Richard Lugar's goodbye: an attack on partisanship.

Well good thing we've gotten rid of almost all of those moderate Democrats along with the moderate Republicans. Now we can take our gridlock clean and simple.

It would less bad to have more moderates than far-right nutjobs but if they don't do something about climate change, it's all for nothing anyway. Even if they could create enough jobs to drop unemployment to acceptable levels by stripping away all regulations and approving everything that industry wants, it wouldn't matter in the long term. In a few decades from now, living for most people, would mean a hellish nightmare. Some people are already resorting to virtual worlds to escape their real-life misery. I'd rather that we do enough to improve things in the real world so that people don't need to escape reality.

Some people do intentionally vote for gridlock. I've never said they don't have reasons!

He was the worst Republican in Congress on the issue of Illegal Immigration. He never met an amnesty he didnt like. That is one reason he isnt a member any longer.

Right, those despicable people who like to pretend they rule a civilization from the dawn of time. They should get out of here and set up a board for those who like that sort of thing

Civers are nothing compared to dedicated MMO players. I know of people who spend most of their waking hours playing those games. Some have made a job out of building a virtual 2nd life online.
