One Decent Repub Out There (Hint: It's Not John McCain) Issues Beyond Palo Alto, posted by Will Wonders Never Cease?, a resident of the College Terrace neighborhood, on Oct 10, 2008 at 12:41 pm
Sen. Norm Coleman's (R-MN) U.S. Senate campaign announced it is pulling all of its negative advertisements off the airwaves, according to The Hill.
Said Coleman: "I decided that I was not all that interested in returning to Washington for six years based on the judgment of voters that I was not as bad as the other two guys. I want folks to vote for me, not against the other guys."
Wow, what a concept: Actually wanting people to vote for you, rather than against your opponent!
Of course, upon hearing of such outlandish behavior, I'm sure the Repubs will kick him out of the party, calling him a traitor to the GOP cause.

Democrats always have room for apostates - they took in McCain, didn't they? [see Gang of 14]

The entire point of the Gang of 14 was that it was bipartisan -- 7 of each. I'm not sure why that makes you say that the Democrats adopted McCain an "apostate," though.

The gang of 14 denied leadership to the republicans they had earned at the ballot box.They also perpetuated that Dixiecrat weapon, the filibuster. Just give me Sarah, Shirley Temple Black and perhaps Dr. Rice and I'll try to shut up. For a while.

No point in silencing them when they sing the same song. Leaders should lead. If you want a consensus on everything, don't ever drive.
