why do you insist on ignoring the fact that the type of Republican I'm talking about is completely in control of their party?

and exactly what do you mean by Senator Byrd being different than the average Republican? Of course he is, he hasn't proposed any police state legislation or compared getting a blowjob to having man on dog sex. You're not going to get much mileage out of trying to use Byrd as a straw man, bro, his record has been pretty good the last 40 years or so and he's no extremist of any stripe, but the fact that you're reaching out so desperately is indicitave of how badly you're trying to win an argument.

I'm not trying to argue. I'm saying that the Republican Party is a great danger to our civil liberties internally and our international status externally. I'm not trying to score points. How do you argue against the fact that Republicans want to teach creationism in schools? How do you defend that? Why would you even want to? How can you not see deadly evil when they parade it in front of your face every chance they get?

I'm not making this shit up. The extremists in the Republican Party OWN the party, therefore they are no longer extremists, they are mainstream Republicans. A Republican vote is a vote for them. This is no shell game, these are dangerous people.

I have no love for Democrats just because they're democrats. I HATE Joe Leibermann and Tipper Gore, but it's not the Democrats who are making a comfortable home for Santorum, Gingrich, Limbaugh, Robertson and every other slimeball who ducked out of Vietnam but wants to send the children of poor people off to a pointless war or who rails about family values and wholesome morality when they're on their third divorce. Hypocrites and chicken hawks. Why would you, a self-professed narcotic using, open minded, non-religious pornographer, want to fight so fiercely for people who would happily see you lined up against a wall and shot like a dog? They HATE you man, just as bad as they hate me. The Republican Party thinks you're filth and they're not afraid to say it publically.

There is a slice off the top of the Republican Party who believes that Repubs will lower their taxes and that's all they allow themselves to think about. They think the Gary Bauers and Pat Robertsons will just go away or the democrats will take care of them or they couldn't possibly mean what they say anyway, but they do bro, they mean every word of it. It's because of the votes of the economic Republicans that the Morality Republicans are so powerful, and they're just about too powerful to get rid of now. What's it going to take to convince you? Kristalnacht in Los Angeles? A Chinese nuke in NY? A nationwide ban on Un-American art and literature? It's going to be too late by then...

This thread has gone on too long for me and if nothing I say has made an impression on you yet it's not going to, so I'm going to give it up. I don't think you're a bad person, I just think you're allowing yourself to be misled when I know that you're intelligent enough to see thru it if you cared to, but I can't penetrate that shell.
