The real nastiness in politics began when Pat Robertson began injecting his personal preferences and hatreds into the political scene Why do you assume Robertson hates anyone? You are obviously prejudiced. I am not an Evangelical, but I perceive Robertson as a gentleman who merely seeks his place at the table in public policy discourse. I think the current round of nastiness began with the character assassination of Robert Bork and John Tower, and the attempted Borking of Clarence Thomas. The left is far more ruthless than the right.

and no government involvment in private matters (morals, religion, and health issues). But missing from that list of thing government is to keep hand off is private property. Isn't that interesting? And why in the world is health issues on the list? Socializing health care is the crown jewel of the liberal agenda.

The real nastiness in politics began when Pat Robertson began injecting his personal preferences and hatreds into the political scene. Perhaps you may be too young to remember but the real nastiness began in 1964 when LBJ ran that atom bomb scare ad against Goldwater. It worked, and politics has never been the same.

HaHaHA. That's either the funniest or most nieve statement I have read in a long time. It's so much easier for special interests to bribe their way through the states one by one than it is to tug and pull on the limited number of national figures. What's easier one stop shopping or making 50 stops? You think the price of a state legislator is 1/50th of that of a US Congressman? You really don't in your heart of hearts belive in self government do you? Every once in a while it slips out like the statement above or Clinton's about why he doesn't like tax cuts - no guarantee people will spend it right.
