I can't believe I'm saying this,but I like Buddy Romer.

[white_wolf]

He is on the Daily Show, and I'm actually really liking him. He doesn't bow at the altar of the almighty dollar and corporations. He said corporations don't give a damn about the rest of us and he is right, I'm in shock. I never thought I could respect a republican, but I respect him. I won't vote for him, but I do respect him.

1. White wolf moderate republican

Moderate repub, white wolf.

They are close to extinction or have become conservative dems.

They roamed the plains back in the Jurasic, well before your time.

7. Yeah, Biden used to say "this isn't your father's Republican

party anymore".

They used to be some sanity. Even if there are some left, they've been run over by this new breed. It's frightening It's like having a party full of Harold Fords. :scared:

[nadinbrzezinski]

8. Oh I have been saying it for years.

[one_voice]

12. My mom says that all the time...

She was always a registered Republican and switched parties cuz she said--and I quote-"the Republicans have lost their fucking minds" end quote.

I of course have always been a Democrat. :-)

14. They were well regarded, back in the Ike Age n/t

[nadinbrzezinski]

15. Oh I'd say well into the 70 s and this man was formed back in the Jurasic

[madokie]

19. With Nixons fall they turned a hard hateful right

began to buy up the media then too. I remember it well.

2. I know

I feel like I've fallen down the rabbit hole.

Clearly, he is too sane for the Republican party.

He has no chance in he'll, bu good guy

[SharonAnn]

[white_wolf]

6. Buddy Romer. Sorry I should edit that.

[gateley]

10. He was on with Rachel. Agree, seems like a good guy. I'd trust him. nt

[gkhouston]

9. He talks a good game. What was his record like when he was in office? n/t

[nadinbrzezinski]

11. Actually pretty good

There is a reason he is almost an extinct species.

[LatteLibertine]

16. There

is a little about him at "On The Issues".

http://www.ontheissues.org/Buddy_Roemer.htm

I completely agree with him on the campaign finance reform issue, and corruption.

[TeamsterDem]

17. At least I believe that he honestly believes in his heart what he says, unlike most of em. nt

[Ineeda]

18. Spelled ROEMER.

Clarified for Google purposes.

[bluedigger]

20. In the land of the blind the one eyed man is king. n/t

[Upton]

21. I caught the tail end of his appearance on Rachel's show....

I didn't recognize him and was thinking..who is this guy? Even Rachel seemed genuinely impressed. Of course, with his views, he has no chance to win the Repub nomination..which is too bad.

[Bettie]

22. He's one of the few R's I can still respect

I used to think that we all had the best interests of the country and the people at heart, just different philosophies on how to get to the end result. Mr. Roemer is one of those guys.

Now you can't turn around without hearing really crazy stuff.

I don't think they simply have different methods to get to the best for everyone. They are....well, evil. I don't use that term lightly either.

They choose corporations and money over human beings every single time.

I'm sick to death of this whole mess.
