TomCat,
It was a dirty job, but it had to be done.

Hi Dave, that's a humongous rant, but dead on.

I'm rushing through to let you know that I have moved Politics Plus to http://www.politicsplus.org/blog

I have you in the blogroll there. Would you update me in yours?

So it was the Big Bad Corporate Media that stole the 2008 election? Hmmm, I thought ACORN did that. I wish the Righties would get their memes straight.

Rightwing cultists listening to jazz? LOL. It's too inventive, too intricate.

Rightwing nutjobs like both kinds of music: country AND western.

JR,
I think you nailed it on Joe. The "I used to be one..." line is never explained; just a little ploy to make us believe they were "rational" to drink the kool-ade.

Having said that, I used to be a little militaristic/wanna/be/a/Marine pinhead. But then I was a young rebellious kid trying to be different from my jazz musician/teacher father; until my older brother went to Vietnam and I read "1984".

I learned to love jazz, too. Ever notice how few, if any, Cultists listen to jazz? I think they hate it for its freedom...or is it the racial diversity?

Joe is lying, and it's a fairly common meme that the right wing try to use as a way of introducing their talking points. "I was a Democrat right up till (insert Rushpubliscum talking point here.)"

It fools no one.

libhom,
Yes, and the New York Times and Washington Post were, and still are, cheerleaders for Neocon wars.

Kulkuri,
To paraphrase a line from the corporate war on drugs, "This is NOT your father's Republican Party."

At times I get depressed thinking about how many of my relatives and friends are drinking the Neo-Con Kool-Aid. The best I can figure is they are being played with a mixture of religion(abortion), taxes, and guns. These are fairly intelligent people, at least as intelligent as me, yet they still willing drink the Kool-Aid.

Goldwater was a true conservative but very few of those that call themselves conservatives these day really are conservatives. If Goldwater were to see his party now he wouldn't recognize it. There were many things I could agree with Goldwater, but there is nothing the Neo-Cons do or say that I agree with. Even if they say something that I would ordinarily agree with, I don't trust them to follow through on it, at least where it applies to me and those like me!!

The irony is that MSNBC is a rightist propaganda tool at least 15 hours a day.
