The fact is, IMO, they do NOTHING for anyone but the super rich. All they do for regular americans is provide talking points. I have encountered a couple people recently who, in talking about other things (we weren't discussing politics), mentioned essentially how "democrats are gunna take mah guns away". One was my building manager: an 80 year old man who I had no intention of discusisng politics with. The other was my dad's friend who said "there's too many democrats for me to carry my guns down the street". You have to give the R's credit. They are able to hide an anti-middle class agenda behind hot button issues. I just wish more people would call them out on it, like . . . I don't know . . . middle class Republicans. As a corollary to your experiences, I have a buddy who works in the oil fields in Alaska. He had quite a few co-workers that, once Obama was elected, dug a hole in their back yard, lined it with plastic, filled it with motor oil and all the guns they could do without for 4 years, and then buried the whole thing. They were completely convinced that Obama secret agents were going to go house to house and confiscate fire arms. I don't know if I should call these paranoid delusions or one of the best marketing campaigns in history.

If you aren't a rich white christian, the current republican party isn't for you.
A super rich, ultra christian. A christian that wants a theocracy. A millionaire christian. The only people like that are.....DING DING DING! The politicians. Oh, and the CEO's that they coddle. Now, I'm not saying ALL of the current conservative crop are like this. Especially given what Huntsman has said. However, the ones who are the loudest, the ones who will be running shit in the unlikely event they gain control, are the ones that are in question."Why don't you call upon your God to strike me? Oh, I forgot it's because he's fake like Thor, so bite me" -Greydon Square

New report says my POV has credibility: Bush should have turned left of Palestine as 9/11 response. Humanity is paying the price of America's so called allies and national interests, and no doubt the victims are turning in their graves:

Quoting the most repugnant hate-mongering shit-sheet published in the UK is not going to give your POV any credibility.

OK, so you tell us why Saudi Arabia and Egypt were not in the loop of Bush's target zone post 9/11. I'm listening.

Maybe because neither Nation had anything to do with 9-11.
Of course neither did Iraq and Afghanistan but that's a given.

How's about you get the fuck ON TOPIC. Every single topic you enter, you attempt to derail.

... I thought it was more appropriate to post this here:

Huntsman is interesting, but (imho) will never be selected by the majority fanatic fringe, and thus will not be picked.

You mean, maybe there is no Islamic Brotherhood financed by the Saudi regime and Al Qaida is a far removed entity from 9/11? Is that your view?

How about getting back to The Awesome Republican Primary Thread? It seems some don't like bad questions. Even when a report which evidenced a claim is posted!

You could start by answering the very direct question i posed to you upthread. That would be a start for you to get on topic. I know it's hard, but you can try.

Too funny.
The Muslim Brotherhood is not Al Qaeda and Al Qaeda is not a Nation State. You seem to love posting irrelevant misrepresentations don't you?

Never mind the media - I posed about a novel by scholars. Who's not reading?
The issue of bad US response per 9/11 has nthing to do with Repubs or Dems - its more an American policy error of its percieved allies and national interests. The post-9/11 history affirms this nicely.

You directly quoted the media - so let's ignore the media you posted (as you advise) and we are left with....nothing.By your own suggestion: you posted nothing. Which is a little more than you have read.Or are you claiming that you have read the novel? OFF TOPIC AdminPD Edited by Panda, : No reason given.
