      I suppose you could say the same thing about RFK Jr.

      "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        It makes sense that Dems would consider a 1% republican and 99% democrat, a republican. They're all about ideological purity.

        Education is extremely important.

          I think I already did, right here.

            Yeah that’s me, left wing ideological purist.

            The most interesting thing about your comment to me was the concession that helping Putin rebuild the Russian Empire is now Republican policy.

            Though the good news is GOP voters aren’t there yet, even if their presidential candidates are (last time I checked anyway)

              I was going with whatever nonsense you posted, for the sake of discussion.

                I wonder how West is polling.

                Folks who think like him do not seem to understand how the world works. If we are not aggressively pursuing our own interests others will still be pursuing theirs. Disengagement equals disaster.

                  He appears to be somewhat out-of-touch with reality. All that 'brother this' and 'brother that' is like something out of the 1960's.

                  I was only joking
