Just the idiots who smashed the windows of small business owners at the WTO riots in Seattle don't represent all liberals...

There you go again, furthering your party's propaganda point that conflates liberalism with violence. It's totally illegitimate, but so effective that we can't really blame you for keeping it rolling.

As for your assertion that "this dying ideology is hardly representative of the GOP as a whole, its rank and file members," this is demonstrably false. According to Quinnipiac, northward of 80% of Republicans in battleground states will vote for the extremist McCain/Palin ticket that your party is attempting to thrust on the American people. Can you think of any reason to believe that the saturation will be any lower in other states?

You say, "What you are witnessing is the beginning of the end for the neoconservatives." Does this mean that you do not see the nominees of your party as neocons? If so, would you mind pointing out the difference between their platform and the current neocon administration? I must confess I can't find much in the way of divergence between your party's proposals and the policies of the Bush Administration.

Every time I attempt to reply to you, the comment seems to vanish in the abyss that is TPM Cafe's interface. It's almost as frustrating as you are.

But what a lot of undocumented, opinionated, ill-conceived conservative propaganda you offer in such a compact, compacted turd of a post.

You say, "Just [as] the idiots who smashed the windows of small business owners at the WTO riots in Seattle don't represent all liberals..." [emphasis added]

Here you go again. This is the second time in the last few days that you have tried to further your party's line that conflates liberalism with violence and stupidity. Have you no shame? The people to whom you refer do not represent ANY liberals. They represent anti-free-traders, a group whose membership spans parties and ideologies and I daresay is more heavily represented by those to whom you refer to as "the middle" and to whom a liberal would refer as right-wingers.

You say, "this dying ideology is hardly representative of the GOP as a whole, its rank and file members..."

This is nonsense and I would be startled to learn that you don't know it. Those who are registered Republicans are fully committed to the neoconservative ideology. According to Quinnipiac, members of your party in four battleground states favor the extremist McCain/Palin ticket in majorities that exceed eighty percent. I have no reason to believe that the fanatic loyalty of the vast majority of your party's members would be lower elsewhere. Do you?

You say, "What you are witnessing is the beginning of the end for the neoconservatives."

I beg your pardon? What is it about your party's nominees that separates them from the neocons? Have you read your own party's platform? Can you provide just one or two examples where it diverges from the policies advanced by the Bush/Cheney administration?

You say, "If you all push too hard on the left, the pendulum will go right past that sweet spot in the center." You call it a sweet spot. I call it a rotten spot, and wish that Americans had the sense to recognize it for what it is and excise it. The pendulum in the United States is so far to the right that liberals must push as hard as we can just to slow its progress even further to the right.
