Sounds like a mature, example-setting contest. Such is the way of politics, I guess.

[verytwistedmind.livejournal.com]

When has politics ever been 'mature'?

I remember during the 1990's campaign when Hulk Holgan called the Iron Shiek an candy ass. I wouldn't call that a mature campiagn.

[pantsu.livejournal.com]

Duh. But somebody has to eventually put on the big boy pants and say enough is enough.

[dwer.livejournal.com]

Rush reaps what he sows.

[pantsu.livejournal.com]

You don't combat immaturity with more immaturity.
Only in America, maybe, but still. This sounds like a stupid way to ~stick it~ to Rush, especially since he'll catch wind of it within the day, if he hasn't already, and will just reflect the shot back with some immaturity of his own.

[dwer.livejournal.com]

I don't think the activists who are agitating him think that such a reaction would be bad.

If the Democrats can tie Rush to the GOP enough to make the average person think that Rush represents the GOP -- and a lot of people already think that -- it's good for the Democratic party.

[pantsu.livejournal.com]

Except that's unlikely to work, since pretty much everybody already knows that the Democrats are trying to tie him to the GOP.

[dwer.livejournal.com]

if you say so. I think it's entirely possible that people will see the Democrats pointing out that connection -- like when Rahm said that Steele would go apologize to Rush -- and then Steele went and apologized to Rush.

All Steele had to do was NOT go apologize. Shouldn't have been too hard.

It's totally in the Democrats best interests to demonstrate how the GOP is beholden to the radical right-wing conservatives. That flag-bearer is Rush. As long as there's a parade of GOP politicians to his show to grovel and beg forgiveness, I don't see that perception of the link changing.

All the GOP has to do is stand up and reject his divisive, racist ravings.

Can they do it?

[pantsu.livejournal.com]

And risk losing more of their voter base?

I dunno, we'll see.

[dwer.livejournal.com]

they can't win presidential elections on 23% support.

[pantsu.livejournal.com]

That 23% statistic is the amount of voters who trust the GOP to handle economic issues - and that was from mid-December of last year. That has nothing to do with their support ratings.
Obviously the GOP is trying to rebuild the party. I doubt in four years nothing will have changed.

[dwer.livejournal.com]

actually, I was talking about Bush's lowest approval ratings, which are obviously the most committed base of the party.

They are trying to rebuild. The problem is, they're using old materials.

[pantsu.livejournal.com]

Old materials like what?
Young Republicans are trying to take over or at least be heard and the asshat radicals won't have anything of it. Luckily most of those people are old so it's only a matter of time before we're able to do something about it.

[dwer.livejournal.com]

just because there's some personnel changes doesn't mean that the same old ideas aren't being recycled. "The GOP needs to return to its roots". I mean, really?

However, I honestly hope that someone can bring the GOP into the 20th Century.

[pantsu.livejournal.com]

What do you think the GOP's roots are? If you look back on history, the Republicans of the past had the right ideas. Republicanism has gotten dangerously close to the radicals and the religious.

We're trying. Not so much with politics, but with ways of going about expressing political ideas and the agenda. I'm not a Republican but this party is the best thing people like me have got because those little cockshits ignored George Washington when he suggested there should be more than two major parties.

[dwer.livejournal.com]

to me, tho, when someone says "go back to the roots", they mean the George Wallace, Nixon, Reagan roots.

[pantsu.livejournal.com]

Reagon's ideas were the best thing modern America had and that might be even better than historic Republicanism.

[reality-hammer.livejournal.com]

Wallace was a Democrat. Night school not going so well?

[reality-hammer.livejournal.com]

What divisive, racist ravings? He's no Democrat.

[ladypolitik.livejournal.com]

Takes one to know one, huh.

[pantsu.livejournal.com]

A strange accusation, more or less one that isn't true.
Damn, what is with the pointless insults flying around here lately? Moar politics, please.

[ladypolitik.livejournal.com]

You have a short memory. :|

I suppose the "moar politics" bit is fair enough, though.

[pantsu.livejournal.com]

No, I can imagine you're referring to my infrequent stays at the political macro community, though I haven't been there in MONTHS and don't plan on returning, as I've found better places elsewhere.
But macros certainly shouldn't be your model for maturity, so if that's your method of judgment then I would advise you to find a better one.

[ladypolitik.livejournal.com]

Oh, no-no. The model would be the other half of the story you left out (the cross-community follow-up (http://community.livejournal.com/mccain_palin08/404125.html) to one of your infrequent stays at the macro community).

It's a reference/model based on the assumption that mccain_palin08 was a political community meant to be taken seriously, of course.

[pantsu.livejournal.com]

Is it inappropriate of me to share laughs amongst like-minded people? Sorry, I forgot that no other communities in livejournal are utilised in such a way.

Why shouldn't it have been taken seriously? Because it was about McCain and Palin? Grow up.
