Hardly

You cited him pal. I will take this as an admission that there is no straw you will not grasp to support your "arguments".

Ah, so he's not a Democrat leader.

A Democratic leader? Of course not. He is an elderly gentleman who should have retired 20 years ago.

Even if Byrd was the lion of the party, it does not make him "my guy". Fienstien is a party leader and one of my Senators, but I do not feel she speaks for me. I will leave the marching in lockstep to you Skippy.

Now that you have stated your view on party leadership it is clear that McCain is "your guy" :)

As opposed to what went down with Clinton.
And no, I'm not talking about Monica.

What does your Clinton obsession have to do with the subject at hand. Sounds like an admission that your argument about the GOP Senate & Nixon is nonsense.

The reality is that in one party, no all party members are going to be on the same page-they have their list of wants and they want their wants to come first when it comes to what politicians do.

It doesn't take much more analysis than this, really. These are inherent problems with big tent parties. Right now, the Republican coalition is smaller and more homogeneous than the Democratic one, so the latter is harder to maintain.

Yes. When it became clear Nixon was done, the GOP in the Senate turned on him

I live in California, Byrd is definitely not my guy.

Ah, so he's not a Democrat leader.
Got it.

Apparently you trust him though, duly noted.

Hardly. But I trust Democrats to agree with him, blindly. Always assuming of course they're not feeling kinda trapped by his assocaition with the party.

Perhaps you'll recall the Republicans in the Senate, and their reaction to Nixon?

He's your guy, Anjin. If you don't trust him, what remains?

I live in California, Byrd is definitely not my guy.

Sticking with your policy of "rhetoric over reality" I see...

Apparently you trust him though, duly noted.

Bit, I have lived thru, and observed, the last 30 yrs. Has ANY Republican ever had the BALLS to stand up to a Republican Admin?

Apparently, you were fairly isolated through the period...

Perhaps you'll recall the Republicans in the Senate, and their reaction to Nixon?

And how many times did McCain buck Bush? Seems to me the left celebrated when that happened, and the press made lots of noise about it. Funny you don't remember. there's lots more of course but that oughta give you enough to start you into denial.

WHY did the CONSERVATIVES under BUSH spend like there’s no tomorrow and wreck the economy,

The point you're not grasping is they were not conservatives. As with Bush, they were at best moderates.

Suddenly the GOP CNBC pundits are feigning worry about the middle class?, blue collar workers? UNIONS? They certainly have been the enemies of the middle class since Reagan, as the middle class is disappearing before our eyes, and the poverty classes growing faster than ever under CONservative failed ideologies! Industrial production is plunging, and partly due to CONservative corporations fleeing the USA to build factories where they can pollute unrestrained. These corporations under a common sense government should never be allowed to do business in or with the United States ever again! The current lame efforts diluted by the GOP have only allowed pollution to increase. The answer to industrial production and corporations is clean up your act, here and abroad, to continue doing business in the United States.

He's your guy, Anjin. If you don't trust him, what remains?

This is OBVIOUSLY true. And he lied about reaching the North Pole too, so how can we ever trust another Democrat?

So now you are citing BYRD as an credible source? Really bit, you should do comedy...

Perhaps the perceived prevalence of power grabbing being greater amongst liberals, has something to do with their regarding the constitution as a "living document" .

After the last 8 yrs??? Bit you crack me up.

Did you notice Byrd, the other day? Even HE admits it, now. You still can't bring yourself to do that.

Bit, I have lived thru, and observed, the last 30 yrs. Has ANY Republican ever had the BALLS to stand up to a Republican Admin? (Nixon went way over the line... funny, you don't seem to have the same problems with "W") Bit, you are a hack, willing to go along with whatever the "politically correct conservative wisdom" of the moment is.

As JM said:

I have no problem believing the lines are there. I also agree that it is the same problem the GOP and any political party is going to have.

The reality is that in one party, no(t) all party members are going to be on the same page-they have their list of wants and they want their wants to come first when it comes to what politicians do.

But you can't say that, can you?

You know the difference between Steve Verdon and you Bit? He hates all the politicians, you only hate half of them.... even after the ones you love have been spoon feeding you a dry f'n up the a** for the past 8 yrs...

Did you notice Byrd, the other day?

So now you are citing BYRD as an credible source? Really bit, you should do comedy...

The Democratic Party is a set of different groups united in their love of government spending and increasing government power. They can always pay each other off.

Well bitsy, no one doubts that thats the way YOU perceive it.

Did you notice Byrd, the other day? Even HE admits it, now. You still can't bring yourself to do that.

I'm not a member of any organized political party, I'm a Democrat!

Well bitsy, no one doubts that thats the way YOU perceive it. But then you are the guy who thinks anything Michelle Malkin says is a FACT.
