The Conversation Pit
This is where EVERYTHING else goes. No subject is too mundane. How's the weather in your area? Did your kid cut his first tooth? Really, what do you think about the President? And don't get me started on Cummins and Duramaxes. Have at it!

Default How bad does a Political Party have to screw up before...

a 29 year Senate Republican decides to jump ship to the Democratic Party
We are not talking a junior senator here but one of most senior members of the senate and champion of the Republican agenda.... God I love this
Limbaugh and the other Ultra Right are going to have a field day with this... However I have to make a point that so many republicans are missing... Limbaugh is NOT in political office.. He is a media personality and gets paid to be controversial!! Talk is cheap and there is a big difference to talk smack and actually do something about the problems. As for any Joe the Plumber or other average American that thinks Rush is in touch with your personal situation and needs, you must have missed the article in Parade magazine showing Rush made $38 MILLION last year... He has no idea what it is to live paycheck to paycheck.. not be able to get healthcare for yourself or your family, Being unemployed or any of the other issues confronting so many people today

If there was a big STIRRING THE POT smiley it would be posted here

Pretty amazing, isn't it? I can just see the reaction from most of the ultra-right wing nuts that live in the Springs area over this. Every time I went up there to visit my Mother, she'd have "talk radio" on and, of course she subscribed to the local paper (Rocky Mountain News?). I thought I'd been transported to another planet.

Good old Rush. He DOES get paid pretty well for stirring the pot, doesn't he?

Wonder how you or I could get a job like that?

29 years is too long to be in the Senate. Term limits need to be set. Pretty much every other office has them.

You may be right on this Chuck, but Arlen Specter always struck me as one of the "good ones". I was stationed in Pennsylvania for three years and liked him then. I've liked his stance on the problems in the Justice Department and other matters relating to legal issues.

His switch will give the Democrats enormous power. This is a time when they can show leadership and make some changes for the better.

It's only for the "good" of his constituants!
Yah right, time to hop on the democratic wagon. They have the power! They are organized! Time to get off the sinking elephant!

Rush? He's just worried that talk radio is going to be cencered!

Just what I see and hear!
