Do you have a problem with standing for principle

Thanks for making MY point once again.

Making YOUR point? You must be kidding.

I simply asked if there is any criticism of Republicans that you consider valid. No matter what the GOP does, yoou seem ready to defend it by trying to shout down any critics and impugn their motives and their conservatism.

As I said, I am interested in pursuing the advancement of conservativ e principles. Republicans, in power, tend to move in the other direction. When they do something that advances conservative principles, such as tax cuts and the war on terror, I am very supportive. But when they do such things as declare a de facto manesty for illegal aliens, refuse to secure our borders, create the largest entitlement in almost 40 years, pass the biggest Federalization of education in many years, restrict our freedom to speak out about candidates during a campaign, I oppose them a a matter of principle.

Republibots -- conservatives who will support these things merely because Republicans are doing them -- in my view do not advance our cause. But if anyone raises that point, they are the first and loudest to impugn the critics.
