I notice the weak-ass sissy argument is to always change the topic when you don’t like the subject, and when that doesn’t work …. then just use exclamation points!

Seriously, do you think it’s helping the budget at all for idiotarian pundits to call Obama’s SC nominee a racist. Please explain to me how you are connecting the two. Perhaps it’s through some bizarre legerdemain only beancounters are aware of.

I’m saying there’s a false dichotomy at work here. For instance, I don’t think Sotomayor is a racist but she did make a racist remark. You don’t build your tent by trying to having an intra-conservative name calling. You build the tent by blending the more conservative and moderate wings of the party and then pitching what you believe to independents.

We have the added benefit of knowing that independents agree with us on issues like limited government, federalism, budget deficits etc. Let’s start using that to our advantage.
