		<description>I know why the Club for Growth stikes fear into the heart of liberals. It&#039;s because the Club fights for economic freedom and there is an historical fact that gnaws at the libs&#039; &quot;collective being&quot;. Economic freedom is the prerquisite for all other freedoms.

Jason is no doubt having one of those liberal knee-jerk &quot;but what about the Nazis?&quot; cognitively dissonant reactions, but it&#039;s a fact of life. Just because the U.S. government has grown unabated for the past 78 years, doesn&#039;t mean that it can&#039;t or won&#039;t shrink. It will, if individual freedom is to survive in the U.S.A.</description>

		<description>All you have is that &quot;I can&#039;t be this stupid&quot;? I get better snark from the portsiders on this side of the border. 

While I&#039;m not quite to the drowned in bathwater level, I happen to think the government should be limited. Seems to me that was the intent of those who wrote the Constitution. Despite the fact I have but a public-school education, I can still figure out just by reading it carefully that the authors of that document weren&#039;t out to create a nanny state awash in regulation and mandate, which seems to be the goal of your side.

But aside from the snide remarks about my intelligence and one example I laid out of a Democrat who was thrown under the bus by his own party when he dared to support the premise that Islamic terrorism was worth fighting on a military level, you really don&#039;t address why the endorsement of Andy Harris by the Club For Growth is such a bad thing to voters in our district - or would be to a candidate in Delaware. 

Are you so sure they wouldn&#039;t be all in favor of limiting government spending given the trouble your state has had with making its FY09 budget workable? Maybe school choice wouldn&#039;t appeal to young Delaware families, or for that matter reforming Social Security? The last one may give pause to your beachfront retirees but I bet reforming the tax code and making the Bush tax cuts permanent may win them back.

Rather than taking potshots at the messenger, perhaps you should make the argument against what the Club For Growth truly stands for. Let me give you &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.clubforgrowth.org/about.php&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;a clue&lt;/a&gt;.</description>

		<description>This is a hoot Michael.  You are a comedian in real life right?  

&lt;i&gt;Returning to my original point, I have to wonder why the Club For Growth instills so much fear in liberal circles.&lt;/i&gt;

Oh my.   We are soooo worried about the Club for Growth. The country is really clamoring for a group that wants to shrink the government  to a size where is could be drowned in bath water. That&#039;s the winning vision that will sweep your lunatics into office. 

And this... 

&lt;i&gt;...the party that dropped its support of Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman just six years removed from being their Vice-Presidential nominee because he didn’t follow the liberal orthodoxy on the Long War&lt;/i&gt;

My sides...stop..I&#039;m begging.  Bad Democrats. That Joe Lieberman was salt of the earth.  We were all wet about trying to get rid of that lump.  Now our party is rudderless.  

Or maybe you are not a comic?  Oh my God, you can&#039;t be this stupid.   Can you?</description>
