Wow - a LTTE in today's paper from a repub with

[Rabbit of Caerbannog]

an intact brain (intact in a traditional Republican sort of way). Where have all the other reasonable and reasoned republicans like this gone? Although I may dissagree with him in several issues - it must suck to wake up and realize the administration he probably voted for in the last two elections are all scoundals. I sort of feel sorry for him (NOT!)


Current GOP Posture Dismays Republicans

Editor, Times-Dispatch: My concern with Judge Samuel Alito has never been with the man. He is most formidably good for all seasons. My concern is with the select group that brought about his nomination. It talks a mixed message. Its actions and inactions add to the variegate and sinister mixture.

Underneath the message, sort of cloaked by a superior smile, is a concerted effort to change the culture(s) to one that is desired by a very select sector of the country's population: the very rich and powerful people unconcerned with the U.S. as a country, who seek unconditional economic power and some fellow travelers with a very sick and selfish vision of morality.

This vision masquerades as Christian; but if ever a vision is touched with an infernal arrogance that promotes enslavement, this vision has it in spades -- or maybe pitchforks. It has nothing to do with Christian community.

I am a Republican. I am for people doing for themselves whatever they possibly can. The ideal government should be comparatively pea-sized. It should spend accordingly. In no sense should it undertake international objectives that lead to war or entangling alliances. It should not promote international economic optimization. Its allegiance should feature national objectives not the creation of a covert super-economy that penalizes people of the nation in both the short and long term to the advantage of external populations.

I am a Republican who endorses national economic sub-optimization vis-?-vis the balance of the world. I am a Republican who is sick to his stomach over the incompetence, the self-serving arrogance, the ignorance posing as wisdom, the parochial nonsense issued as a rationale for action, and the profligate spending for tin-whistle results that the current "Republican" posture and behavior represent.

1. now if only he can convince more like him

that they need to vote these radicals who are Republican in name only out of office....

[Rabbit of Caerbannog]

3. Yeah - as well as

the so-called "Democrats for Bush*" like members of my family whose heads (or at least the reason lobes of their brains) exploded over Clinton/Lewinski causing them to start listening to Rush and quoting neocon talking points. Oy...

2. wow! He talks funnier than John Kerry...

Why use one word when ten will do?

[Der Blaue Engel]

5. Why read any words when we can just listen to our "glorious leader"?

He has five words, and none have more than three syllables. This thinking stuff has got to go.

:eyes:

6. Hey -

let him vent if it helps him assuage the obvious guilt he's feeling over his complicity :7

4. Sure this isn't a Dem masquerading is a Rep?

There were many multi-syllabic words in the letter. That is something not seen much in Republicans outside of the nefarious writings of the conservative whoremonger George Will.

7. Actually, It Sounds Like A Small "L" Liberterian

Most of them are literate. They are trapped in two dimensional thinking, for the most part, but they are at least not idiots. So, he could be a Repub, just not a radical right, morality police version.
