Not very many straight arrows in the GOP quiver these days, and Noonan trying out the old false equivalance argument sure isn't going to hit the mark. Conservatives have a LOT of work to do these days if they ever want to regain lost credibility, but they sure don't seem to be putting their backs into it yet.JSpencernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36404602.post-33964889405198459662010-05-01T16:58:43.130-04:002010-05-01T16:58:43.130-04:00Easily the best post title I've seen on the su...Easily the best post title I've seen on the subject. <br /><br />And I'd love to hear how the "loyal opposition" has been "fueling of racial and ethic hatreds" for the past year. Really, I would. It seems to me that the only time I hear race mentioned its from the left, and they are usually calling people like me (i.e. conservatives) RAAAAAAACIST for no reason other than we're conservatives. It's bizarre and very insulting. Or it was. You know, before "RAAAAACIST" was sucked dry of any meaning at all by its flagrant overuse by lefties who call everyone that . . . without grounds to do so.Fuzzy Slippershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13021615731454709413noreply@blogger.com
