Reid: 'I can't stand McCain'

Frankly..I can't stand Harry Reid!..nothing personal...Ok.. "I lied"...

Why, Mr. Majority Leader? For petty, emotionally motivated and short-sight reasons. That's why you guys do lots of things that would seem to be counter-productive, self destructive, not in the country's best interests and counter-intuitive.

I have little regard for him, either, SC.

I may vote for McCain just on this alone...

Yup. I wonder if there will ever be such a thing as Premium Voting as an alternative to regular voting?

With Premium voting you could send a message directly to the candidate or campaign of your choice...for a fee.

Regular voters would still be free and as we know it. But Premium Voters could vote for their candidates and ballot measures as they wished. But if, for an example, an Obama voter wanted to send a message to McCain's campaign team, he could.

Or he could send a message to the Obama team. Either way you'd get a chance to tell them your thoughts.

$100 per message sounds right.

Frankly..every time I hear Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid open his pie hole I remember why I left the Democratic party..

I am disappointed in Harry and Nancy.
The South Wind and the West Wind.

The thing that really bugs about the Dems. is that they just keep pushing their leadership further and further left. Between Obama, Reid and Pelosi, you have some of the most liberal, one-sided people in Congress and these are the people the Dems have/want for leaders. They talk about unifying the country, yet their leadership is so completely and utterly extreme left, that it's tough to believe them. The Dems don't seem to have a McCain type of person in any position of leadership. They seem to have an agenda of pushing everything left and are going to start leaving a growing portion of Americans behind them. I think that this is going to eventually leave a lot of people in the position of Pres. Reagan (and myself) when he said "I didn't leave the Democratic party, the Democratic party left me." (or something close to that). Most of your average "man-on-the-street" Democrats are newhere near as liberal as their leadership is, yet the Party keeps putting people into positions of leadership that are pushing the Dem party further and further left and are going to eventually leave their constituents with no choice but to find another party (as happened in the late '80s when the Reps. had their big resurgence based on Dems who followed in Reagan's footsteps).

Giving a liberal facts is like throwing bacon at a vegetarian. All it does it piss off the vegetarian and waste good bacon.

I've noticed that, too...

In BACK TO BACK election cycles, the Democrats will have nominated for president the person with THEE most Liberal voting reord in the Senate...

That's the exact opposite of meeting people in the middle and any attempt at unifying...

If McCain wins, the Left wins a little bit also...The Right doesn't get that consolation with Obama...

If the Dems picked a Democrat in the middle, then this would truly be an election where both sides get a piece of their political platform...But everytime a person like that shows up (Joe Lieberman, Zell Miller) they get mercilessly attacked and vilified instead...

Lieberman is too interested in Israel to the detriment of some of our foreign policy. You don't want to have a Muslim extremist either. But an Israeli extremist would be just as bad.
And Zell Miller is a liar. He got into the Governor's mansion by promising the people of Georgia rural development with an eye on rail helping to ease the overall transportation problems. He stuck his nose up Bush long enough to run for the senate (in a conservative state), and all that he promised is in a back log of paper work he left for someone else to figure out.
