Now I don’t know how others would interpret comments such as: “You’re an idiot”,

JR took it with humor, grace and humility as I knew he would.
He is not a despot, just the principled founder of this site for conservative causes. It is no surprise that a level of despair and wandering in the desert has infected the GOP grassroots since Nov.2006. As well as a level of panic that causes us to glom on to the first candidate who gets any MSM attention. JR believes we should be more fearless, faithful to conservative principles and reach higher. It’s all about winning - not whining and compromise.
Now get out there and be of sound heart and strong will.
I wasn't referring to your calling JR 'an idiot'...that was funny, because I thought you were just having a little fun and trying to lighten things up a bit. It worked for me, because I laughed. I was referring to JR calling Peach an idiot, plus other insulting remarks. I never called him a despot - that was my complaint about him - he didn't follow the guidelines he set for HIS forum.
I am a fiscal and social conservative, and I want to win as much as he does. However, we may have a different approach to winning. I won't compromise my conservative principles, but I prefer to win by trying to be smarter, not louder and nastier. Some of those who left for whatever reason, were trying to explain why they were supporting someone that I have no intention of voting for. I don't see why their opinion couldn't have been posted and ignored if you didn't agree with it! If you wanted to disagree, do it civilly w/o the name-calling and insults. That's just my opinion, and I will be of sound heart (and I hope sound mind) and strong will. You keep your sense of humor and spread it around. I'd rather laugh than to moan any time!
