that’s always wise (ha).
Anyway, it’s true that I only vaguely remember pissant from the past, but it may just be my memory. I’ve been here a long time and only a few posters stand out to me.
My problem with him now is that by pettifoging the Palin discussions, he cheapens any meaningful analysis of her positions and chances.
I’m all for Palin to run. I think she could win. And he’s just fanning the flames of Palin hatred which is both incomprehensible and detrimental to our cause.
That way lies ruin and another McCain nomination (ie Romney, Huckabee, etc.)
I like Jim DeMint and I like Michele but I want someone with both charisma and the courage to fight and not take any stuff off anybody and not worry about the ‘with all due respect’ crap.
Precisely. This is why I shifted from the position that he is performing a service to the stance that he has begun to act, seem, effect FR as a Troll when my experience/memory of him has been as a fairly serious person.
But, this PDS stuff has made him a joke and his points a joke so that he ends up doing more damage to his position than good. Worse, he has moved to some fairly intellectually dishonest tactics to make his points and that impacts us all.
There is a great value to being a contrarian, but a great responsibility just the same, and pissant is being irresponsible.
We are blessed with a whole number of rising stars among them DeMint and Bachmann but certainly many others as well. This is a great thing for the future, because they provide great leadership and are building a team that can support conservative principles all of the way from election to action, which is what ultimately counts.
A President by themselves is not much. This person needs to have an administration committed to the needs of this nation and a Congress that is capable of getting its work done without being side tracked, corrupted, or co-opted into the quagmire that Washington has become.
