I know what I am – I am a conservative, who grew up in a 100% conservative family that knows what tyrants can really do to your life and the lives of your loved ones. I wish we would have a strong, credible conservative candidate throw his hat in the ring... it would make my life and the lives of everyone so much easier, and we would be united in fighting the liberals instead of fighting each other. However, as good as the candidates are, none of the them are as attractive to the electorate as much as Rudy, imperfections and all.
Anyway, this is Jim's site so, he should let us know if we are allowed to post Rudy threads and comment on them, because I can see the bullies intent on insulting Rudy supporters every time we express our opinion. No one should be bullied by a barrage of name calling and insults.
I don't like to be called “abortionist, gun-grabbing” – nothing could be further from the truth, and if they now think they have a license to break FR rules, then we need to know that as well.
Back later. :-)
Goodbye all!
I think like your terrific!
Yeah, it's not like the Rudy boosters are pushing the limits.
Such as referring to Rudy critics as Klan.
Or inferring critics are antiwar.
Or saying pro-lifer groups don't want Roe v. Wade overturned because it would cut off donations.
Nah, I'm glad your side has taken the high road and not said anything like that.
Great post!
Jim Robinson WAS here earlier, calling out/debating with a couple Rudy supporters and I didn't see him write once that Rudy supporters shouldn't/can't post threads/comments on FR, or that they would not be allowed to anymore in the future. IIRC, he was also asked that question directly more than once, and didn't bother to spell it out because well, if the Rudy supporters weren't allowed to post threads/comments supporting Rudy - he would have SAID that, wouldn't he? I'm no mind reader, just trying to apply common sense.

Your first sentence is faulty and doesn't jibe with your second. We do have strong credible conservatives who have thrown their hat in the ring. They all vary in HOW conservative they are from issue to issue, but they are all much more conservative than Rudy. Rudy, who by even what I have been able to gather from his supporters' comments on the Rudy threads here on FR, is considered conservative on the War on Terror and National Security only. But those of us who would prefer a more conservative candidate for the Republican party are accused of being "one trick ponies", etc for having other issues of import such as abortion, the 2nd amendment, the homosexual agenda, etc.
As far as how attractive they are to the electorate, we are still a ways out from decision time, so it seems a bit premature to be throwing the other conservative candidates under the bus already before we even know IF the rest of America will back them.

Eh, it didn't bother me too terribly to see those of us on the 'other side' compared to the KKK. Sticks and stones, and if it resorts to THAT, well - you move on to the next comment.
