The always thought provoking Kevin Tracy writes that the GOP has more in common with Stalin than John McCain.

What do you think? Personally, I’m glad the post didn’t mention Bush and that guy with the funny mustache — that has gotten old.

Let the Molotov cocktails fly, comrades!

    Kevin likes to create comments by using chaotic statements to get responses.

    John McCain, in my opinion, is an American hero who has cut a lot of bi-partisan deals and made hard line conservatives mad in doing so.

    Hi Steve,

    Kevin Tracy is using one of the oldest techniques for engaging readership. It’s one that works, but it is one that makes me wonder if he really believes it, or is just stirring the pot to get some controversy and excitement simmering.

    Thanks for the plug!

    No, Joseph Stalin was a bad guy and I don’t want him to be our Republican nominee… Chris had it right the first time: I’m simply trying to be thought provoking.

    It should trouble us that John McCain represents Republican values and issues so poorly that, on some of those issues, we are closer to Stalin than McCain.

    That’s all I’m trying to say. While I do have an Uncle Joe, his last name isn’t Stalin.

    Hi Kevin,

    Thanks for always getting us thinking!

    In a time when most blogs seem to follow each other lock step within their political philosophy, it’s good to see one that can spark some thought and shake things up in a constructive way.
