The former Maryland governor declared in a radio interview that "multi-culturalism is crap." Mr. Ehrlich keeps Maryland's Archie Bunkers and yuppies energized.
A yuppie is an Archie with a college degree. Archies and yuppies - white, male, straight, and Euro-American - are increasingly angry that they are decreasingly dominant in our society and culture. In the 60s, African-Americans were liberated; in the 70s, women; in the 80s, gays; in the 90s, Latinos; and in this decade, everyone else.
Needless to say,...

It should be apparently obvious from the two words you used. What is the core or base of the Party, but that which makes up its prime principles, they are the majority. Why should the majority submit the minority view? Why would they? If you alienate the base you are not going to win elections. Being a moderate is not a dirty word it is just not what the base wants. Moderate and even Liberal Republicans can win in many parts of the country, but to win nationally they will have a problem.

Why? - 2009-07-09 21:30:27
Then why is the Republican "core" or "base" always catered to? Why is "moderate" such a dirty word in the Republican Party? Just wondering. Hope I didn't come across as hateful. Good grief.

Complete crap - 2009-07-09 21:10:17
My comments are to the editors of the Capital. Why would you print such an absurd letter? It serves no purpose but to attack Ehrlich and Thomann supporters and wrongly tries to portray republicans as anti everything good in the world. Would you please use a little better editorial judgment and cease from printing letters from such hateful people. Maybe if the editor had any sane judgment and read this letter for what it was and realized that he was spewing his baseless opinions of what people support or do not support they would have thrown this letter in the trash and found a better writer to publish. I fell sorry for you Mr. Hoage, I hope one day you can release the hate you carry and add a little bit of common sense in your thoughts before you spew out garbage like this.

Hoage's Hate. - 2009-07-09 16:23:39
Obviously James Hoage does not know how to read. Thomann did not call Obama Hitler. Being of Hispanic decent I am anti-abortion, anti gay-marriage (I could care less if a person is gay), and anti-illegal immigration. I also know that filibusters are unconstitutional so it does not matter to me if Democrats have fifty-one or sixty Senate votes.
What Mr. Hoage is trying to do is stereotype a whole party with what he believes are the most negative aspects of two people. This is of course the same old Democrat tactic used to make people believe Republicans view everyone else as subhuman. As we can see Hoage also believes the drivel coming out of the Democrat party if he believes the Republican Party is dead. They might like to believe but it is complete fantasy. Fifty five million people voted for a very poor Republican candidate in the last election, which is far from being dead. As was shown in the 2002 Maryland Governors election, when you run a poor candidate you are going to lose.
It is people like Hoage that must keep hate alive and play on peoples fear, because if ever people wake up and realize we are all in this together, the Democrat Party will be done.
