Maybe it was my comparing the Bush-bots to the Clintonistas.Your interpretation of his remark comparing the Bush-bots to the Clintinistas differs greatly from mine. I didn't get the impression that he was trying to compare Clinton to Bush…I believe the point he was trying to make was there is not a whole lot of difference between groups displaying blind allegiance to a politician whether it's a 'Pub or 'Dem. I can't fault his logic there.Anyone that doesn't have the moral clarity to see the moral personality differences between bill clintoon and George W. Bush is not a part of what FreeRepublic.com is all about.
Oh, then perhaps I should have re-posted the FULL comment I was responding to, then, which were quotes by the "Conservative" Darth Sidious. My mistake, FRiend. Here is the post I was responding to associated with your (apparently) very good "Conservative" FRiend Darth Sidious.......
Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but where is the support by Mr. Sidious for the Conservative movement in those statements???......Perhaps we should just have drop-down boxes that allow us to select from a list of acceptable responses.
More pearls of wisdom from Darth Insidious...
"Am seeing a lot more vitriole aimed at Dashle and the Democrats than I am seeing an interest in giving North Carolina the best possible leadership. That's been the tune of the GOP - whether statewide or national - during this entire election cycle. If that's the way they're gonna be, I'll gladly "punish" the GOP. And if the NC party leadership is so clueless, did anyone ever consider that a Bowles victory would be a GOOD thing? That it might justify an enema to bleed out the stagnancy that is "country club Republicanism" in this state?"
The GOP leadership, including Bush for meddling with our elections before the primary, deserves more than just a little spite. They need humbling. I'll gladly cast my vote for Bowles if that's what it takes to bring it to 'em.
I've no problem with seeing the destruction the Republican party. If it's gotten this arrogant, it SHOULD be destroyed, and let something better take its place.
The Republicans are on a power trip as much as the Democrats. And anyone who could support EITHER of them so blindly is not a patriot, but an opportunist.
That the Democrats hate the Constitution is no basis for assuming that the Republicans love it, either.
If the Democrats are evil, the Republicans are making no apparent effort to be defined as "good". The absence of a big fat "D" next to a candidate's name does not/can not mean that that candidate is necessarily better than another.
It's only force-fed if we swallow.
Punish the GOP for their stupidity: vote Bowles.
Are the Republicans so desperate to seize power, that they refer to any and all dissent as "dolts"?
That settles it all the more in my mind: the Republicans may desire power, but they do not *deserve* power.
Hmmm. I clicked on the "View Replies" hyperlink to your post, and it says "No Replies." Apparently no one wants to or is able to correct your assessment.
You should have asked: "where is the support for the republican party in those statements?"
Not everyone is willing to assign the conservative tag to anyone who runs as a republican. A true conservative is one who would stand firm against any and all violations of constitutional authority. Reps and Dems have both demonstrated a lacking in this regard over time.
Lockboxes and fuzzy math are all that we have to show for 200+ years of struggling against tyranny and its companions. Fifty years from now the Bush/Gore debates may dominate the comedy circuits (provided a 1st ammmendment still exists).
Banning those who criticize the two power parties will only reinforce the perception that politcal correctness has taken hold. Constitutional Correctness is all that truly matters. PC be damned.
With each passing day and with much passing legislation I am reminded of the geniousness of our founders. What saddens me most is our failure to share in their vision.
