Diane I've seen congressman dr. Paul weather the storm of the primaries but shows he is still in the game. What do your guests feel about this or are they still ignoring the wealth of support he has
Wow, an hour and a half too late. Yep, Dr Paul is way out there alone in the John Bircher lifeboat, not accumulating delegates.
As far as my wasting time responding to slow wing debaters with multiple identities and martinet technique it ain't gonna happen. I'm here to hear DRShow, not serve as your looking glass. You can see what you are in every mirror, but just can't accept it.

"Strident talking points? Care to substantiate that with an example, Pancake?
Or do you just prefer to make general spurious charges to try to play to the emotions of other posters?"

Yes, the Republican Party is a party of marketing. Citizens are only consumers. We bleed and die in Afghanistan and Iraq so we are free to consume the left overs when we get home, and the abuse of the Christians Tea Partiers, as our families have to quit work, if they have a job, to slog us over to the VA hospital, wherever it is. They get sick, and being uninsured, still rejoice in trying to keep their children alive. They are the 'undeserving poor' the food stamp consumers, who must stay out of sight of the tea baggers. Even the University of Virginia is just an outpost of Bob Jones University, issuing marketing degrees to the FFV 'First Families of Virginia' and the private schoolers who find the same sports and leisure accommodations that they do in their gated neighborhoods. The tuition of state schools, like UVA and other ACC schools pays for the first class lifestyle of the marketing class. They must be entertained, and gated, and pampered. It is like church camp for a mega church in Texas. Marketing degrees abound in those who belittle we 'undeserving poor,' the provider of troops to serve and protect. They are only seen with us if they are getting their picture taken for the social page. If only the forefathers knew we would be relegated to the 'consumer' class, and all over aspects of common decency would be vacated by 'the party of Lincoln.' Rock on Bob Jones University of the Albemarle. It is time for Swamp Fox to arise again like a phoenix, to call us to action to protect our homeland from the encroachment of the 'locusts', the 'despoilers', the 'job creators.' The only jobs available now and in the future is to clean up after them and service their needs, to be neither seen or nor heard.
Longfeather, you are delirious.
OK, that was unfair, Longfeather. Here is a more thoughtful answer:
The source of all that is moral has been chased out of our schools and out of the public square - and you wonder why people don't do what is right? You reap what you sow.
"Those who will not be controlled by God will by ruled by tyrants." - William Penn
What mystifies me is, why anyone is surprised at what our country has become. When God is, in actuality removed, something else will, and has, filled the void.
Take offense at being called Communists?? If your not communists then what are you? accept it, you are what you are.
Isn't there any control over the foul mouthed posters here?
I take my lessons on how to behave morally from a grandfather that went on the beaches after the marines in the Pacific as a naval corpman, and a Grandmother that raised a dozen, and always took the slightest crumb to the birds. If you take care of the least among you, etc., etc... always under threat of mortal sin from the ecclesiastical types.
I have no need to listen to bobbleheads.

Hey Rankin: maybe you can share some of that income from the Trust you live on that your grandparents made due to capitalism. Better yet why not hire some of those unemployed po folks to work on that
farm you inherited.
You can shuttle them to and from in your Prius from some inter-city neighborhood. Any takers?

Yea and she's a train wreck too.
Johandere, you are possessed by a Superpac. Hope they pay well. The old 'C' street abode saw lots of action from other graduates of Bob Jones University.

Discrepancies in flapjacks self description, who knows what were dealing with here besides being wrong. All I know is she is getting away with what others were banned for.
This tax payer funded program is banning the use of this forum from uncomfortable opposition, no surprise really.
I think that is a good description for jerry-mandering, too. Coming from a Jim Crow state undercover, but still thriving, I know about the trap door being nailed shut. I am only hoping the good people of Virginia provide some transportation money so the Navy families can evacuate this city when our loved ones leave the harbor to protect the ships. It would be best for Navy families to live over in Hampton or Newport News and use water taxi's to get to the base, then we can stay off the roads, and away from the local people and their ways. That way we can already be out of Dodge City, and our deployed ones won't have to worry about us being abused by the locals. Hopefully, the Navy will provide some swift boats so we can get to the base, and keep our families out of harms way in Ye ole Tidewater. Maybe the US House of Representatives will find it in their hearts to provide these swift boats for us, since they won't provide for our evacuation out of here. After all, most of the able bodied seamen come from the heartland. Only the officers have Charleston, and Connecticut connections.
Although i wouldn't let Newt clean my kitchen, I sure took umbrage that
ultra-liberal Diane and her liberal posse failed to comment on his vehement denial of the open marriage allegation made by 2nd spouse when addressiong the first email Monday. Did it ever to occur to you slimy subversives that you might gain cred if you were not so biased? (Oops, did I provide them a route to further liberal promotion?)

Why is it the left must always resort to personal attacks?
I don't give a flying f- about Superpacs. I calls 'em as I sees 'em, Longfeather. I don't point fingers or assign blame. My only point is, we have chased God out of the schools and out of the public square and our country has declined to a level of moral deparavity not seen since Rome. That's just a fact - and I don't get why that is so mystifying. I don't know why you have to have a nasty response to that.
Hello Diane
I listen every day and seldom agree with your politics but I respect you and your guests' opinions. I know you pride yourself on your balanced unbiased approach, so I wanted to point out that you are betraying your personal feelings a little lately by sounding outraged that a "serial adulterer" would win a primary. I'm not crazy about the guy either but I think you should take it with these grains of salt...John Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy, Ted Kennedy, Bill Clinton, FDR, and so forth.
Your show is still very good and you always make me think. When you focus on Romney's taxes, you can redeem yourself by making it clear he paid $3 Million Dollars in 2010, rather than bemoaning his tax rate.
