masters, for yet another round of contempt and abuse.

 Whatever disguise it chooses to wear, you can always count on it to return to it&#039;s special toilet stall at the truck stop.

 It just can&#039;t NOT service that old glory-hole...but for that, it would have no form of physical human contact whatsoever.</description>
