Republican Party starts to kill its own

FR7 Baptist · Aug 12, 2010

There are landmarks all over our city named after LaGuardia and Javits and Rockefeller, names out of the city's great Republican past, when the party was one of intelligence, not fear-mongering and hate. When its membership included even the great name put to the Jackie Robinson Parkway.

The current Republican Party, one hijacked by hustlers and extremists, not only looks to destroy President Obama. It even starts to kill its own.

Rep. Bob Inglis, a voice of reason at a dumb, unreasonable time in American politics, is one of them. Inglis (R-S.C.) will be out of a job soon for not hating Barack Obama nearly enough. The irony, he says, is that he disagrees with Obama on almost everything.

Inglis, a conservative Republican from a state so red you worry it might set itself on fire, used to go after Bill Clinton with everything he had. But these days he comes up an even better American than a Republican, speaking his own mind, refusing to join a chorus of idiots and call Obama his enemy, or an enemy of the state. Inglis' state or anybody else's.

"I figured out early in the race I was taking a risk by being unwilling to call the President a socialist," Inglis says. "I'd get asked a question and they'd all wait to see if I'd use the word - socialist - they were throwing around. I wouldn't. Because I don't think that's what he is.

So he only becomes an "even better American" because he doesn't condemn the President. He'd get a Nobel prize if he actually started supporting him.

Maybe he lost because he wasn't a good representative of his constituents.

So because this guy lost his primary - that means that the "Republican Party starts to to kill it's own"?

I can't even find the words to describe how idiotic that article is.

He made mistakes injudgement , opposed Bush at the wrong time and supported Obama when he shouldn't have,

Basically he misread the pulse of his constitutients and is paying the price.

That's politics.

OTOH Democrats protect and nurture their crooks.

Just a difference in philosophy.
