Well I think I flipped my modifiers. It would have to be a Civil War that is a Cold War, so it would be a Cold Civil War. Otherwise it would be a cold war that is civil and we know from the news of today that the Daily Kos poll of over 2000 self declared Republicans that the current Civil War is not civil and just barely cold even.

Hell that's enough. My fingers are tired. Read it at the Daily Kos.
One thing for sure, at least one in five self identified "republicans' are friggen out of their minds.
The pundits are having a field day with this even as we speak. Both sides say this validates their positions about the other.
What do you think?
By the way Bill O 'Riley called the poll a fraud. Check out the polling company Research 2000 and see for yourself if they are legit.

Tis interesting, and reminds of old
Father Coughlin ..
..in tough economic times we gotta blame somebody for wage stagnation while productivity has risen. And if we can't figure it out, (hint, trickledown economics) why heck
FoxNews will give it to us intravenously. Fr. Coughlin/FOX;
one of those 'nothing new under the sun' cycles. I'm getting too old for such nonsense...
Too old for this...me too.
What is Most disturbing about this poll is that these people are the rank and file self declared Republicans, not the fringe.
It really seems as though 1/3rd of them are certifiably NUTS, 1/3rd of them are wishy-washy Nuts, and 1/3rd of them are occasionally Nuts.
My son says the real problem is that they all learned their "Democracy" from some guy whoes first name was "Coach".
I have a friend who calls them "Republitards". My husband and I were both raised in conservative Republican families and even served as chair and vice-chair of our county Republican party several years ago. We have gradually become disenchanted with the GOP (which some seem to think stands for God's Own Party). We were in New Orleans just prior to Katrina (one of the last flights out) and seeing what went on there caused us to rethink...well...everything. As you might expect, this hasn't gone over well with our families. It's nice to find another Okie with similar views. I'm adding your blog to my Google Reader. You should check out my blog, The Well-Groomed Hippie. Btw, I read Daily Kos regularly.
Deanna,I decided that I was forever a Yellow Dog Democrat in 1969 when as SIGINT analyst for the First Infantry Division, I watched Nixon lie about and then prolong the war in Vietnam. In the 70's I used to work with Oklahoma Republican legislators and staff towards common goals. I hear that our own State Capitol is so divided now that even here in Oklahoma that is now impossible to do.
