   Loyal my ass. They’re the ones that talk secession. They rejoice at being the kvetching, irresponsible twits they always were, but now someone else has to clean up their mess.

   The party of “No” has now degenerated into the party of “No United States”.

   Thanks for making this clear, Mr. Assay.

   For the record, I’ve always thought highly of Senator Specter, even when I’ve disagreed with him. In my experience, his votes tend to be directed by his conscience rather than by party politics. Personally, I think that should be celebrated.

   Folks can disagree with me, and that’s fine. But I remember being a college student in Philadelphia and being really impressed, for instance, when Specter parted with his fellow Republicans to vote for ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty. Ratification didn’t pass, but I gained tremendous respect for him, and he has seldom ceased earning that respect since.

   And when ALL the republicans have become democrats, the republicans will be happiest of all! Makes no sense, Mr. Asay. You sputtered loudest of all when democrats opposed Bush policies; they were not loyal opposers, but traitors and appeasers. Do you not see the beam in your eye?

   I agree with you, Tpenna. Unfortunately, because he does vote that way, instead of being a good sheep and voting the party line, Bushies like Anandy call him “Man of no principles”.

   The Thomas hearings were Specter’s low point as a human being, and high point as a “Modern era” Republican- lying, conniving, disreputable, and nasty. 80% of the National debt belongs to these “deficit fighters”, torture, of people and logic, is theirs. Criminal convictions are theirs, even though phony “reversals” by their court appointees have freed the most contemptible and treasonous. This is NOT the republican party of LIncoln, T.R., Eisenhower(despite McCarthy running loose) or anyone with a scratch of integrity. Their definition of “loyal” was set by Benedict Arnold, before their party was born.

   Cheney said this morning he’d prefer Limbaugh over Colin Powell as a Republican. Limbaugh over Powell?? Okay, there were Powell’s lies FOR Cheney in U.N. testimony, but a total lack of morals (Limbaugh/Cheney) has no connection to I.Q. (btw 120 isn’t all that high)

   “We just have to be the loyal opposition” well isn’t that just rosy optimism from the party of no—let’s talk secession, let’s obstruct everything, even though the American people voted for change– Let’s continue to have Rush Limbaugh as the intellectual leader of the GOP. Too bad, Mr. Lincoln.

   I just want to put in a point about IQ here. Recently many of us have been talking about it, but so far I have not seen anyone mention that there is more than one kind of intelligence. I have one kind, an analytical sort…I can learn all sorts of things from books and think about science kind of things. But I have absolutely no “creative intelligence”. I could no more write a novel or piece of music or (honestly) make a really good pun like senor does than fly to the moon. Let’s drop the IQ thing. I’d bet Motivemagus would agree with me.

    Is RINO supposed to be a pun I’m missing, or can Asay just not spell RHINO?

    And hrmmm… Loyal Opposition - those Loyal to Opposition? AKA Obstructionist? ;-)
