The RR and the ultra-right wing of the party have it in their control. More mainstream Republicans, like Lincoln Chaffey and the Governator are not at the top oreven near the top of the leadership of the party. Hell, I don't even think GWB is a ultra conservative. I think he's a good guy outside of the presidency.........he's just a beyond-lousy president whose policies and those of his party helped lead us to where we are now.

Thanks for not taking my question and not making it into a battle of the parties. After reading a few articles that said McCain gave in to the religious rignt, I was curious as to whether anyone thought the religious right had a grip on the Republican party.

I don't care about the tit for tat stuff and I don't feel like having exchanges with anyone who's going to throw the other party in my face. For example, does the fact that McCain cheated on his wife negate the fact that Edwards cheated on his? Am I supposed to care what radical groups may have taken over the Democrats' party when I asked about the Republicans?

Oh and IA with you on George W. Despite his shortcomings as an executive, he's brought some humor into the position.

If you dont like they way your question was answered and you have specific guidelines as to how you would like it answered, please specify that in your question. I would like to better accommodate your preferences in the future so that we may continue to try to avoid making this personal and rather a geniune debate on the issues.

You know, I have always thought he was a good guy, some cat you could sit down and have a bear with.

But it has always seemed to me that he just didn't want to be president. With the time he spent in Crawford, that said to me that he wanted to be home more than in D.C.

I had heard that William F. Buckley had felt the party had lost its way. I think he may be right......and that doesn't exclude the Democrats, who until the last two years were just weak on alot of things.

And as much as my little UCLA heart does not like that 'tis true, the Trojans are indeed ranked #1. ;)

Dude, it stinks. All Top 6 teams won last week, but because USC had a away game, and Georgia beat a poot-butt school by 3 touchdowns, they dropped.

That is why I just can't get into CF.

Take a look at what a liar this woman is. She might be fooling some American's but I see right past her, as do many others. Check it out.

I didn't visit the site but there is creative wording and then there's flat out lying. It doesn't matter if she didn't say she sold it on eBay (even though the intent was to mislead) when she still lied about selling it for a profit. The sad thing about this is why make up the lie in the first place? What does that even have to do with running for a higher office?

It's a fact that both parties use creative wording which is many times misleading, but in addition to that McCain engages in the politics of fear which I find reprehensible. And now he has his sidekick lying. He may not be responsible for the lies that other members of his party are telling but to the extent that he doesn't attempt to curtail it then he is just as bad.

The ranking system has many many flaws. But on the bright side for my team--they benefited from beating a team to which they were seven point underdogs.

CF is most interesting at bowl time.

I never thought that there were that many Clinton supporters who were still angry and would go over to McCain. The ones who do must have more in common with him than with Clinton since that would be a radical jump. And if they say they are voting for him because they are mad at their party then that is truly silly. Palin and Clinton are not interchangeable so if the mission of those supporters was to boost a woman then backing McCain-Palin makes sense.

When one disagrees with someone, that does not mean the other person is wrong.

You see it one way and I see it a different way. Period.

Fair enough. :) You're cool, Roman... I enjoy chatting with you about this stuff.

I guess now it's Joe Biden who hasn't done anything either. I read this quote on CNN.com where Palin is criticizing him but I don't get her point.

“You know, the choices that presidential nominees make for running mate they say a lot about them,” Palin told an audience of 12,000 flag-waving Republicans who had gathered in a jet hangar here.

“When our opponent made his choice, he went for a fine man,” she said. “A decent man. Sen. Biden can claim many chairmanships across many, many years in Washington, and certainly many friends in the Washington establishment. But even those admirers would not be able to call him an agent of change.”

Meanwhile, she said, “Sen. McCain has called the two of us a team of mavericks. John McCain knows that we’ve done some shaking up in Alaska.”

I had no idea he'd been sitting in Washington doing nothing all these years. At least she;s not a religious conservative since I would hope they don't believe in lying.
