How Quin? Are you going to run for office?

Just how Quin? By writing little articles about the bad Obama and the good Boehner? Telling little bed time stories of the good knight and the bad knight to all of us rubes out here? Tell me one more time about the part about the barbarians. Please, Uncle Quin.

Hey, by the way, how is your golf game doing lately?

ST, back off Quin, PLEASE [since he's one of the GOOD GUYS]. As I've unsuccessfully tried to inform as many here as is possible [and who will constructively LISTEN] that.....IT'S THE GD DEMOCRATS, STUPIDS! I know damned well that ''''I''''' didn't vote to elect OBAMA/DEMOCRATS that are/have been causing all of the damage [and I'd bet my last dime that Quin did not do so either]. Hopefully, you are not one of these Clintoris idiots here who rant/rave about the RINOS/CINOS/WANTABE CONSERVATIVES etc constantly [and your always intelligent commentaries don't indicate so]. To anyone out here still buying into the Democratic Party programmed indoctrination/bullexcrement concerning RINOS/CINOS etc, please read/contemplate the following: '......Democrats focus attacks on Perry, Romney and the tea partyPublished: 10:33 PM 09/07/2011 | Updated: 11:10 PM 09/07/2011

Democratic flacks, spinners and talking-heads are doing their best to scratch up the public images of Governors Rick Perry and Mitt Romney, and of the tea party, while largely ignoring other candidates for the GOP nomination.“What the American people saw tonight was all of the Republican candidates reaffirming their allegiance to the extreme ideology of the Tea Party,” Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who chairs the Democratic National Committee, declared at 10:42 p.m. “If you’re a middle class family looking for opportunity the GOP field once again offered no solutions tonight,” Wasserman Schultz said. “On issue after issue, Tea Party beliefs are taking hold of the Republican Party as they continually put the well-being of corporations, big oil, and special interests ahead of middle class Americans,” said her statement, which mentioned only Romney and Perry.The same themes were pushed just prior to the debate.A “Fact Check” distributed Sept. 6 by the Democratic National Committee, for example, declared that “Mitt Romney [is] ‘on the same page’ with the Tea Party agenda that would essentially end Medicare all together for future beneficiaries.”And a DNC email, sent out an hour into the GOP debate at Ronald Reagan’s Californian ranch, declared that while “Perry might like to talk about the ‘Texas miracle,’ the reality is it’s just another Texas Tall Tale.”Democrats have repeatedly said they would like to tarnish the public reputation of Romney and Perry long before either gets to face President Obama next year, and tying them to the tea party movement appears to be one strategy.White House spokesman Jay Carney declared at a Wednesday press conference that the public is “enormously frustrated when Washington doesn’t just do nothing, but actually causes harm to the economy, which is exactly what happened this summer when a slice of the Congress held Washington hostage in pursuit of an ideological victory.”Democratic flacks have labeled the long-term budget plan prepared by Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, the chairman of the House budget committee, as the “tea party economic plan.” (RELATED: Gingrich in debate: I’d fire Bernanke tomorrow)And shortly before the California debate, the DNC released another email targeting the tea party movement“9.5 million. That’s the number of American jobs we would lose from the balanced budget amendment provision of the Tea Party economic plan if it were fully phased in by 2012,” the Democrats’ email declared. “In addition to costing 9.5 million jobs nationwide, the amendment would force deep cuts to the programs that matter most to middle-class families: education, health care, Social Security, and Medicare … Millionaires and billionaires would be protected at the expense of the middle class.”Democrats bolstered this anti-tea party pitch with additional media-targeted messages from Democratic Party organizations in several states.Those emails declared that the “Tea Party economic plan” would kill 93,000 jobs in Kansas, 114,000 jobs in Connecticut, 217,000 jobs in New Jersey, 123,000 jobs in Minnesota, and 79,000 jobs in Iowa. The emails also provided Democratic Party contacts for state-level reporters.State-level Democratic pitches also painted Romney and Perry as hostile to popular entitlement programs.The “Tea Party budget plan … [would cost] 31,011 jobs here in Rhode Island,” declared Ed Pacheco, that state’s Democratic Party chairman.“Possibly a second Great Depression and devastation for the middle class, small businesses, students and seniors. An economic quagmire that could last generations. Ending Medicare and slashing Social Security. That’s the price Mitt Romney, Rick Perry, Michele Bachmann, Ron Paul and the rest of the Republican Party are willing to pay to appeal to the most extreme and narrow elements of the Tea Party,” said Pacheco’s statement.”Meanwhile, GOP spokespersons tried to reverse the spin. “The Democrats claim their ‘analysis’ is valid because it is based on the ‘conservative Romer-Bernstein rule of thumb that equates 1 percent of GDP to 1 million jobs’ … [but that rule] led Obama and Democrats to make their infamous claim that Obama’s $825 billion stimulus would keep unemployment below 8 percent,” according to a statement from the Republican National Committee.“We all know how that turned out,” the RNC statement said: “[T]he unemployment rate increased from 8.2 percent to 9.1 percent … [and we have] 31 months of unemployment above 8 percent.”.......'
As to agreeing/disagreeing with Quin editorials/opinions, I'd simply suggest you/everyone possibly read Dana Millbank of WaPo, or the NYT, or view CBS, NBC,MSNBC [and Rachel Maddow, Ed Shultz,etc] as a comparison to same, ane therafter to once again remember that.....IT'S THE DEMOCRATS, STUPIDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At this point, with Cheney attacking Palin with liberal talking points, Boehner yucking it up with Biden and his crass reference to barbarians, Coulter and Ingraham slamming the Tea Party and Palin, McCain calling me a Hobbit, Boehner snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, Rove attacking Palin, Perry, and any candidate strongly associated with the Tea Party, and everyone else including the Paulbots using the Tea party when convenient, why should anyone place complete trust in the Republicans or the GOP?

I have always considered myself a conservative first and a republican last. The basis of my cynicism stems largely from everything that I and others have witnessed in politics for nearly 50 years...yes, RINO's and progressive republicans do exist..they are not a figment of my imagination.

Yes, this is also largely about a ruling elite that has in large measure governed as a single unit for their own interest not ours. I have great reservations about political parties, the elites, and those in government in general. Our founding fathers shared these same concerns.

Yes, for the most part the Left in this country found a home in the Democratic party. The reality is they have been incredibly successful in the last century even gaining significant support or at least silence and consent from the oppositon party. Heck, Nixon was a big proponent of Keynesian economics!

Everything in the last three years has shown me that there are many republicans that pay lip service to Tea party beliefs and goals. There are many indications that they will throw this movement overboard when they are done using it.

So, I can not subscribe that the Democrats are the only enemy. Yes, they are the biggest enemy and the most dangerous given that it is now home to the New Left. But I can not turn a blind eye to their enablers and those that would compromise the basic principle of conservativism which are not extreme in the least but were and still are the founding principles of this nation.

You are right and I agree with you that we need to keep focus on the Dems. This why I am not in favor of these debates nor the sniping. Newt got it right.

As far as Quin, he has been guilty of just this, have you seen his articles this week? He has also been beating the drum for the DC crowd, Boehner, and the old boy network for some time. Any criticism of this group seems intolerable but it is fair game to go after anyone else..which seem to be those closely associated with the Tea party.

I am sure Quin thinks he is doing the right thing and all his efforts are not bad or off the mark. But I can not just sit idle and not confront him and others when I think he is not correct or telling the whole story.
