No, I kinda missed that one.
I was either offline, or tormenting some unfortunate soul on one of the lower levels.
McCain the RINO?
Hmm, that says more than you wanted to admit you know.
The ONLY thing that could split the Republican party, is if the candidate for president started promoting gun control in a big way. THEN you would see a mass exodus!
OR:
A big amesty plan for illegals. It might just be the lack of securing the border that does the Republicans in next time.
Non-evangelical and secular conservative here. Much as they anti-evolution morons annoy the hell out of me, it will take a lot more than that to get me to bolt the party. Besides, I actually like most evangelicals (despite my theological disagreements with them), which is something that I can't say about the increasingly left-wing, anti-free market ideas that I hear from the Buchanobots, who long for the 1950s when unions and Democrats controlled America and being an entrepreneur was a pain in the a-s.
If federal monies are to be spent, spend them where they are saving thousands of peoples lives right now and easing their suffering.
This piece reads like a better crafted version of "I'm not a racist, lots of my friends are black" bs. There are legitimate differences in the Republican Party, and we must recognize that to be a MAJORITY party we must find ways to co-exist with moderates (sometime's wrongly labelled RINO's)..
...but this piece is just agit prop to create a "Republican's are splintering" myth. Watch the MSM play more of this BS and try to turn the myth into reality.
On the contrary Harmless, it would be the yahoos who to this day, in 2005, show up at school board meetings to say that they don't want evolution to be taught in classrooms.
It would be the people who want to pass up the possibility of eliminating numerous diseases because of religious conflicts and last but not least, it would be the people who wanted to prolong Terri Schiavo's existance.
That's who you'll have to thank for a Rodham-Clinton Administration. Let's just hope it doesn't come to that.
Rudy aint going to get the nomination. A northeast liberal Republican like Rudy who has some of the most corrupt friends on the planet aint goint to do it. Other tnan "law and order" Ruina the cross dresser IS NOT EVEN REMOTELY CONSERVATIVE!
Rudy is a BIG TIME GUN GRABBER TOO.
How on earth can you call yourself Conservative when you made the claim above? Sheesh. FR has lowered it's standards. There was a time when Darth Sidious got banned because he said he'd vote for the NC Sentate canditate Nelson Bowels (d) over Liddy Dole (r) because Bowles was at least a real Tarheel instead of a grew up/moved away carpebagger like Liddy.
You openly support Hillary and you still breathe.
Also, get off the kool aid. You have fallen prey, like so many other Freepers, to this obsession with Hillary. She's just another Dem politician, no better or worse than the rest.
I'm only thinking of potential candidates. Right now, it looks like the candidates would be Frist, McCain, Santorum (possibly), Brownback, Tancredo and Allen. Wouldn't be thrilled about any of them but I couldn't vote for Santorum, Tancredo or Brownback.
Yahoos?
A good portion of the Conservative movement are Christians.
Are you certain you want to embrace the same anti-God ideals of athiestic marxism that Hillary does?
Your posts here are telling us a heck of alot more than you are saying.
You've already said that if there are more people like you, there will be a President Hillary.
"I'm only thinking of potential candidates."
McCain is NOT on the list of potential anything.
Clemenza,
I hope it never comes to actually electing her but you have to acknowledge that the anti-evolution stuff is like fingernails on a blackboard in terms of annoying.
Since Tom Coburn isn't going to run this time, I'm putting my money on George Allen.
Try Erskine Bowles -- not Nelson.
I'm confronted with the possibility that I'll probably vote for Hillary Clinton despite the fact that she stands against so much that I believe in.
You believe as Hillery does. That says it all. You actually want her in. Because you want... what?
Government money going to support Embryonic stem cell research?
Can you point out to me just WHERE in the constitution that is to be found? The Conservative position here is that NO government money should be going to it because it is not something the federal government should be involved in in the first place.
The teaching of evolution in Government schools falls under the same category. It is not something the federal government should be involved with in the first place.
Since you seem not to understand this then you are a democrat at heart and I have no doubt that you will be voting democrat in the next election.
Please do not let the door hit you on the way out.
LOL! Nelson Bowels is an attorney in a neighboring city!
Some how I don't think you are who you say you are.
