Jarrett: NY-23 Shows Republicans More and More Extreme

‘mike’, it’s because Lieberman is not a Democrat.

They have rush dimbaugh and glenn beck. Need I say more????

George, Dede Scozzafava is not a moderate, she is a liberal. McCain is a ‘get-a-long’ moderate.

Not sure where Jarrett thinks the Republican party is right now … I thought it was “rather telling” at the outset when the Sec Army selection was made solely for creating this vacancy – but was anyone surprised?

Adam, I refer you the vicious cries for Senator Leiberman’s recall, his impeachment, being tried as a traitor, and so forth that were posted on an article just yesterday when Senator Leiberman (Independent) actually had the audacity not to toe the DEMOCRATIC Party line.

Vararie Jarrett is the extremist. She brought Van Jones to the white house. Valarie Jarrett is so far left that it is scary.
Americans are finally waking up look at the virginia governor’s race. Americans are scared of this extremist one party democratic dictatorship.
Do you want 9 far left liberals on the supreme court. Do you want all out illegal immigration?
Do you want all out spending for politics? Do you want 60 dem senators and Pelosi as speaker with the white house with a far left agenda.
Do you want affirmative action forever.
Do you want the federal govt to be able to sue you if you don’t hire someone like the dems are proposing that if you are gay and not hired they can sue. Dems want to allow transvestites to sue if they aren’t hired.

Dems kicked out a moderate dingell from the enviornment committee because he wasn’t liberal enough. Dems put in tax and spender extremist harry waxman to his place.
Dems tar and feather any sign of moderates in their party and are running non stop ads to have to toe the liberal line.

I do not think it reflects the GOP as a whole since the tradtional leadership supported the GOP candidate. What I think it reflects is the increasing dissatisfaction with the status quo of the politics as usual.
REgardless of what Obama promised in the campaign for a inclusive tone, the liberal and extreme wing of his party has pushed us further and further from the center. Just like the GOP!
As far as I can tell Obama and the Congressional democrats are as bad as the GOP ever was under Bush. It might be time for new political parties.

Van Jones is the model of moderation and that is why he was recruited to the white house.

How and why was she FORCED out? And to the yahoo that compared American Republicans to Muslim extremists. Get a clue.

Van Jones, why doesn’t the White House hire people who are competent in their function.
A green jobs Czar, whould have been someone who ACTUALLY created and ran a GREEN COMPANY, who showed that they could CREATE jobs in the private sector, not just talk about it.
Very sad for this country!

Well, it’s no surprise to the rest of us that his poll numbers have gone under 50% faster than any other President in modern times.
Though, i did not see the interview, i am sure Georgy didn’t ask that question of this advisor.

Obama and his communist administration are the epitome of “extreme” and for them to call the GOP “extreme” is hilarious.

Dede Scozzafava did not represent the majority of the Republicans or conservatives in her district. As such, she mounted a bid that was proving to be unsuccessful. Her bid was unsuccessful because she faced opposition from a candidate, Hoffman, whose views DID represent the non-liberals in the district.
This is not being “forced-out”. This is not “Stalinism” (Frank Rich is an idiot). This is democracy in America. The local GOP doesn’t pick candidates– the people do. Naturally, a big-party-machine stooge like Valerie Jarrett finds this distasteful. That’s her problem, not ours.

I love in comment sections when someone writes “America is finally waking up because bla-bla-bla”.
The ultimate delusional hollow comment which is basically a mere slogan.
Been hearing that line for decades…and whoever gets in does the same cruddy performance as their predecessors.

This woman is the extremist. Nice job on the propaganda headline ABC.
People are starting to wake up though. This administration is a truly detestable, intellectually dishonest bunch. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Hoffman, Christie and McDonnell all win.

The problem is that both political parties have their extreme factions and they have become more and more extreme over the past 20 years. As small as these factions are, mainstream middle of the road Americans are being drowned out and pushed aside every election year by the extremists who make the most noise and raise the most money. Isn’t that how Al Qaida and the Taliban have come to be so powerful?

Rebublican extremism reminds me more and more of The Taliban, Al Qaida and other extremist groups around the world.

I guess George doesn’t recall that the Democrats did everything possible to sabotage Joe Lieberman because he had different views on defense of our nation. Both parties have crack pots and extreme views. The difference here is that the Conservatives saw that the Republican could not win so they chose a candidate that could. However with Joe Lieberman, the democrats backed a candidate that lost to Joe as an independent. George is been around politics to long to playing politics in his writings. He would be better to come out and admit he slants stories to his political views.

Memo to Valerie Jarrett: Obama’s FAR LEFT agenda is NOT going to work.
The country has figured out what he is up to and is sending the message, “CAN YOU HEAR US NOW.”

Each party has their extremes. I don’t see the press bashing the Code Pink folks when they burn U.S. soldiers in effigy. I also don’t see them slamming the extreme left near riots during the WTO conference. However, I sure see them going to great links and gross exagerations to make something negative out of the Tea Bag gatherings and Town Hall meetings. The point is that the left has as many loons as the right; it’s just not covered unless you watch something like Fox News. Call it what you will but George and the Obama admin are hypocrites when they view commentators such as Olberman and Moddow on MSNBC as anything other than the reciprocal of Beck and Hannity on Fox.

JR — “The conservative’s goals are no different than those of the country’s founding fathers’ goals – more freedoms, less intrusive government, less taxation . . . ”
I think that’s what MOST people in this country really want whether they normally vote R or D or even I. But sadly the conservative movement does not seem to want more freedoms. They appear to want more restrictions that follow very closely with their own particular religious beliefs. No abortion for ANY reason, prayer “brought back” to schools (where it never existed in the first place), total disrespect for gays, complete intolerance for anyone who doesn’t walk like, talk like, or think exactly like them. That’s scary.
But I’d agree that some liberals are just as far the other direction and that’s equally scary.

Actually, it is the black and white comparisions she makes that is more and more marginalizing conservatives and moderate conservatives. An unfair tactic, but I guess to the extreme left, even a moderate conservative would look extreme right now.

“Smell the fear and desperation.”
Yeah. I do and that’s how I know Republicans are around. Its what they sell. People are fearful for their own future so the Republican message is resonating loud and clear with the cautious and sad.
I will agree that Republicans have become more extreme. Its reactionary. Obama has become more moderate, much more moderate than he was on the trail.

LR Said: “Their preferred economic model (lower taxes, less regulation) has strengths…”
===================================
LR, you forgot to add the other parts to their economic model:
1. Lower taxes while simultaneously executing two wars.
2. Fool the “race horses” into believing that they’re not paying for those wars (since you lowered taxes), and then borrow from China, borrow from China, and borrow from China (with interest) to pay for those wars.
3. Tell the “race horses” that you’re for “smaller government”, but while you control the White House and the Congress (2003 to 2007) create an entirely new federal department called, “Homeland Defense”.
By the way, the “race horses” are the ones that still have the blinders on….LOL.

Are you sure the democrats arent becoming more extreme when they are calling scozzafava a “moderate” instead of a “liberal”? I’d sure like to know who the democrats actually want to label a liberal.

X-republican: I consider those points an abomination of the true ideals. The GOP is not something I recognize or can affiliate with any longer. It’s become something else. The actions do not match the language.

Rahm Emanuel and this white house are so cynical.
They play politics with positions.
The white house offered McHugh the previous republican for this seat the sec of army job not because they thought he was the best candidate but to play mischeif with the republicans.
This same white house also offered pete king one of the few gop reps in ny the ambassador to ireland position. They didn’t think he was the best pick but were playing politics.
They also played politics with jon huntsman for china ambassador and he felt it was his duty to serve.

McHugh was there for years, McEwen, Martin, etc-are you better off for their service? The “it is not my congressmen’s fault”-is the problem, clean them all out. We need independent thinkers not lock step zombies.

“Obama has become more moderate, much more moderate than he was on the trail.”
LOL!!

Wonder what job Obama offered her, wait and see

Obama and his entire posse will soon feel a huge backlash for the national socialism (aka Nazism) they’re trying to impose on this country.

i got a kick out of Valerie today–all partisanship is the republicans fault-if only they would go against all of their principles they could become bi-partisan.
Also, every time George would point out an inaccuracy-the amount of partisanship, the public not being in favor of Obamas plan-she simply said we she wanted without presenting any facts-as if whatever she said was gospel
and this woman in upstate NY was not a moderate R, she was a liberal R–to the left of the Dem candidate-thank god she dropped out so the folks can actually have a choice
The other interesting thing in all of this is that George-Mr Nuetral still has very close ties with the Democratic leadership–and Valerie says Fox has an agenda-Oh Val….

ABC on Sunday: Why not allow internet viewers to see the entire take of M. Stephenopolous, without the chopped liver method of packing every sentence with a contemptible commercial? I heard of his so called interview with Ms. Jarett, that he was itked and annoyed by her obfuscations, I tried to see it, instead, I get 3 separate windows, each one contains one sentence and one promo. Get real, this is not worth the time. Once the poor man got the chops to finally get manly and be serious and all you delivered is chopped liver?

extreme… is that a codeword for the angry mob taking the government back over. We call them citizens where i come from.

The republican party has become the party of the rich. If you are not very,very wealthy you are only fooling yourself if you think they are for you.
My wife and I both have good paying full time jobs with all the benefits and we voted for all Democrats because like the people I work with have said there is no other choice. The only moderates out there are republicans in disguise and disgust.
