Yeah, like a lot of people in politcs these days Kos puts his partisanship ahead of his principles. Which makes him no different than 90%of political junkies.

Von Bek, bullshit. You don't have to agree with someone 100% in order to support them but I can't imagine what Kos has in common with Crawford. Most people I know wouldn't do that much sacrificing of principles.

Yeah Kos is really out on a limb here which means that he is only supporting Crawford because of his party label. Or because Crawford is paying for an ad on his site. In which case Crawford may not be as conservative as we think he is. Or maybe the DNCC is paying for it.

You don't have to agree with someone 100% to support them. I suspect there are some Republicans who would look askew at Mayor Rudy-pro choice, pro same sex marriage, public adulterer and so on.

But here is the thing. I think a lot of conservatives can accept a Rudy for Mayor or an Arnold for Governor since they figure that while they may be liberals on a lot of issues, they have no control over those issues. Rudy can do nothing to further abortion as mayor of NYC. Crawford can do a lot on issues that one thinks would matter for Kos in the House. Maybe not as much as he could in the Senate or on the SCOTUS (which is after all where almost all power resides anyway).

But I stick by my remark about 90% of junkies. I think too many people root for their parties like they do football teams. Which is why I generally stick to blogs and sites that avoid partisan rah rahs-more Sullivan and Karol as opposed to the Nation or Weekly Standard.

Who else is Kos supposed to support in Georgia? Wackjob Cynthia McKinney? (who, I admit, he would probably support.) At least with a Democrat we would have someone that Daschle could strongarm into voting with the party.

Isn't that why you put up with Lincoln Chafee?

Von Bek, the issue of how much control the leader would have is certainly a consideration. The main reason I loved and still love Rudy is that he fixed our crime problem in a way no one thought possible. I don't care about everything else. A mayor is supposed to control crime, traffic and reputation of the city and not much else. As for the 90% of junkies rooting for one party of the other, you can look at other right-leaning political blogs to see that's not so. Check out instapundit or volokh. They're political but not rooting for anybody. Daily Kos reads like a DNC campaign blog.

Ugarte, I would work against Lincoln Chafee. I would work against Arlen Specter. I would not post their ads on my site. Who else should he support in GA? How about Denise Majette, running for US Senate? She's running on classic Democrat issues, even if she probably is more conservative than her NY or CA counterparts. And, Kos's opinions are almost identical to McKinney's, right down to the conspiracy theories.

No matter what this Crawford believes, if he goes to Congress, replacing a republican (and that happens ten more times in other districts) then we get speaker Pelosi instead of Denny "the Illinois' Republican party has no depth" Hastert.
I'm sure Kos is on board with that.

"Which is why I generally stick to blogs and sites that avoid partisan rah rahs-more Sullivan and Karol as opposed to the Nation or Weekly Standard."

Von Bek,

Are you serious? Karol's site couldn't be more "partisan rah rah"...well, I suppose if she actually started blogging from George W.'s butt, then maybe...and dude, with the convention in a couple of weeks I wouldn't put it past her to get that kind of access.

You need to blog surf around more if you think this site is at all "fair and balanced"...say here for instance.

I heard the best comment while in Georgia and it fits me very well: 'people that know me know two things about me, that I'm a die-hard Republican and that I hate the Republican party'. I'm not rah-rah at all, especially compared to the liberal bloggers. You know it's true too, Dawn, you don't read their sites at all yet surf all the right-leaning ones I link. Why do you suppose that is?

Oh, and Ms. Dawn 'No matter what this Crawford believes, if he goes to Congress, replacing a republican (and that happens ten more times in other districts) then we get speaker Pelosi instead of Denny "the Illinois' Republican party has no depth" Hastert' Summers, I supported Toomey over Specter even if it meant losing the Senate. Who's rah-rah now?

Oh, Karol is not that much of a rah rah (especially given her line of work). I've taken a few jabs at her from the right on social issues where this John Tyler states rights Whig is more in line with the Republican platform than the Republican here.

And there are some right wing sites that trash the Republican Party and I do read a bit of them. But yeah there are some sites and way too many magazines, newspapers and news shows that have been written by the DNC and RNC.

" 'people that know me know two things about me, that I'm a die-hard Republican and that I hate the Republican party'.

OH MY GOSH!! I totally hate the Republican party too!!!! Let's be best friends.

No. I hate you.

But you hate the Republican party more.

Southern is southern, and all southern conservatives are alike, Republican or Democrat. Look at the careers of John Stennis or Richard Russell for illustrations.
