The GOP sends their sycophants out to keep us from getting our crap together. This thread is a case example. Add up the time we collectively spend debating the most basic points and principles of conservatism.
That is tens of thousands of hours a year collectively on FR alone. And it’s all time well spent for those intent on keeping us powerless.
Um, right.
Back in ‘12 I remember most Freepers opposing Romney, but many saying that they would hold their noses to vote for him as the nominee. I don’t remember any who supported him in the primary (and there weren’t many) doing so on ideological grounds; the arguments (iirc) were based on electability.
I DO remember lots of fights between Freepers over their preferred Conservative candidate, and which one was the true Conservative deserving of support. If thats the work of syncophants, I’d really like to know who the spoiler candidates were who run by the GOPe to split Conservatives and give Romney the nomination. Gingrich? Santorum? Herman Cain?
The truth is that we Conservatives keep shooting ourselves in the feet by not getting to a common candidate early in the primaries. Until we understand that, instead of blaming the nomination of a Romney or a McCain on shadowy GOPe operatives who we just know are lurking out there trying to disrupt us, we’re going to end up with nominees we really don’t like, but most assuredly deserve.

Norm, you are an egotistical and presumptuous and PARANOID and dishonest fool.
NOBODY “sends me out” — I am very conservative but very independent in what I do, what I say and the actions I take.
I am a self employed professional in the business world and in the political realm I decide what I want to do and how to do, and I have ALWAYS been that way.
As I have tried to instruct you on many past occasions, your failure as a debater (and as a person) is that you “lump” people together and you assume and presume “marching orders” or “connections” or some kind of conspiracy or group think, and you do this REFLEXIVELY every single debate you get into.
NO Norm.
Grow up! It is entirely possible for highly intelligent, moral, decent and politically experienced and successful people to think that YOU Norm are full of yourself.
That I think that YOU Norm, are full of yourself and destructive does not, in any way, make me a mouthpiece for any other person or organization.
I vehemently disagree with you Norm.
That does not make me a liberal.
That does not make me a moderate.
I am a conservative and I have the battle scars to prove it.
I simply know that you are wrong. I know this with every fiber of my being.
Got that?
