“I don’t think New Jersey is a southern state.”

Who said it was?

“Maybe the guy learned a thing or too reading totally classy and intelligent comments on liberal blogs.”

Nah, I’ve found that the Kevins of the world don’t need outside influences to be jackasses.

What they hell they got to do with Ohio?”

Did he not see Boehner’s last ad with the banjos and hound dogs?

I see where Republican Chris Christie leads in New jersey’s Governor’s race. I don’t think New Jersey is a southern state.

The NJ Democratic Party is loaded with corrupt and/or incompetent hacks – that the Republicans haven’t done better there in recent election cycles is a testament to how unpopular they are in the Northeast. I know nothing about Chris Christie, but if I lived in NJ, I would consider voting for a Rep. in a race that had no impact on the balance of power in D.C., though my contempt for the Republican Party in general is so high, that I’d vote to send an incompetent corrupt hack with a D after their name to DC, before I’d vote to gives a seat to a member of the incompetent corrupt Republican Party.

Seems appropriate when the party has nothing but fake cowboys.

Is Boss Hogg the best you can do, Oliver? That’s really pretty lame.

I mean, can’t someone as thoughtful, creative and intelligent as you come up with a picture of Simon Legree to highlight your bigotry?

Up your game.

Truthfully, the way they win again is if (when) the Dems fuck up.

That’s how Democrats have generally been able to win, too, for the last several decades.

And what’s funny is that they truly believe this is the way to win elections.

Agree. Every major conservative media figure to whom I listen to at all has been saying since 2006 that the way they win again is to get more conservative.

Truthfully, the way they win again is if (when) the Dems fuck up.

“good due worse”

Wut?

But Voinovich is right. The GOP doesn’t have room for moderates any longer. Doesn’t want ‘em. Has no place for them.

And what’s funny is that they truly believe this is the way to win elections.

The GOP is the new confederacy. Better get all them New York City fauxnews boys; Hannity, O’Reilly, Kristol Coulter anall, a new accent to talk with.

“Looks like Oliver’s blog has attracted the elementary school crowd! Such wit, such class, such maturity!”

Maybe the guy learned a thing or too reading totally classy and intelligent comments on liberal blogs. Afterall, don’t leftwingers love snark and sarcasstic remarks?

“They could be like Oliver and be a liberal with their head in their butts.”

Voinovich forgets that south of the I-70 Ohioans start sporting “rebel” paraphernalia at an alarming rate, and often speak in an accent far closer to appalachian than what you hear on the streets of Cleveland.

The rise of Southern (and Western) crazy right populists is what drove the GOP for the last 40 years as a force in political life (though in reality they were still driven and controlled by the upper class Eastern establishment right wing elites they always have).

I’m not really concerned about where people are from. That’s irrelevant. Ideas and policies are what’s important. .

Voinovich, shouldve voiced where he disagreed with people like Coburn and Demint (2 of the Senators I admire the most btw) on policy, instead of focusing on a silly thing like geography. You may not agree with Demint and Coburn, but I think they’re pretty thoughtful on policy…Can’t say the same for Voinovich,.

I’m sure that Gabriel is equally offended by the coastal-state bashing done by conservatives like Tom Wolfe.
