Are there ANY rethugs who are NOT evil?

Just caught most of the MTP rerun. Liddy Dole's "Democrats are content to lose" comment was not even responsive to the question that was asked of her. What a freakin' loser she's turned out to be. And Tom Reynolds (the NY congressman who enabled Foley) is just as bad, if not worse.

God, I hate rethugs.

3. Only really, really stupid ones.

It could be argued that they don't know any better and are therefore not really evil.

However, I still have my doubts about that.

5. Cripes! I've just seen Dole's performance for the first

time today. She's seems to be 'on' something. Russert actually seems pissed at her - he should have pulled the plug on her fucking mike.

And what are those two giant humps sitting where her cheekbones should be?

Neither Emanuel not Schumer is very forceful - unfortunately.

7. She look horrible

What in the world happened to her she looks like a bloated tick. Pouched out cheeks and pouted mouth. Even her hair looked like a wig. A couple of years ago she looked pretty good.

9. Republican King County Council member Brian Derdowski

was a total rock star during the WTO protests in Seattle He stood down the police and took rubber bullets with the rest of us. He's a moderate. He's the only republican I would have ever considered voting for.

13. Pete McCloskey is a fine republican

He even came out of retirement to run against the ass Pombo in the (CA11) primary. He lost, but he's endorses only Democrats in the 2006 race.

His statement:

14. The mere fact that they associate themselves with that party

after all that's happened pretty well says it all for me.

I won't willingly associate with them- because from my perspective, it shows a serious character flaw- and those are the sorts of people who'll stab you in the back.

15. Most Republicans, like most Democrats, are not evil.

They simply disagree with us.

18. But they support positions that are evil, do they not?

And if they insist on supporting evil positions, they are evil, IMO.

19. I've worked with a few.

Only a couple were anything close to honest. The rest were even dishonest (sneaky, greedy, overly competitive cheats) in their personal lives. It's incredible, but true. Maybe it's just my experience.

20. There are some, in the history books.

One of the horrors of the RW influence has been changes in words themselves. Think what's happened to the use of

liberal
compassionate
moderate

(sorry, pet peeve, must delay until next week)

21. Evil? No. Then again, the term "rethugs" certainly demonizes them.

I can think of several offhand that I wouldn't consider "evil". Would I want them as my leader in government? No, but I couldn't bring myself to call them "evil" either.

Gerald Ford
John Anderson
Gary Johnson
Jodi Rell
William Cohen
Lincoln Chafee

Republicans are people, too. However the extremist wing which has hijacked the Republican Party has separated the wheat from the chaff and turned a lot of the remaining "loyal" Republicans into bullying lemmings.
