J.Caruso: “A very conservative candidate running in the ultra left wing state of Maryland and the results should have been closer? Yeah right.”

He practically ran as a Democrat! And listening to media reports from the time, you would have thought the race was going to be a coin toss.

Granted, Beltway Media is not reliable, but he clearly missed expectations.

Tom: “You spent half of the comments thread telling us why you aren’t qualified to determine who should be at the helm of the Republican’ts in the future, and ducking the question (while tossing out gratuitous insults – stay classy there, fella!) about the future of the Republican’ts, and then you want to start giving you opinions about the future of the Democrats?”

J.G.Thayer is a hypocrite of the ultimate order.

Anyone who responds to him with anything more than, ‘Shut the fuck up!’ is wasting their time. And I admit I’m guilty of that.

I agree with Jaye and Amanda. Steele is a fine choice. It has me quaking in my boots. You betcha.

Let us recall this thread on the next occasion when Mr. Tea begins whining about those who criticize his fact-and-reason-filled posts rather than offering an opinion of our own.

The future of the Democrats?

I’m trying to figure out where it was that anyone asked you this questions, Jay.

You spent half of the comments thread telling us why you aren’t qualified to determine who should be at the helm of the Republican’ts in the future, and ducking the question (while tossing out gratuitous insults – stay classy there, fella!) about the future of the Republican’ts, and then you want to start giving you opinions about the future of the Democrats?

Don’t you think you’re slightly less qualified to talk about the Democrats than about the Republican’ts? Who you said you were unqualified to discuss?

Also: let the record show the increased level of incivility by Jay Tea is happening within the first month of his conservative philosophy being tossed out of the government. After eight years of hammering liberals about the loser Demoncraps. Can you imagine the level of rage and frustration when Jay has had, oh, let’s say, one tenth of the harassment and abuse that he’s doled out here? Can you imagine that someone who holds opinions like this would be even considered competent or qualified to discuss this, or any, political situation?

Grump, I’m tempted to click on that link…but I refuse to soil my PC with anything from the Keystone Kleagle Kop.

Jaim, you know the joke about the world’s tiniest violin, right? That applies to the pending implosion of the wingnut media.

Actually, Steele ran as a moderate (that’s one of the reasons the media thought Steele could be the Republican success story of 2006. Turns out the only GOP win was a conservative from a conservative state, Bob Corker, in what was an advance sign of the GOP’s status as a small regional southern party). That’s why Steele did not oppose Roe vs. Wade when he ran – is that a “conservative” position? No. And Maryland is a moderate state. You’re increasingly isolated and substituting your personal beliefs for reality. Remember how you told me your conservative Florida wouldn’t go for the liberal Obama? The country is changing right under yer feet.

losing by double digits in a race that should have been much closer

A very conservative candidate running in the ultra left wing state of Maryland and the results should have been closer? Yeah right.

Oh and great job on the stimulus package Democrats. That dog park in Chula Vista, CA will be a BOON to those living in Peoria.

Heckuva job.

Oh, but c’mon — have you been reading all the con bloggers turning on one another and Charles and Simon? Pam Gellar saying that she really, truly thought Pajamas would rival the AP and UPI?

S’beautiful.

he had it all planned out, long before any voting was held, and just plugged in the details.
Prove it, ass. I noted weeks ago that Steele was possibly the worst choice ever. Your parallel with Dean is ridiculous. Steele has never been elected on his own to any office. Dean was governor of Vermont and the first political candidate to seriously tap into the netroots and the web at large to go from obscurity to viability. When Dean took charge of the party he made clear his goal was to tear down the failed system. Mikey Steele’s a black guy who made some funny commercials, thats it.

He wasn’t in the running but the RNC could have picked someone with a forward looking version of the GOP like Patrick Ruffini or John Henke… they didn’t. It’s same old same old with a Twitter account, and while I’ve said time and again that I don’t make Rove-like declarations about permanent majorities — taking out the ideology I’d put more money on Dems than Reps for the next 10 years.

Palin reads every single newspaper in existence. Cut her some slack — she’s busy edumacating herself!

“Palin took on corruption in her own party and won. She also achieved some very notable things in her tenure as governor. She has a record of accomplishment.”

Palin attack member of her party that didn’t support her candidacy for Governor. She used her power for political gain.

Just like McCain did when he took down Abramoff. One of McCain’s major donor was a rival of Abramoff. Not something you hear about in the media when they are talking about McCain’s maverick nature.

J.G.Thayer: “I don’t follow Republican politics close enough to have an opinion on such inside baseball as who should be RNC Chair.”

Yet you are here voicing your opinion on the matter. You claim Oliver is being a hack for voicing his opinion, but you have no information to base an opinion on your own.

Simply stunning.

“As for the future of the GOP… I think that there are aspects of several former presidential candidates that have tremendous merit. Palin, Giuliani, Thompson, Romney… all have seriously positive qualities that could serve their party and the nation.”

… You should have kept your mouth shut.

Name two ‘seriously positive qualities’ that Sarah Palin has.

J.G.Thayer: “I’m not a Republican, so I have no say in the RNC Chairman race.”

Neither am I, yet I can form an opinion on the matter. I can even back up that opinion with facts and logic.

You, on the other hand, seem petrified in stating a simple opinion.

J.G.Thayer: “Strowbridge, the RNC isn’t likely to listen to me. I’m not even a registered Republican.”

Admission of defeat. You can’t give me one person who wouldn’t fit the general tone of Oliver’s post, then you can’t call it hackery.

By the way, the actual post has specific details that apply to Steele. But I guess you are too stupid to notice that.

“But your description of Steele’s rival sounds vaguely familiar… remind me, who’s the Democratic President Pro Tem currently?”

More proof that you are a moron. You are comparing Byrd’s past with this guys present. He was a member of a whites only country club WHEN HE ANNOUNCED HE WOULD RUN FOR THE LEADER OF THE RNC. Byrd has spent decades trying to undo the harm he did as a youth.

Do you not see the difference?

“And ‘tu quoque’ is not a defense, it’s a confession.”

Wow. You are a hypocrite. You complain about tu quoque in the same post you defend a Republican racist by bringing up Byrd.

If you had any dignity, this would be enough to make you leave this site forever.
