sign the petition? - Page 3

And nothing like justifying that insensitivity

...care to substantiate that? Didn't think so, because it's not possible. You're certainly entitled to your opinion of the author, but then, so is everyone else, and that is the embodiment of freedom.  I may not have chosen the same path he did, but if one is really interested in the issues (as opposed to being simply bored perhaps), further consideration of what is actually purposed may indeed go a long way in addressing those issues.  Case in point, the author brought to light the fact that not only do these older conventions still exist in pockets, but they remain polarizing forces within the electorate, and as a result remain obstacles for moderate conservatives which may include the author himself.  Surely someone who supported such things wouldn't being serving their cause by bringing attention to them in a paper with the readership of the Washington Post now would they? 

Carlin is correct. The article was written in reference to the TEA PARTY!

The article was written to shape opinion.
 

Moons - Of course, as is the case with the vast majority of similar offerings.  This one, and others like it are quite simple, really.  The GOP is struggling to redefine itself, and recognizes that in order to avoid being a non-factor moving forward, they must address the extreme right within their own party. 

It's all voodoo magic Carlin,
Image, opinion, it's here and then poof it's gone, slight of hand, or should I say mind.
As long as the people are more interested in the show than what actually happens they deserve what they get.

Things were bad enough before this administration, but now..................... hell I don't even have the words to describe now.
It's like attending our own funeral, I think my worst fears are about to be realized.
Chaos has begun in earnest, the play has begun, let the magic show begin, there will be no intermission, when we wake it will all be over.

Quite simply.

Lol...truth spoken.

I just don't care for petitions, or participating in polls and market surveys as a personal thing. So, even if I might agree or disagree with a columnist writing an Op Ed piece, I  am not signing any petitions today.

Now, I will say my impression. It does sound to me that the opinion in question is geared toward the old-school, uber-conservative, skull and bones styled GOP. Oops, does that sound like a tea party?

It will hurt, and it will not be over soon.

I don't like petitions either Bee.
An angry mob gathered around a fire with torches in hand all of the same mind sounds like heaven to me.
 

Well, geez, people sign it or don't. That why I used "?" in the topic.

Sorry if I misunderstood you, Carlin. Frankly I seldom know exactly what you are saying without using a dictionary . You're  way too literate for the likes of me.

"Now, I will say my impression. It does sound to me that the opinion in question is geared toward the old-school, uber-conservative, skull and bones styled GOP. Oops, does that sound like a tea party?"

Well the author of the article when confronted said it was about the TEA PARTY.

I thought it was geared towards those old school Democrats, the 83% that voted against the abolishing of slavery.
