I'm sure my ignore rating is about to go up too!!

I agree with Widge and Eluea.

But that doesn't matter for this interim election.

I've had lengthy private discussions with some on this forum about what that means as a Catholic who does walk the talk.

We've seen one really good example of trying to sort out the problem that faces us fiscally. The TARP bill and the movement started by Gen and Steph called the Tea-party movement that happenned during the Presidential election that McCain lost because he's a douchebag in the pocket of WS and didn't listen to the warnings he was given. And they came directly from the founder of this forum at his own cost. Those republicans could give a shit about the conservative base, let alone fiscal conservatism. They are bought and paid for.

I voted for McCain for one reason: the Supreme Court and abortion. From my POV it's an abomination as bad as the holocaust and financially as a nation we are paying for it now. But that issue is done, for now. I can't change that.

When Gen and Pika founded the Tea-Party movement the congressional phone banks were SHUT DOWN b/c of the calls. TARP failed the first time b/c of it.

We need to focus now on that, all of us. We have no debate about who is hating who or trying to impose this or that dogma on the other unless we get the fiscal thing worked out. Period.

Local polls favor the throw them out for November so far. So we all need to focus. Left or right.

But I will say this. If the meme becomes fiscal issues are the only issues that matter and YOU the ignorant Christian who showed up on 9/12 last year and for the Beck rally this year becomes a meme El is right. The right will walk away just like they did with McCain.

These interim elections are not a test of the right, IMHO, but how the left can tolerate unity with them, if they can.
