That's a pretty impressive show of liberalism when you get both Rocky and Jill that high!

I actually like Rocky. I think he's a bit of a loon and way too big government for me, but he's sort of a likeable guy and not quite the ditzy sort that Stein is.

It's a proper noun, it should be capitalized. However, you fail to follow any grammar rules, so I doubt you would follow that one.

Looks like the campaigning of JoeyB had some effect after all.

Funny...to me, they don't seem all that different than Democrats. Oh, they'll talk different games, but when you get right down to it, the actions really aren't that much different.

Which means either the party of Democrats is WAY MORE to the right than you'll ever admit, or you're dead wrong about the Republican party being so far to the right.

I'll take the latter, for 100 Alex...
That is an interesting retort to the question I posed and then a big finish with attributing comments to me that I did not make. In other words, a typical reply from you! I actually shake my head when I see how far right the republican party has shifted. When I started voting in '84 I considered myself to be a republican. Voted for both Reagan and Bush. Then I saw the shift taking place. I stood pat while the party moved away from me. Now I consider myself to be affiliated with neither party. Why you continue to characterize me as a liberal is beyond me. What if I told you that I did not vote for Gore, GW, Kerry, Obama or McCain? That is a true story and the trend will continue with this election. Just to prove you wrong, I will admit that the democratic party is pretty far to the right, but I will stand firm that the republican party has shifted very far to the right.

I'm curious...

On what have they moved further to the right on?

I really feel when the evangelical folks had more control that the republican party was hard core right pandering to an undeserving voting block. The real issue is the spending problem that the United States Congress has, with few Presidents willing to call them to mast. I recall President Reagan standing in a state of the union with a budget he refused to sign ridiculing members of the Congress for spending money like water, calling members out by name for absolute horseshit included in a budget. America has become a junkie on programs worse than any drug addict could get hooked. It is time for a United States President to call members of the Congress to mast, and give the people of this great nation rehab that it so desperately needs. The republican party moving farther to the right, maybe for those on mind altering meds.

What has really happened in this nation, politically, is that the left has become more radical over the decades, and as the Dems kept moving to the left, more and more Republicans got sucked along by the draft that movement created, and they were also pulled from right of center to either "center" or left of it. This is why we have so many RINOs in office today.

Nationally, there has been virtually no movement to the right, politically, for decades. And I don't see that changing. In fact, conservatism, as a political ideology, is all but dead in this nation, which means the Dems will continue to roll right over the dead bodies, as they have successfully been doing.
