George Allen is a racist, pure and simple. In fact it was Allen's people who designed the "genius" attack ad against Harold Ford, accusing him of sleeping with white women. Apparently they think Americans are backward redneck cretins with no ethics. Shows how little they know. As for Santorum, he's now busying LYING that he was against Bush on Iraq and claims he wanted to be even tougher. In fact he wants to start World War III just to prove hos tough he is. And clearly Santorum is some kind of closet case. Santorum is also the most corrupt member of the senate and rubber-stamped everything Bush-Cheney told him to. As a result both Bush-cheney and Santorum betrayed their country. They are supposed to serve the people, not just themselves. Eveything that goes around comes around, doesn't it?

Conservative icon Richard Vigeurie says GOP offers conservative voters nothing this election, Democratic House may help cut back on spending by John in DC - 10/26/2006 09:11:00 PM Richard Viguerie is commonly considered the father of direct mail marketing. He is one of "the" gurus of the entire conservative movement, going back decades. Note that in this email he just sent to his list he not only blasts the Republicans, in shockingly harsh language, as offering voters nothing, he also says that it would probably be better if the Dems wont back one house of Congress. And one final, very telling point. Viguerie provides a list of issues the GOP must focus on in order to win back ec economic and social conservatives - yet he doesn't mention one single social issue of concern to those who are commonly considered "social conservatives," the religious right. Abortion and gays are missing totally from his list. So are school prayer, the Ten Commandments, flag burning and pretty much every other issue the religious right cares and screams about. We are witnessing the beginnings of a Republican civil war that is very much at odds with the current GOP leadership and the religious right. Here's a portion of Viguerie's email (read the entire email/release here): Richard A. Viguerie, Chairman of ConservativeHQ.com, warned Republicans that scare tactics against Democrats will not succeed in increasing social or economic conservative voters on Election Day. “The big-spending, high-deficit, morally-deficient Republican Party hasn’t anything to offer conservatives except Halloween scare tactics about the Democrats. But since the GOP majority in Congress has engaged in an unprecedented spending spree, conservatives know that Democrats cannot be any worse and that divided government may lead to less spending,” Viguerie said. “And conservatives have learned that, while Republicans sometimes provide significant symbolism on social issues, in truth, many of them have a disdain for values voters,” he added. “Trying to frighten conservatives by yelling ‘Nancy Pelosi’ and ‘Harry Reid’ won’t work this time."

Lynne Cheney wrote lesbian scenes in a novel. Scooter Libby wrote about pedophilia and bestiality. So what? McCain praised Webb's book as an accurate depiction of war in Vietnam. The real question is, how could George Allen be so wrong about Iraq and many other issues as Bush's #1 rubberstamp in the senate? And if you want to get into books, Allen's own sister wrote an autobiography calling George a lifelong sadist and bully. That's from his own sister. And it's NON-fiction. Webb's books are fiction, though partly based on his combat experiences in Vietnam. No major Bushie leader ever served in Vietnam. The GOP seems to be terrified they're going to lose both houses, because they're acting like they hav nothing to lose, they might as well throw every bit of imaginary mud they can think of in our faces just to stink up the entire room. Same thinbg they did with Kerry's military career in 2004, just dreamt up a bunch of disgusting nonsense.
