Reply #87: absolutely, I completely don't trust them

but I'm thankful for the support and think we are better off to refrain from kicking them in the teeth and listening to see if they become one of us.

As did Huffington, Brock, Dean (I think, mostly). I don't fully trust any of them but I welcome them to the light...and the party. I just wouldn't actively recommend any of them for office.

Dean and Sullivan are still conservatives. I don't think Brock or Huffington are but I'd still not want any of them carrying our banner or holding high office as I'll probably never trust any of them.

I like that Sullivan trashes not only bush/cheney/rumsfeld each and every day, he trashed the religious right each day and he has better arguments than I do because he knows the bible.

He also trashes Malkin and other ridiculous right wingers. He posts their most outrageous comments on his blog and points out why they are so stupid. That way, I can just read Sullivan and know what the right wing nut cases are posting and how to counter them (additional arguments.)

He thinks Counter is despicable and has been highly critical of the Wall Street Journal editorial page. He never misses an opportunity to point out how awful John Yoo, Jonah Goldberg and Ramesh (sp?) are and many other conservatives.

He is so angry about the torture issue he can't see straight. (I'll overlook the obvious joke.)

I honestly thought he was going to give Bush a pass after he was so upset about the gay marriage deal but he hasn't. He'll probably never be a liberal but if strong military and balanced budget are his only two "conservative" values, I can live with that. Maybe he can help us take our country back. that's all I want.
