Don't worry, Tiger Woods will be the next profiled villain.......
Isn’t this approach what got us here to begin with? Conservatives for decades have been “settling” for someone who is a lib in elephant clothing. Whoever the party selects is better than anything the democRats put out.
The long term effect of this is the party drifts farther left with every election. If the party base bites their tongue every two years, why in the world would the party elites change their ways?
Finally, we end up with a party that is barely distinguishable from the democRat party. And believe it or not, democRats are better at being democRats than Republicans are.
When we are a party that is pretty much the same as the democRats, just not quite as good at it as they, then why would voters be attracted to the party? Why would voters STAY with the party?
In the last election, the democRats placed a bunch of somewhat conservative candidates up against Republican liberals. They out-flanked us!!!! Our party had drifted so far to the left they were able to supply some moderates who were to the right of our candidates.
The short-sightedness of supporting any Republican is killing the cause. And the party.
Opus?
Agree with you.

Now you can add the annoying first post of each thread to your filter, and you can block most of it.
I feel strongly that we need to concentrate on next November and put Presidential politics aside until after the congressional elections.
Please, FReeper friends! If we start infighting, we’ll lose. Keep your eyes on the ball! It’s not yet time to discuss 2012.

Gee, Dude. It seems like you and I had this discussion several times when you wanted me to shut up about the uh, “You know what’s”. As I recall, I told you then that perhaps time and energy could be better spent on real issues as opposed to nonsensical blathering on about uh, “You know what.”
So, rightly or wrongly, you are being hoisted on your own petard. As I recall you were very insistent that I shut up or be shut up. So, when the Man spoke, I shut up. After all, it is his house. Perhaps you should do the same.
parsifal, who being noble, takes no pleasure at your discomfort no matter how well deserved.
I hope your proctologist makes that doorknob removal painful as hell!
