Interesting, thank you, especially about the "immigration rift".

There are no "paleoconsevatives" on FR and damn few real "libertarians". I know of one Paleo left on that board with posting privs and he keeps a damn low profile these days. It is GOPER hack site filled with hateful sick people. They are on a par with Archie Bunker as their views are that stupid but they lack his humanity and basically good heart. They are evil Bunkers basically.

i was at a meeting with Melissa Bean and Jan Schakowsky, two congresswomen from the Chicagoland area. Jan is from Evanston, which is probably as liberal as Cambridge, but Bean beat Phil Crane in a district that is roughly 80 percent Republican. I was chatting with her afterwards and she said her political hero as a kid was Goldwater. She didn't agree with him on everything, but on most things, more or less like me.

She said that despite the reign of terror in DC, she's been able to make friends with several of the real conservatives, and that they are absolutely fed up, but that if they cross DeLay and Smirk, they will be targeted and brought down.

I think we got a WWII scenerio going here. For a long time it looked like the Nazis were invincible, they had the German people absolutely convinced that this was a war for survival (even though they started it). Then it all collapsed on them.

Rove has made Bean the main target for 2006, because she beat a major power who had been in congress for 35 years (and only reappeared in Illinois for a few days every two years). Which is odd, because she is fairly conservative in a lot of her views. She was in Washington for orientation in December and got handed a newspaper with a headline that Bean was the No. 1 target, and she hadn't even been sworn in.

I really think these guys have over reached. I may be a democrat now, but I'm mostly an anti-Republican. But I doubt I would go after the essentially decent guys like Lugar. But to Rove, it was one major setback in an otherwise successful run and he wants revenge. He ain't going to get it; Crane's district is old-fashioned republicans with morals and all kinds of inconvenient things. She beat a 35-year incumbant like a cheap drum in the most Republican district in Illinois. And in her first four months in office, donations have been pouring in. She's already raised $500K for her next run without even having a fundraiser. Just people mailing her checks, saying, you're gonna need this when they come after her.

I may be a democrat now, but I'm mostly an anti-Republican.

Both political parties collude with each other to maintain their monopoly and to maximize their collective power. Every time they collude, totalitarianism results, but is hidden from you because you think that your party has an ideology because you do. 2 ideologies were presented to you as a kid and you were forced to pick 1 while rejecting the other. The faster you recognize this, the faster you can really be free. Listen to Hannity tomorrow. He controls millions by use of party the parties collude but you have never realized this. sheep. Unless you realize that the 2 party system is enslaving you, this post will make no sense.

If you have held many of the same liberal beliefs for years, they are likely not yours. I believed every rep plank and naturally rejected the lib ones. Try to think back to when you selected each position on merit. You will see that you cannot. They were forced on you and you accepted them. The parties colluded years ago by distributing issues along the lines of the ideology

Good on Crane.

Thanks for this information.
