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.

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.

See there! My point exactly. You never miss a chance to try to make the rest of us feel like we don't have principles because we don't all agree with YOU.

But my post did give you a chance to brush up on your sanctimonious posting style. Enjoy yourself!

Not at all. There are many disagreements among consrevatives, but we're presumably rowing in the same direction. If anything defines conservatism, it's limted government, constitutionalism, the idea that government is not the solution, it's the problem (as Ronaldus Magnus reminded us) and we would do a lot better with less of it. Sopmetimes you'll win that, sometimes you'll lose it, but to achieve vicxtory, first you must seek it. It doesn't seem to me that the programs I mentioned advance the cause of limited government. They make government bigger, more expensive, and more intrusive.

I notice your total unwillingness to debate the merits of the issues but instead you just hurl invective at people because they dare disagree with YOU and your precious party.

Do you disagree with the GOP and the Administration on anything?
