“He’s right,” Charles Barkley said of Mellencamp. “The word conservative means discriminatory practically. It’s a form of political discrimination. What do the Republicans run on? Against gay marriage and for a war that makes no sense. A war that was based on faulty intelligence. That’s all they ever talk about. That and immigration. Another discriminatory argument for political gain.”…

“I was a Republican until they lost their minds,” Barkley said.

Some people are like leaves of grass, they only have the moral fortitude or any direction that an ‘indiscriminate’ wind gives them.

But I don’t see it happening. It’s like watching a teddy bear sitting in front of a junkyard pit bull.

It’s just a matter of time.

I was a Republican Democrat until they lost their minds.

I’ve since, of course, seen the errors of my youth and made the proper corrections.

*whine*

*sigh* Why do all of my old schoolgirl crushes keep doing this?

You had a thing for Sir Charles?

Anyway, if he said that, then why does he feel so compelled to tell us all his new opinions?

I think I’m just going to assume he had a stroke or an aneurysm or something, and this schism is physiological. He’s talking and acting a little weird. That could be a stroke, right?

(I don’t like the guy or his politics, but that commercial is funny.)

On another note: BJ, how do you know Greg Anthony is a conservative? I cannot stand his basketball commentary (i.e. his hatred for my team, the Utah Jazz), but if he is really a conservative he goes waaaay up in my book. Please show evidence of this claim, please.

Anthony is a Republican, and a smart one too.

I happen to agree with that – the Republicans beat themselves last election.

But what about Britney’s endorsement? It has to count for something, since she’s been to rehab… twice! Or is it 3 times now?

Wake me up in September, 2008 when this is for real.

Ya beat me to it…

Who is Bill Lambier endorsing?

I’m holding out for Britney Spears and Lindsey Lohan as soon as they’re out of rehab.

“I was a Republican until they lost their minds,” Barkley said.

What he means, is that it isn’t fashionable anymore, so he’s a democrat. He turned republican in 1994, I think when the R’s took the house/senate. Now that its the other way around, he’s back to a D.

-or-

He has a point. The R’s have lost their mind. Gingrich’s revolution lasted 12 years. We need him back.

I sat with him as he lost $800,000.00 in one night 3 years ago. He might tell you the truth about gambling, but he wont about the ‘discrimination thing’, unless he’s had a few.
He don’t like whites. Period.
