OMFG. an actual Conservative exists.

Edited on Fri Oct-17-03 10:33 PM by Mari333

must say that only once before in my life have I ever felt as utterly shocked as I am at this moment. The time before was when I first realized that my boss at the time, Bill Sizemore, was greedy and dishonest. The foundations of my universe shook. What has utterly shocked me today is Al Franken's latest book, "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right."

I read the book in one sitting. It is an amazing book, and -- if you're a decent, honest, hard-working, patriotic, true-blue conservative who listens to Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly and watches Fox News -- an earth-shattering book.

4. It's not a guy

It's Becky Miller, former "accountant" for Bill Sizemore and his criminal organization Oregon Taxpayers United.

Should be noted here that Ms. Miller does not have clean hands, either.

If you are at all intersted in Oregon politics and how the right wing has paralyzed Oregon's government in a marginally Democratic state, read this.

8. I'd throttle her

if she uses that "decent, honest, hard-working, patriotic, true-blue" preamble to "conservative" as often as she does in her writing.

7. refreshing!

It is unbelievably refreshing to hear a conservative actually give respect to the other side as opposed to demonizing us.

"And if we decent, honest, hard-working, patriotic, true-blue conservatives of this country neglect the duty we have to our children and grandchildren, we will never be able to work with those decent, honest, hard-working, patriotic, true-blue liberal Americans that these lying creeps have taught us to despise."

9. YES!

I lent my copy of the book to a conservative friend of mine. He has been becoming more uneasy with things lately and beginning to ask questions.

10. I used to be a true conservative...

Then I moved more to the left, but I was never a full supporter of Republican agenda.
