I hope this is what the Republican party returns too. Too bad the term applied to people like this is something akin to 'hick' in lefty circles.
not this lefty.

Amazing what eight years will do to a party and a country. IMO, it's time for an overhaul and a housecleaning...and perhaps a third party. Yes, they can. The times they are achangin'.![]()

One thing mccain/palin could do is stop using songs of artists without permission at their rally's. I believe it is considered theft of intellectual property.
To clarify, in the limo/university/penthouse lefty circles.not this lefty.

I have heard similar unkind names for such people in sheltered righty circles -- more than once.
You know, I've had just about enough of you and your sick, over the top humor and other rancor. For your information, I was damn near one of those "prisoners" and do not take kindly to ANY humorous reference to "prisoners" held by the Vietnamese, Germans or Japanese. Where do you come from, anyway? Hardcore vandalism? Is that what you call trying to bomb the Pentagon and Capitol? Is this considered a personal attack? You bet! If you can't be civil about ANYONE's service to their country then I can certainly tell you how I feel about your useless posts. What's this about how many planes McCain destroyed? What did you mean, anyway. A lot of us lost planes in Vietnam and still regret it to this day and, yes, I was one of those. I'll close by saying this. Please make your posts civil and I will not find it necessary to respond in this manner. I don't believe in the "ignore" button as I've said previously, but if anyone ever did deserve it, it is you, Lucifer Sam. Your screen name is very apropo.

Presley, Palin and the Heartland
By ROGER COHEN
Published: October 16, 2008
BRANSON, Mo.
I never imagined that a Republican mayor from Bible-belt Missouri would revive my faith in American democracy, but Raeanne Presley did just that. ..........................
............... I came to Branson and its mayor with my liberal prejudices and was disarmed. Presley reminded me of my ex-mother-in-law, another brisk, pragmatic, funny, no-nonsense Republican Midwesterner with little tolerance for debt, delinquency, dumbness or dereliction of duty. She also reminded me of a great American virtue: getting on with it.
And it dawned on me that Palin, with her vile near-accusations of treason against Barack Obama, her cloying doggone hymns to small-town U.S.A., her with-us-or-against-us refrain, is really an impostor.
She’s the representative of a kind of last-gasp Republicanism, of an exhausted party, whose proud fiscal conservatism and patriotism have given away to scurrilous fear-mongering and ideological confusion.
It’s a party in need of a break from power after the Bush years in order to re-learn what Presley represents: the can-do, down-to-earth, honest, industrious, spend-what-you-earn civility of the heartland. That civility has been usurped into Palin’s trash talk.
