      I have huge problems with Scarborough but at least he's trying to approach the 21st century and advance the conservative movement with an acceptable, socially moderate platform.

        Scarborough only does this though for a quick minute and then turns right back into being the "loyal" conservative, right-winged Republican. And when Joe does this little side-stepping on Morning Joe, we immediately send off our emails letting him know how we did "NOT" buy it. LOL

        A conservative, right-winged Republican is "ALWAYS" a conservative, right-winged Republican - period.

        I missed the memo where being Conservative also meant being socially Moderate. Conservative is Conserative. Being a socially moderate Conservative is a bad concept...ask McCain.

          You are completely wrong. Most "social conservatives" want government to regulate people's actions using some sort of made up moral laws. That's not Conservative; that's plain stupidity.

        Yes on this issue, Scarborough is the only reasonable person in my own party. Certainly Rush does not speak for me. I recall Rush's drug abuse, his trips to have meetings with condoms in hand, his vulgar talk and his hate filled meandering. He certainly does NOT represent this Republican because you see, I want the Obama administration to thrive all for the good of our country. Frankly the last Republicans in charge left huge messes and hocked our grandkids futures for years to come. And Rush thinks he has a right to blab about Democrats. In Scripture, there is a verse about cleaning up the log in ones own eyes rather than worrying about the speck in other's eyes.

        I often have problems with Scarborough, who can be an egotistical gasbag. But every now and then he will turn moderate and make sense on something, and then I will like him until his next turn as a gasbag. I saw him go off on David Shuster once on the morning show on MSNBC, and I didn't like him for weeks after that.

        "Neutered chickified moderate" Now that is an inclusive slogan to separate the white meat eaters from the red in the GOP. And of course no self-respecting women allowed.
        RUSH IS THE LEADER OF THE GOP.

        I agree. I disagree with a lot of Scarborough's positions, but he is BY FAR the only voice of reason remotely coming from the right. That Rush's would criticize him this way only supports this judgement.

        So what if they're inbred? I thought you guys are the ones who advocate sex between anyone, anytime, anywhere, including 16 year olds with older men, and that everyone should stay out of the bedroom? Inbreds, homos, lesbos, bisexuals, trannies are one of your voting bases. Why would you make fun of them?

              The combo you sorta list (all five at the same time?) are illegal where I live. As are more normal definitions of incest. I'm good with that.
              If sons, daughters, and cousins, must be activly included for sex betwee moms and dads I gotta say you live in a strange world and I'd probably run away screaming at any offer you might have regarding bed time.
              Any other sexual fantasies you'd care to thoughtlessly throw arround?

                Marriage between gays is illegal where I live. I find your world strange, too. While incest is illegal here, gay marriage is also illegal. The difference is the left here want to make gay marriage legal, but leave out the other weirdo groups. Why the discrimination? If everybody is consenting and of age, what's the harm? I'm not advocating any of this, but why are you drawing the line at homosexuals only?


                Once you guys open the door to allow freaks, the rest will follow. And just guessing, but thinking they are mostly D's and Libs. You guys are stuck with them.

                  Gay rights are incomplete today. I fail to see any minus side to their attaiment in the future. As to the rest of the people who you identify as the other weirdo groups. I'll take them on a case by case basis.
                  The transgender, intersexual, fuzzy sexuals, and assexuals, I'm ok with full civil rights for any of them. Amoral, unlawful, and uneithical actions by any of them lead to the same possible loss of civil rights that would result from identical acts by heterosexuals.
                  Do you think the sexual mores of the classical Greeks held them back in relation to any other society. And frankly I'm not a fan of those sexual mores. Non the less they were a highly sucessfull group in comparison to any society you care to name.
                  The vib I'm getting from you is revulsion of other sexual identities besides the one you say you occupy. That seems like a silly way to run a society. Tell me why you think this a rational position to operate one from.

                  This is the issue here; homosexuality CANNOT be compared to incest or any other fetishistic act. There are real reasons that incest, bestiality, etc. are illegal. The only reason that gay marriage is illegal in most states is this disgusting mindset you espouse. You treat homosexuality like a choice. It's not. This is not up for discussion. Stop being a bigot and take you head out of the bible and realize that what you're denying here are basic civil rights for a large minority.

                    I haven't read the bible. But comparing weird sex acts to other weird sex acts seems like a no brainer. Show the stats for your "large minority". And how does one have a large minority anyway? Would that not just be a minority?

                      By your definition homosexuality is a "weird sex act". You are being narrow minded and bigoted. You also are not defining homosexuality correctly. It's not a "weird sex act", it's a lifestyle that people DO NOT get to choose. Learn what you're talking about before you open your mouth.

                I, personally, do not 'like' any thing but man/woman intercourse. I have the power, with my vote, to vote for my belief.
                Now, if someone gets elected stating a different position, I will re evaluate my choice and may vote for a different person.
                But, in the end, the law is the law, regardless of my personal preferences.

          Interesting comment. Please cite someone - someone specific that you are aware of - who has advocated "sex between anyone, anytime, anywhere." I know of no such person. Is this what they call a "strawman," or are you just being obtuse?

              Dave, I am somewhat skeptical of your statement "Where I live it is illegal". For starters, the name "Dave" doesn't really correspond with any country other than a country which would have homosexuality legal.

              Second, if you do not live in the USA, or are part of it as a citizen, why on Earth are you here posting on US politics?

              Thirdly, If where ever you live that is "not" the United States, if homosexuality is still foolishly being prohibited, it wont be prohibited for long. So I suggest you join the year 2009 and stop surrounding yourself in some form of archaic and illogical self induced morality.

      I like how, for Rush, "moderate" is a bad word. The opposite of moderate, of course, is extremist. So, Rush, you are acknowledging pro-extremism. Well, at least you have publicly clarified this -- as though we didn't already know. By the way fellow media matters readers, have you noticed how on comment boards like this one the conservative voice evaporates? Does this show that an argument is being made for us by Rush or that they only take cheap potshots when they can, rather than respond to actual discourse?
