Loved your comment and you're spot on. The Republicans have purged their party of anyone even close to moderate and this has brought the entire country rabidly to the right. Today Americans see the bankrupt ways of the Republican party, but after millions of marketing dollars are spent, it'll be neck and neck again. There's no solution until we clean up the media. By the way, loved your blog. Hey Tom, thanks for stopping by to visit. Loved your comment and you’re spot on.

Be part of the in-crowd and they will listen and believe you but if you're a Democrat, then no amount of fact will bring them over to your way of thinking. That is probably part of the reason so many of them are bigots, and I'm not saying that to be derogatory, but it's a known fact. Republicans are clique driven much more than Democrats.

They're all so sure they're right that they refuse to listen to the facts and the more you can prove their misunderstandings, the more they yell to avoid hearing the truth.

All over the print and electronic media this week, the poobahs and pundits are predicting major Republican gains in next year's elections. What is their basis for so bold a prediction? Historically, the party of a sitting president always loses in the midterm elections. It is as natural as autumn following summer. However, they fail to take into consideration one crucial factor: this is no ordinary time. Given their weird behavior in the last year or so - and given the fact that they will only continue to self destruct in coming twelve months - I cannot foresee them gaining any serious ground in either the House or the Senate on Election Day next. In fact I can only see their numbers diminishing even further. By this time next year, Sarah Palin will be yesterday's news - count on it. We can only hope that out of the carnage of the GOP's destruction will come a third party that is a tad more moderate and thoughtful - and I must emphasize the word "Hope". Than ain't never gonna happen, baby! It's easy to predict that the Democrats will be running things for a long time into the future. The problem with that little scenario is, as Machiavelli said, "power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely" - and the Democrats already have more-than-their-share of corrupt political hacks. For every Russ Feingold there are about ten Max Baucuses. If the Democratic Party is going to be taken seriously in their self-proclaimed roll as the "the party of the people" (and that's getting harder to believe by the day) they need to be purged of their dead weight. http://www.tomdegan.blogspot,com Tom Degan Goshen, NY No doubt about it, the party is over.

Loved the Thanksgiving turkey poll. It seems that all 2 of us who took it are having turkey. I once knew a guy who looked forward to having spaghetti for Thanksgiving. Sounds cruddy to me.
