OT – GOP is being carried to the extreme

[quote=dbapig]
Mr. Cardwell was a USMC Sergeant. So he’s eligible for VA benefits. He’s already part of a big government solution. Instead of being given a chunk of cash and directed to find his own private health insurance for the sake of self-determination, he can go to ANY VA hospital.

I don’t know why he doesn’t mention it?

[/quote]

What benefits is he eligible for? I was in the military and don’t have “VA benefits”. Being ex-military doesn’t mean you have free health coverage.

[quote=felix]Both parties have radical elements. Both parties have those who have those who buy into extreme ideas and conspiratorial theories.

However, there is a difference between the parties with regard to extremism. The Republicans don’t put those types in positions of power. .[/quote]

I’m sorry, Did you forget about Tom DeLay?
The man who extolled the virtues of the Marianas which was engaging in sex slavery and forced abortions as well as peonage?

I’m Sorry, Did you frget about Karl Rove, who embraced Jack Abramoff,
the man who was the agent for the marianas?

IM SORRY. Did you forget about Dick Cheney, Who made sure that
his former company Halliburton was getting Billions in Dollars of war contracts?

IM SORRY!!! Did you forget about George Bush, who said we would
be greeted with Flowers and Candy in Iraq?

IM SORRY!!!! Did you forget about Sarah Palin?
who defines utty evangelical christian, and, was calling the President
a Terrorist?

Dude. the GOP is littered with these whackos. Just try having a coffee
with Tom Coburn or Jim Inhofe sometime.

Too many on the left seem to believe that anybody that doesn’t agree with them is not smart enough to know what is best for this country or even for oneself.[/quote]

Replace the “LEFT” with “RIGHT”. It goes both ways.[/quote]

Perhaps, you’re correct on this but I only see the media portraying one-side as dumb.

The past few elections we have been told the Harvard educated; Clinton, Kerry and Obama were geniuses but Bush, McCain and even going back a ways, Reagan were dummies.

What’s ironic about this is that Bush is the only president we’ve ever had with degrees from both Harvard and Yale. Yet he has been portrayed as a idiot more so than any president in my lifetime.

Personally I don’t know who has the highest IQ nor do I care. One doesn’t have to be a genius to be a good president. One has to be a leader. And one has to surround himself with smart capable folks.

Lastly, there is another difference. Most conservative initiatives have been those of traditional values. They aren’t trying to reshape this country but to preserve our traditions. That usually meant less government intrusion into our lives instead of more.[/quote]

Carter was a Nuclear Engineer. Smart as a whip, just couldn’t step back and
work the big picture.

Clinton was a rhodes scholar.

Kerry was quite bright, he was a polyglot and i’ve seen him speak.

Obama was on Law Review.

Bush Jr was an affirmative action baby. If he didn’t have his family he’d
have been some gas station clerk.

Bush Sr was a sharp guy until he went mental.

Reagan was an amiable dunce.

Ike was super bright, one of the best. Not an academic like his brother,
but a supreme planner, thinker, manager. He’d have run IBM or GE if he
hadn’t run the war.

Nixon was quite sharp, but just wasn’t able to separate the moral
aspects of his job.

LBJ wasn’t bright, but was intensely political and wanted to make a better society.

LBJ, Carter, Clinton, Obama, these were guys who made themselves.

Bush 1 and 2, McCain, These were scions of wealth and privelige.

as for conservative traditional values, where does Invading Iraq
fit in there.
