Personally, I prefer Tancredo although I admire "America's Mayor," and this article sheds some light on Rudy's little known conservative and courageous accomplishments.
I know! I thought her post pinging all the Catholics on her ping list was hilarious. Like they represent every Catholic in America. This is getting funnier and funnier.
Was at a meeting last Tuesday night with Republicans where several Catholics out of the group were supporting Rudy -- guess they didn't get the word that they are not supposed to do that! I just asked one of them if he was on the ping list for all of American Catholics. He thinks I have officially cracked up.
It's interesting they're all about liberty and freedom, except when it comes to women and gays and others needing government to "impose righteousness" upon us--they are total big governmentaholics then!! But let big government rumble about gun restrictions, and it's wah-wah city.
No. In 99, when I joined, I just wanted Clinton out, I didn't think a lot about the candidates. But as I admitted in a previous post, I had some idealistic fantasies about the libertarians around that time, so I might have reflected some of that. But I certainly never badmouthed W in any way.
You think they're facts because you post them over and over and over?
My, my, they aren't making Freepers as smart as they use to.
Ooops sorry. It's that Giuliani supporter stereotype that I have.
He's a good man, as far as I can tell, but an unspectacular one. He's been in the House since 1981 and almost NOBODY knows who he is. With just that one statement of his, regarding the need to raise at least 100 million dollars, he has proved that he is just not up to running any kind of viable primary campaign. Perhaps he is angling for a VP slot.
No problem at all. No offense taken.
Or like I heard today -- Secretary of Defense! :)
I could say that Catholics are used to voting for heretics. :0)
They used to say ANOINTED about W; they've changed the word. LOL
Hush now, I'm sure he's busy working on the one where he admits calling me a liar was a mistake.
Grassroutes doesn't have to be travel, that's 30k a plate thinking. I'm not sure Hunter will get the local volunteers he would need otherwise, but I am sure he will need them.
Very good question, as I said. I've seen "conservatives" on FR defend Michael Schiavo obsessive efforts to kill his wife, and defend a court-sanctioned murder, all in the name of "states rights." I've seen "conservatives" on FR ridicule people of faith and defend a "theory" of origins that was embraced by oppressive communist and eugenic fascist regimes in Europe. I've seen "conservatives" on FR who wish to have America selfishly pull into itself and abandon the causes of freedom and justice around the world, allowing them be overrun by their enemies. I've seen "conservatives" on FR say that because of their "principles" they will sit out the '08 election and allow the return of the sociopathic and narcisstic Clintons to the world's most powerful office.
Frankly, there's a lot that parades around this place in the name of "conservatism" that quite frankly, I'm ashamed to be associated with. But for some concept of the "greater good," I tolerate it. Maybe I shouldn't.
They didn't support Bush in 2000, but did, 52-47, in 2004. I know many Catholics who did in fact switch their vote because of the abortion issue but almost every one of them tell me it was a mistake now because they are and have been against the war.
LOL!
Yes, you're right about all of that!
And they now want the government in our bedrooms! Is this not amazing?
Your post was untrue. While I had said some hurtful things about Jim Robinson in the past, by no reasonable definition had I been "regularly trashing" Free Republic 24/7 - or Jim Robinson for that matter. You can call what you said, or what you are for saying it, whatever you want. I know what you said and I know why you said it. Let your conscience be your guide, Howlin.
