Your whole post is about how your disdain for a respectful approach, so why take one with regard to me? Call me a chickensh-t if you think I am one.

But you’re still off the mark, illiterate moron.

A man calling a woman a bitch is not appropriate, and it’s not going to impress a single voter. So you’ve still lost, and she’s won, even if her nose is a bit bloody.

I look forward to taking part. On the copious merits of the case against her as a senator and official of government in general. There is no need to stoop to that level, especially considering the risk of alienating those sensitive to such an unnecessary term.

Warning: Potentially NSFW.

And we’re supposed to throttle back on calling Babs Boxer something that is not only comparatively mild, but, as I said, factually correct?

Politics ain’t beanbag. It’s because our party hasn’t quite figured that out, that we have only 40 senators and a government about to take over decisions on which of us as individuals get to live or die.

Twenty-some years ago I took on a radio host, possibly Mike Gallagher, maybe someone else, I don’t recall, over his disrespectful tone and language towards Senator Bill Bradley (D) of NJ. My reasoning was as good-intentioned and straightforward as yours… “let’s keep the discourse civil.” Looking back now, twenty-some years older and looking into the gaping maw of radical socialist federal government telling me when and if I can get medical care for myself or a sick family member…. I say.. screw decorum. Bradley was a media hyped tool of the left and deserved ugly derision. Boxer is not simply an idiot, she’s an evil, corrupt, egotistical, Constitution hating idiot. And she’s ugly.

They told us that decorum adds value to the debate. Two hundred and fifty years ago, they told the British military to wear bright red uniforms and march in straight lines, in the open, while the American revolutionaries wore camoulflage and hid behind trees. They are always around with good advice. They told us to put up McCain in 2008.

They can kiss my… well, you get my drift.

Like your supposed to give them respect no matter how your husband or wife treats you. I’ve always heard the “he is your husband” or “she is your children’s mother” lines whens the other party is upset about some serious offense they did and maybe using vulgar terms. Obviously the cursing party is just venting but still they are reacting to how the other person acted. So do officials and spouses get a can do anything they want while still getting respect? I don’t get it. If someone does wrong they do wrong, why should we give them an extra allowance for wrong doing because of their position.

I was raised to believe that we are all equals: no one, no matter what position they hold in government, or how rich they are, or how poor they are, is due more respect than you would give to anyone else; be they the President, a Senator, or the local school custodian. They are all to be accorded the same respect.

We were supposed to have left this sort of behavior behind over 200 years ago.

Arguments and discussions like this highlight the creeping return of some sort aristocracy to this country, and that is more disturbing to me than a lot of the turmoil going on right now. Some form of tyranny most always follows when a few are accorded more respect and power over others, solely due to family, money or position in government.

need to take some lessons from the McDonnell campaign. He ran on “ISSUES” rather than trying to bash, and name call his opponent. He handled the thesis upheaval brilliantly, he spoke briefy about it, brought his wife and daughters out to prove he was not against women in the workfield, and, moved on to talking about his plans for the Commonwealth. It was a truley winning campaign tactic. I promise you his opponent Deeds was ready for fire, but, McDonnell stopped his fire at every opportunity.

To get into the gutter, calling another candidate names like “bitch” or anything else is not helpful. They use the Alinsky rules, and, those rules are becoming more and more shuned, especially for the Independents. If you don’t have any plans, ideas, or visions for the state, you don’t need to run period. This will get me in trouble here, but, Palin talks to the issues, not the person, even Obama.

Seriously, Norm blew this race when he decided to support the TARP package (it was surreal to watch Al “I’m a Commie” Franken actually run to Norm’s *right* on this and oppose it). Norm was already skating on thin ice with the base in MN for his decidedly moderate stance on many issues and this one pushed just enough conservatives over the edge that they decided to stay home or vote for the Independent. (that, and Norm’s refusal to get down and dirty while we watched ACORN lackey SOS Ritchie steal the election)

I know one of Norm’s staffers quite well and he’s in Norm’s ‘moderate’ mold and *he* even admits that that’s what cost Coleman the election.

Hmmm….I wonder if there’s a lesson in there for our Republican ‘leaders’ about the consequences of being ‘pale pastels’ instead of ‘bold colors.’

Nah!

and was amazed at the number of conservatives I found there. Thats not to say they are a majority but they are there. I often wondered if they had gone the way of teh dodo bird. Granted, I work at Ft Irwin, the combination of Army post and High Desert artificially increase the number of conservatives (it requires so much effort to survive in the desert there isn’t enough gov’t support to live via gov’t handout).

It is still frightening the way the entitlement mentality has zombiefied the populace. The work force there is amazing, once hired they expect everything on a silver platter, it’s “A Message To Garcia” in living color, day in and day out. Truly depressing and frightening at the same time. I would be ashamed to ask for the same things they expect from an employer. Earning loyalty from employees is an impossibility unless you can outbid the gov’t in benefits, if I wasn’t supporting Soldiers and units deploying to a combat zone it wouldn’t be worth it. Absolutely amazing. it has been an opportunity to see how the progressive’s policy’s have impacted those affected and I am thoroughly disgusted with the entitlement mentality.

Personally its a draw between

a) California sliding into the ocean

b) California declaring bankruptcy and the Federal Government applying post-Civil War Reconstruction methods to see it reformed into a new state or two

Sorry guys, it sucks.

But my RS time is split between posting, moderating, and backend stuff.

DeVore isn’t going to win a media battle, attack or defense. He needs two things:

1. Boxer needs to do poorly. She’s already gotten a start on that.

2. DeVore needs a fired up base. That’s a big part of what his travel is about. These aren’t going to sway the undecided middle. They won’t decide for another 10 months. But he can start getting Republicans ready to fight for him.

DeVore has a better chance to win than Fiorina simply because of #2. She’s never going to get anybody fired up for her, plus she won’t be able to play the poor widdle victim card in the general, so she’ll have no traction of any kind.
