re: #242 Dark_Falcon

I am not going to answer that post. i don’t agree much of with its phrasing or assumptions and I’m not going to get anywhere trying to explain my objections.

im sympathetic to the idea that many people think of the republican party as republicans like themselves, old line republicans who voted for eisenhower, rockefeller, nixon, and ford, or bob dole or jack kemp

people have every right to define their own beliefs and not be tarred with the brush dipped in the craziness of other people

from the point of view of people like me, tho, the old republicans i grew up with (back in that other century) are somewhere in the back seat with their mouths closed, maybe taped shut, or maybe they are locked up in the trunk

it’s awfully hard to hear them these days. personally, i wonder when the hell they are gonna start speaking up
