who is more representative of their party?

[Joe Republic]

BRTD, I seriously hope you're joking.

Iraq War - Opebo supports reinstating Saddam Hussein with reparations, as well as keeping the "nasty Shi'ites" in line.

Economics - Opebo is basically a Marxist here.

Abortion - Opebo isn't just pro-choice here, he actually seems to encourage women to do it.

Other social issues - pedophilia.  Need I say more?

I guess you have a seriously deluded view of your own party if you think Opebo is a representative of its mainstream positions.

I still think most Democrats would be offended by the thought of Opebo being truly representative of your party.  Except for the elitist liberal types who also cast down their poorly judged views on 'poors' and 'blacks' from their ivory towers.  I'm sure they wouldn't mind at all.

Actually, I was talking about the type of liberal that lost an election last year.  People like John Kerry, Ted Kennedy and I guess Opebo, are the type of people who are happy to preach about raising taxes to help the poor and such, or are happy to let their hearts bleed openly for the sake of the less fortunate, but at the same time aren't prepared to share a single dime of their massive wealth to the same people.

What the hell is going on here, when Opebo and Bullmoose are considered closely representative of their respective parties' mainstream?  It probably would have helped to pick two people who aren't derided by other forum members from their own party.  As I've already said, many Democrats would be offended to have Opebo carry the Democratic party's banner, and so many forum Republicans have called a Bullmoose a liberal RINO that I've lost count.
