2006 New Jersey Senate Race

Many people wonder why Senator Bob Menendez of New Jersey has developed such rabid liberal politics, while most of his fellow Cuban Americans are conservative. The answer may lie in the fact that when Menendez' family left Cuba, they were fleeing the regime of the US backed dictator Fulgencio Batista. Keep in mind that the Batista government was nowhere close to as oppressive as the Castro regime. Perhaps that's why Senator Menendez has associated himself with the party whose foreign policy is hard to differentiate from that of Castro...because he never had to face the brutal dictatorship of Fidel Castro that most other Cuban Americans had to face.

The Exposer:

Darling, your lecturing people on self-respect after your embarrassing liberal tirades is like ex-President Clinton lecturing people on chastity.

Kimyl Oh!:

I am proud of most of my liberal tirades, if only because they interrupt the right wing circle jerk in the comments section where people debate whether Bush is great or just good.

I have tons of self-respect because I argue with passion, compassion, and logical reasoning, and I answer and argue with all people who bring a critically reasoned argument to the table.

Of course, since most of what I say is either blasphemy or embarrassing, people write me off rather than face any hard questions about their unfailing loyalty to the GOP. Get a conscience and a mind of your own.

The Exposer:

Madame, I think and have a conscience, that's precisely why I am not a liberal.
