The only bad part about Specter leaving, is that he did not take Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins with him.

Though I will admit that on occasion I do delete comments that I find extremely ridiculous or vulgar, but this was not the case with yours --- for the most part.
The marginally left? Really?
Anybody with half a brain knows that Barack Obama is the most, far left POTUS that we have ever had. Furthermore, anybody who actually honest to goodness believes that Adolf Hitler’s policies were “Right Wing,” is either completely devoid of any knowledge of history, or is a leftist that is trying to disassociate Hitler’s leftist beliefs from their own.
You do know that the full name of the Nazi party is the “National Socialist German Workers' Party.” don’t you? Yeah that’s very “Right Wing” all right.
The 25 point Platform launching Hitler’s Nazi party in 1920 included among them:
- the nationalization of industry
- a large scale expansion of welfare
- nationalized healthcare
- abolishing any form of income that comes from interest (i.e. stocks, bonds, and capitol gains)
Oh yeas, all very “right wing” things. No, they are all ideas firmly rooted in socialism, as well was Adolph Hitler’s beliefs --- which were not 100% socialism per se, but were certainly an offshoot of socialistic ideology.
Which President recently forced the head of general Motors to resign? And is seeking a much larger government control on Wall Street and a much larger government stake in the banking system. Why that would be Obama.
Who wants to further expand the welfare rolls and bring us nationalized Health Care? Once again, Obama.
Who has said he wants to raise the capitol gains tax to over 30%, even though thorough history, the lower the tax on capitol gains, the MORE money the government takes in? Why that would be Obama, who said in an Interview that he wants to do it for “fairness.”
You see, for the last 8 years Conservatives have had to watch idiot, moronic liberals compare George W. Bush to Hitler but have absolutely 0 facts to back those claims up.
Now, in Barack Obama we have an actual American President that you can compare to Hitler and Mussolini, using actual honest to goodness facts --- and the left just doesn’t like the truth.

Your comment/rant is really just a vent on Republicans and trying to make the claim --- albeit in a roundabout way, that republicans need to be more like liberal democrats in their views.
Although your rant really makes no sense, and I disagree with what you have to say, as well as what I assume is your political views based on this rant, I’ll leave it up because there is really nothing out of line.
Though, even though this has absolutely nothing to do with the posting in which these comments appear --- I do have to make mention of your Eisenhower quote, which is one that I have seen brought up by liberals for the past few years in their attacks on George W. Bush. Eisenhower was a small-government republican, for the most part. But he was, and especially still is to this day even more so, the type of “republican” that democrats claim to admire --- because he did not have the same amount of disdain for government that Conservatives have. Notice how I said, “Conservatives” and not republicans.
I don’t go around, and neither do the vast majority of Conservatives, telling the democratic party what particular democrat they need to model themselves after, but that is exactly what liberal democrats always attempt to do republicans, and recently Eisenhower is the direction they claim the party should take.
I am barely even a republican as it is, but let me tell you that if Eisenhower is the direction that the GOP decides too shift itself towards --- I’d completely severe any inkling of ties that I may have to the party.
Back to your comments/rant, which once again had absolutely nothing to do with the post in which they were made. From what I have read in your rant, I would gather that it is safe to assume that your are an individual who believes that society, through the use of government --- has an obligation to meet the social needs of the people. I further gather that it would probably be safe to assume that you are the type of person that may hold the belief that not just does society, through government have an obligation to meet these social needs, but that you probably believe that it is a so-called fundamental “right” for people to have “free” health care, “free” housing, “free” education, “free” retirement benefits, etc…
If I am wrong on that, maybe I misinterpreted your rant, but I don’t think that I am.
So, assuming that I am right with your beliefs, I will have to say that our differences come down to principles. My beliefs, which I believe to be the Conservative way of thinking --- and your beliefs, which I am assuming to be the liberal way (at least the modern day version of the term) way of thinking, are completely opposite of one another.
Since you brought up Gerald Ford, and had glowing things to say about him, and you are fond of quoting past republican Presidents when you believe it suits your argument, I’ll supply you with a quote of President Ford --- one of his greatest quotes in my opinion.
While addressing a joint session of Congress in the summer of 1974, he had this to say:
“A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have.”
So when you say that, “From the last 4 Republican presidents, the one who best represents the Republican ideals was the who was not elected, Gerald Ford.” At least when it comes to the two Bush’s, I would have to agree.
That above quote by Ford does best represent what should be the republican view point but hasn’t been the past decade, but so very much needs to be today with a man like Obama in the office.
