they sure have quite a database of 'LIFE-LONG-REPUBLICANS/CONSERVATIVES-WHO-NOW-LEAN- DEMOCRAT"

All .00001 percent of the US population - not a big database - but a database none-the-less:)

We need "ex Clintonistas" telling their compelling stories of how they've "seen the light" and now will vote Republican. -GPJ

Don't hold your breath, Gary. The MSM is simply not interested in Democrats who have changed their mind and intend to vote for a Republican.

<sarc>Besides, that just doesn't happen, dontcha know. A Democrat-turned-Republican is the political equivalent of a unicorn.

He has a voting record???? 

Now, that's a good one!  lol

Seriously, in one of his goofy foreign policy pronouncements, bambi, said that he would "take care of" those pesky terrorists in northern Pakistan by invading the country!  No, he didn't ask pretty please, may I, from the UN (remember when the drive by's meme was non stop regarding asking the UN's permission - they were mysteriously silent on this pronouncement).  And, of course, he said nothing about asking the host country, Pakistan, if they would permit it. 

"I've got a much more global perspective today..."

Translation: "I now hate America." Teamcheeser

That's a good one. And of course, Obama is just the one to solve all these global problems, because he will "start a conversation."

Which will no doubt begin with: Yes, America is the most evil country in the world....now how can we win your love back?

Maybe it's because nobody gave any money at all to them? Or maybe it's because they have 0 supporters who are willing to form Meetup groups? Or generate rockstar-like crowds in spite of a self-effacing personality? Or maybe it's because they all have no BLIMP? Or they don't repeatedly-break single day fundraising records?? Or they don't win straw-poll after straw-poll & online-poll after online-poll & text-phone poll after text-phone poll -- often to the hilarious whines of Sean Hannity?? :)

I could go on... Whine about Ron Paul all you want, but we EARN all the coverage we get, and it's often still biased as hell, even if I'm the only one who provides any balance in pointing that particular flavor of media bias out here -- to the point of me spending most of yesterday-AM gleefully-mocking the NB masthead's last ill-fated attempt to mock US! (It's too-easy to be me around here, sometimes!)

As for Coulter, it would have been nice to hear from NON-RINO candidates at CPAC instead of that foul-mouthed rant from her, IMO. Her rant took up the time that "conservative" group had for non-RINOs, though, and that fact is 100% CPAC's fault, not the media's, just as I said at the time.

Rally online with fans of Dr. Ron Paul. (All purpose anti-slander-link, sadly-needed these days...)

I'm a libertarian-leaning dude, and I dig many of the views of Ron Paul, but the guy's got blinders on, where foreign policy is concerned, IMO. The world is much smaller than it was 232 years ago; if we don't maintain a global presence and exert influence by taking ourselves (via trade, cultural exchanges, diplomacy and yes, even pre-emptive armed conflict when necessary, which Congress authorized for Iraq, btw) to the world, the world will definitely bring itself to us, and in a manner and time likely not of our choosing. I'd like to vote for Paul, but won't unless he develops a more reality-based foreign policy posture. I will however, vote for the candidate who, IMO, is most likely to stop pouring billion$ down the War on Drugs drain and redirect those resources to fighting the Global War On Islamic Lunatics Bent On Killing Us All and Who Finance a Large Part of Their Operations With Afgani Opium Profits.

They're buying into what they hear  the MSM preaching on TV about the tragedy of no healthcare for the poor and that we need the government to become the caretakers for all those people who don't want to work for a living.  We should have affordable insurance for all and good paying jobs for people who want to work.  We could get the former by eliminating the lawsuits from someone stupid enough to crush a cup of hot coffee between their thighs and the latter by punishing the businesses hiring illegals.

The reason I say the people are dupes is that they believe the preachers of this new wave of socialism are actually going to be there in the trenches suffering the same deprivations they are.  The people who jet around the world preaching about AGW aren't going to skip that tropical vacation poising as a conference and when they need healthcare, they aren't queueing at the end of a 2-year waiting list.  They aren't going to sacrifice their protection from a lawless society.  They don't carry guns, their bodyguards do.  They don't worry a whole lot about actual crime inside their gated communities or restricted high-rises.  They drive by or fly over the world they want their dupes to live in on their way to their bully-pulpits.  They preach about increasing taxes while they shelter their income in foreign accounts.  The dupes buy into the sermon, but they don't realize it will be a two-tiered system.  The preachers will stay in their ivory towers enjoying what the dupes will have to give up to pay for the preachers' guilt.
