  Trying to hold my tongue, but listening to these two is like eavesdropping on Martians.

  God it's painful listening to these republicans. They are so misinformed.

  small government = 3rd world in North AMerica

  I know you have to be fair but this is why republicans scare me. This is stupid and mind numbing.

  I find it ironic that this woman is saying that McCain is too liberal and not trust worthy while Romney is trust worthy and a staunch conservative. Romney has flip flopped on every single issue and was extremely liberal as governer of Massachusets.

  It's interesting listening to Republicans to hear their thinking process but yeah they do seem to be living on a completely different planet

  In the interests of civility, it all comes down to taxes with Republicans. Strip away the vague "integrity" and "stick to his guns" clap-trap, and all the rank and file care about is their taxes.

  Unless they're pro-life... and then I'll zip it.

  These people would all vote for Bush again if it were possible. So scary.

  I just have to speak up about all this talk about needing someone with "conviction" who doesn't pay any attention to polls and public opinion. The President is a public searvant and SHOULD listen to what the people want! That's the job!

  We have some one in the office right now who pays no attention to the people and look at the mess we're in. "Staying the course" with close-minded ignorance is NOT the best strategy.

  
  
• [15] Mark from Brooklyn February 01, 2008 - 11:26AM

  Amen, Joan. All we need is another clown who wins by 1% and thinks s/he has a mandate. Good luck, everyone.

  Did he just say , "Doctor Savage" in reference to Michael Weiner? It must have been "di**wad savage". That guy can't be a doctor!

  This great, Republicans are just digging a bigger whole to fit their hole party in. How can anyone be against McCain - Feingold? or say Mitt is steadfast on his views and doesn't flop according to the poll of the day.

  
  
• [18] Sean Pisano from Brooklyn February 01, 2008 - 11:30AM

  I have to say every time a Republicans gets in a place of power our country goes right into the toilet.

  Does anyone remember the Regan 80's I remember being scared all the time I remember lots of people dying, I remember the family financial struggles.

  Wake up Republicans why do you think we are falling behind the rest of the world.

  i want to agree with joan (15) the polls are the people.

  senator from NY has a philosophy romney does not. he's ran to the right for the nomination he's as fake as his ken doll tan.

  NYT endorsement is irrelevant. REad it. It was the weakest endorsement which I have ever read. They felt like they had to endorse someone.

  Listening to these Republicans gives me hope that we'll actually have a Democrat in the White House next year. They are amazingly confused and apparently in complete disarray as a party. They've been swallowing this "no tax" nonsense for so long that the cognitive dissonance has overwhelmed their ability to think straight. Thank you Brian for giving them a chance to show the world how empty their rhetoric really is.

  To our conservative fellow-citizens, some questions:

  Whatever your political principles may be---& I'd be delighted to know what they are---

  "how do you see the Bush administrations as having been faithful to them?"

  To those who declare themselves as for "smaller government",

  "by what measure can you argue that government today under Bush's administrations is "smaller" than under Bill Clinton or Jimmy Carter?"

  "Does the vast and ever-growing National Security State we're seeing built under Bush comport with your ideas of "smaller government"?"

  "Can you explain to us how your acquiescence to Bush and Cheney's policies of surveillance is not a demonstration of a complete failure to hold a government to what have long been viewed as the proper limits within which it is obliged to operate?"

  Excellent, excellent segment. This was a great experiment in interactive radio and I hope we hear a lot more of it--with Republicans, Democrats, libertarians, anarchists, active U.S. military personnel, whoever. This is a great tool for democracy.

  Also, as a major lefty, I don't understand what the other posters on this page were so frightened by. People, if you think those 4 callers were espousing far-right positions, you're not getting out of Williamsburg much.
