It didn’t take that long for me to find posts where you “speak damagingly of; criticize in a derogatory manner; sully; defame, and treat or represent as lacking in value or importance; belittle; disparage. If anything I would characterize your overall posting behavior denigrating.

It boils down to this, "socons" want to dictate the stance of the nominee on a single issue (abortion).
***Putting the term “socons” in quotes is a denigration. Using straw argumentation denigrates the position as well as the gravitas of the issue.

If they don't get thier way, many will stay home rather thn support the ONLY party that has tried to do anything substantive to end abortion.
***This is criticizing in a derogatory manner – if they don’t get their way.

Once the nominating process ends, assuming he wins, Rudy will be the lead candidate for the party. You support the team you play for. Either that or you find anew team.
***This denigrates the choices we have. And pushes us to consider other alternatives at your suggestion. And in the same vein of argumentation, you end up denigrating socons for considering that choice.

I like to stir things up on the Rudy threads because I resent the small number of Hunter supporters waving the bloody shirt of conservatism for this obscure congressman.
***This is a denigration of socons and an exaggeration of the language -- obscure congressman, bloody shirt, small numbers.

Just what ARE Rudy's qualifications that make him the "BEST man to lead as CIC?"

I'm not Giuliani supporter you dithering idiot...I've stated in numerous threads that I hae no intention of voting for him in the primaries.

And where the hell do you get off questioning how "classy" I am? You cast the first stone wonderboy, not me
***Insults are a denigration. Bad language, well, that’s not that big of a deal though it’s against the posted rules…

Please... the little temper tantrums and hissy fits put forth by some of the "socons" on this board are worse than anything I posted.

Frankly...I'm sick of the "RINO" term being tossed about willy nilly by a minority faction within the party at anyone who doesn't lock step with the complete socon agenda.

To be more brief...bite me
***Insults again, “bite me “ is disrespectful and a denigration. The RINO term isn’t “tossed about willy nilly by a minority faction within the party at anyone who doesn't lock step with the complete socon agenda.” That’s hyperbole, not necessarily denigrating, but what would possess you to come to a minority faction site and say such things? I contend it is a denigration of Free Republic.

Who cares what the demos say? That's some pretty specious logic you're employing there. By all means, don't vote for Rudy in the rimaries...I sure as hell ain't. But when the general elections roll around and if he's the nominee you shoud vote for him.

Or get the hell out of my party
***This “get the hell out of my party” thing is a denigration. It also goes right to the issue we’re discussing here, which is that a party split is looming due to such sentiments being expressed in similar fashion. Keep in mind that THIS IS NOT A REPUBLICAN website. It is a SOCON website, and since you’re an admitted ‘non-socon’, it’s up to you to act graciously if you want us to listen to you. So far the rudy team is completely missing the ball, and if anything, is proving to us that he is not suitable to be president. Team rudy fails miserably to make the case.
