Good points RD...the Republican Party, with the prodding of our own President at times, is definitely sliding farther left.

But you have to wonder if it's because the country as a whole is becoming more socialist in its philosophy... when more and more people want the government to give them what they can't earn for themselves, even if it means taking from someone else to do it...when people think that no one should have to do without anything just because they don't earn as much as another..

When the country as a whole is developing that attitude...the only argument between the parties is who will offer more freebies. Maybe that's why they are moving left...it's what the country wants.

Hillary Clinton's recent op-ed in the WSJ is a masterpiece of promises...it's the Promise Land!! Who wants to hear about personal responsibility when a politician promises...college that a single mother can afford..now where do you think those subsidies going to come from?????? Minimum wage of $10 an hour?????

Neal Boortz has laid out what he sees as the Democrats' (Secret) Plan for America.  The "biggie" as he calls it is this (emphasis mine):

Remove a majority of voters from responsibility for income taxes This is the biggie – and they've made no attempt to hide their goals here. The Democrats have been working on this plan for decades --- with no small amount of help from the cowardly Republicans. The idea is simple. Using "refundable" tax credits and deductions and such ideas as the fraudulent Earned Income Tax Credit the Democrats are working to shift the entire burden for the payment of federal income taxes onto a minority of US taxpayers. Right now the top 50 percent of taxpayers pay almost 96 percent of the taxes. The Democrats are close to their goal. When the majority of voters have no federal income tax liability it will be almost impossible to pass any meaningful tax cuts – and further tax increases will be a piece of cake, especially if the taxes only affect those to be considered to be rich. Through this ploy the Democrats plan to create a defeat-proof socialist congress.

Rather than fight it, Republicans have apparently decided to get on board so they can be in positions of power too, when it comes to pass.

Liberal's Basic Rule For Discourse: I don't care if you agree with my premises, but I demand that you agree with my conclusions.

Seriously, this is getting ridiculous. Anyone who knows Ann Coulter knows she was being sarcastic. Even when she said that, at the end of the segment she said it wasn't true.

Ann said that as a battle cry to show McCain how angry she was.

If you think one remark made in anger replaces a decade of defending the religious right, then you never were a Coulter fan in the first place.

Go back to supporting Mr. "I support Roe v Wade when I'm in California" McCain.

Vote for "<insert name of conservative (except McCain) who stands up to the media>" for President in 2008.

I have to blink to assure I'm reading this correctly.

Coulter makes one snide remark and you're calling to burn her books?

What the crap is this, Fahrenheit 451?

Just put some duct tape over her mouth and call it day. No need for the first amendment.

The Socialists have officially won.

...its quite a pickle we're in.  I understand your desire to stand strong for what you believe in.

We are already in a slow bleed toward socialism with our aging population (led by the AARP).  And McCain may only slow it a bit.  Don't know what else to say except - arrghhhh!
