Hump Day Wild Card — 10.13.10

I’m going to attend the candidates’ forum, sponsored by the League of Women Voters, at 6:30 tonight at the Coeur d’Alene Library. I haven’t decided whether I’ll live-blog the event or not. After all, there are 6 debates. And not all of them are interesting. We’ll see. I’ll take my computer, just in case. I’m going to get out of here by 5:30 tonight to grab a bite and relax a bit. Now, to replay the Wild Card …

  • BTW: 32nd of 33 Chilean miners is now on his way to the surface …

    Two, count ‘em, two respected republicans! Respected so much they were the second and third runners up in the primary!

    Split right down the middle, that central committee is!

    What a facinating development!

    !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    At least they had the guts to actually run for office, and are willing to at least appear to have principles. How about you, LP, have any principles??

  • Cabbage Boy on October 13 at 1:20 p.m.

    Bob, what if you found out LP was an elected official? Then your hypocritical comment would be rather ironic.

    I have to wonder if those two making the loud noises while thumping their chests actually have ever handed out any literature door to door?

    Such a beautiful day out today. If you can get out for a walk, please do as we don’t have too many days left that are as nice as this. I sure loved Marmite’s comment on the wild card yesterday, it touched my heart a little bit and makes me feel good about what I do. The offer has always stood and will always stand, please come by for a chat and a beautiful walking stick anytime from me. My pleasure.

    CB -
    Have done just that. I was an elected official for over 15 years. You folks on the right should try to clean your own house.

    The Tea Party is destroying the Republican Party, not purifying it. I wish the Teabirthers would just form their own party instead of driving every moderate and pragmatic member out of the party. I used to be proud to vote a split ticket, but the Tea Party has ensured that this year - for the first time in my life - I will not vote for a single Republican in an election. We have too much to lose if we vote for the Tea Party.

    Hey Baggers - we need the diversity of opinion offered by the Democrats and the Republicans, and we need people who are willing to work with those with differing views. You Baggers don’t want to compromise with ANYone, and that makes you ideologically dangerous.

    Form your own party… let the fiscally conservative, socially progressive Republicans back in the party - or you will forever lose the independents who used to vote for you for fiscal reasons.

    Speaking of Teabirchers - a really interesting interview of the author of a piece connecting the Teabaggers of Today to the Birchers of Yore.

    I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again - what the the GOP needs right now is an intellectual like William F. Buckley, not morons like Sarah Palin.

    Larry Spencer, Dan Gookin, & DFO’s sharing the same in Coeur d’Alene Library … listening to debate. Larry arrived late. Dan left early. And my brain has turned to mush listening to Senate District 4 debate,
