Amen.
Remember him saying "Gore makes it up; Bush makes it work"
Liked that so much I had it made into a bumper sticker and took them to a GOP rally Not allowed to distribute them, but one of the organizers liked them and he did so!
A good man gone to a well deserved rest.
Years ago, he seemed reasonable.
BURN IN HELL!
There you go. I know AutoMourn takes over in moments like this, but was a real Rat.
This article is for you:
Simpson was one of the conservatives who thought it was a great idea to conserve leftist victories.
RINO or not, he was likeable for his time.
There are not many politicians who are genuinely likeable these days.
"The grown-ups are back in the White House"
"Bush's brain"
"Get out of Cheyne's house"
Times - and people change.
He and John Danforth were the original RINOs.
There were RINOs back in the 1950s, including Jacob K. Javits of NY.
You forgot Reagan’s Sandra Day O’Connor and Anthony Kennedy.
You and me both, pal.
The way it's worded sounds like they're all sitting there and watching you ... every breath, every movement. Yuk.
I might like them around, like, in the house doing their own thing. I'll call them in when I want them in my bedroom. But until then, back off.
I've always been somewhat curmudgeonly so that will come as no surprise to my kin.
We got played.
I have nothing nice to say about those who did it.
What changed is we finally figured out what they were up to....
Getting a little tired of this forum of disrespecting people if they are not 100% “pure”. He was honest and good at heart RIP
I think there are no Alans in either the Senate or the House currently. Alan Cranston died some time ago. Al Green’s first name is Alexander.
Agree. On Free Republic, if anyone has ever said or done anything which somehow betrays conservative values, such person is deemed worthless by many here.
And as we see, many here want to see Simpson burn in hell for his betrayals of conservatism.
If we are going to be purists, there are very few in public life we can say we like. Because we are apparently supposed to be purists here.
Was he the one Rush Limbaugh always called “the cadaver?”
Well said/written.
Nothing you like about the guy.
OK. Got it!
