Cox, who I respected as an AG and thought had a sharp legal mind, has been portraying himself as a huge opponent of health care reform. There is no way I am going to vote for either of them.steveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08862590608695420004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14594994.post-67473264757106470872010-07-21T11:15:29.362-05:002010-07-21T11:15:29.362-05:00Isn't her appeal that she is hated by liberals...Isn't her appeal that she is hated by liberals and makes them angry? Isn't that the sum total of her appeal and the sum total of the philosophical depth of that part of the right? <br /><br />Look at the response to the oil spill.

Lo...Yeah, guilty as charged on both counts Steves.<br /><br />Look, Rickey's snarky comment comes from his disbelief that you're actually trying to apply logic to these people. The "mad as hell" tea party crowd seems to have no legitimate beliefs other than the fact that they're "mad as hell" at pretty much anything and everything going on in this country. <br /><br />Where were these people during the Bush administration when we were spending like drunken sailors, waging unnecessary wars, and poisoning our environment? <br /><br />Suddenly a black guy gets elected president and this is no longer the country they love and cherish? Really? That doesn't scare you a bit? The Tea Party doesn't have an ethos. All they've got is thinly veiled hatred. <br /><br />You say that this "isn't a help." A help to what exactly? What's the platform here? Do people like Bachmann really deserve our attention in the first place?Rickeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05773465359487671887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14594994.post-814609495928675242010-07-19T18:18:04.246-05:002010-07-19T18:18:04.246-05:00Ok Captain Hyperbole and Ad Hominem Man, my point ...Ok Captain Hyperbole and Ad Hominem Man, my point was that there are plenty of people that support Bachmann and she has shown that she can raise even more money than Dahlmer. I was trying to understand why some are excited at this, but like I said, in the end, I think it isn't a help.steveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08862590608695420004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14594994.post-60844218995107863602010-07-19T12:46:41.674-05:002010-07-19T12:46:41.674-05:00Rickey –

She cares about it as she wants it interrupted and if that doesn’t work, she will be calling for amendment. Fiscal responsibility my ass.
