10.58 pm. I'm not sure what to say about this evening, except I want to take a shower. I've rarely been repulsed by the atmosphere of a debate as I was tonight. But this is the Republican core of South Carolina. One of the biggest applause lines was about waging war on the federal government. I suspect that if any Latinos or African-Americans were watching this, Obama's support just jumped.

From my perspective, Romney was cringe-inducing, shudder-worthy, and plastic beyond measure. I suspect he's going to try and rig this year's tax returns to hide his far lower rate of taxation and far, far, far higher income than 99.999 percent of the population. It was a weak answer.

We also had a strong endorsement of child labor, largely for African-Americans. I suspect that Santorum helped himself tonight, as did Perry a mite. Gingrich also showed his ability to reach the Southern vote, and Romney tried to fake it. Gingrich's diatribe about blacks getting paychecks rather than food stamps earned him a standing ovation

I cant find anything by him that sounds remotely like a conservative.

In 2004, Sullivan reluctantly decided to support John Kerry's presidential campaign, due to his dissatisfaction with the handling of the postwar situation in Iraq by the Bush administration, their views on gay rights, and their fiscal policy. In 2006, he supported the Democratic Party. Sullivan (like a number of other conservatives) endorsed Senator Barack Obama for the Democratic Nomination in the 2008 U.S. Presidential Election, and Rep. Ron Paul for the Republican nomination. Sullivan endorsed Obama for President on the eve of the election.

In January 2009, Tunku Varadarajan, Elisabeth Eaves and Hana R. Alberts, writing in Forbes magazine, ranked Sullivan #19 on a list of "The 25 Most Influential Liberals In The U.S. Media", writing that "he clings unconvincingly to the 'conservative' label even after his fervent endorsement of Obama. His advocacy for gay marriage rights and his tendency to view virtually everything through a 'gay' prism puts him at odds with many on the right."

The guy has some libratarian takes on economic issues which is strange considering his love affair with Obama. The idea that this is some straight line conservative along the lines of George Will is simply untrue. But of course since his article was linked at Dailykos.com we know at least where it cme from.

Your own frank unfamiliarity with this long-time, well-known Reagan conservative doesn't set any standard. For example, you might look at one of his books:

In The Conservative Soul, one of the nation's leading political commentators makes an impassioned call to rescue conservatism from the excesses of the Republican far right, which has tried to make the GOP the first fundamentally religious party in American history. In this bold and powerful book, Andrew Sullivan makes a provocative, prescient, and heartfelt case for a revived conservatism at peace with the modern world, and dedicated to restraining government and empowering individuals to live rich and fulfilling lives.

LOL - Sorry, no. The article was published in Newsweek Magazine, and linked by me at the conservative website, The Daily Beast, here http://www.thedailybeast.com/newswee...s-critics.html The Daily Beast is the conservative-trending website that conservative Andrew Sullivan writes for.

So I guess all your distractive author attack means you didn't bother to actually read the article - which has some nice attacks on "the left" you could probably enjoy

"BTW Andrew Sullivan is a radical left-winger".

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !

Whatever. I read some of his rantings. He isnt a conservative and the Daily Beast is hardly a conservative website. Of course you dont think you are liberal either so how could you tell??

Pains me to agree with Riot, but Andrew Sullivan is not a radical left winger. Not even close.
