I'm not a Rudy camper, but that attitude is nothing but payback for three or four years of abuse that the moderates took from the social conservative right on this very forum, so i understand it.
As should you...
If you did not participate in it, then it was not really directed at you, but remaining silent while other conservatives are attacked because they are not conservative enough for a vocal minority is the same as participation in my book.
This is why the party is all fouled up, and it will be sometime before the rifts heal. If ever...
I participated, but from the moderate point of view as I am a moderate conservative. I didn’t participate much, but I did voice my opinions. Then again, I didn’t participate on this forum much until the last couple of years, and even then I tended to stay away from those vicious threads as they did not interest me.
