So what you're implying is that "conservative" and "Republican" are one and the same

One thing for sure is you're neither......

LEAVE

You've been here since 2008, and your name isn't on the FR donors list.

So, unless you feel the need to drive FReeper donors away in the middle of a FReepathon...

and take raybbr with you.

It's an unspoken rule that posters must ping people when they talk about them.

You might take that troll on the other thread too, he just signed up today.

What troll? Are you badmouthing donna?

But your vote for Baldwin in the general shows how bad your judgment is and how loony you really are......

Yet I voted for the most conservative candidate available to me on the general election ballot.

Isn't that the course of action all you "pragmatists" (i.e., Republican Party operatives) advocate?

You truly *are* dense, aren't you? Let me explain to you: Not all Republicans are conservatives, (DUH)

BUT, EVERY CONSERVATIVE HOLDING NATIONAL PUBLIC OFFICE *IS* holding it as a REPUBLICAN!

Understand now, third party troll?

Bwahahahahahahahahahaha

*Gasping for breath

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

How can someone vote for a person who thinks US black ops were responsible for the Haitian earthquake?

Short answer: You'd have to be a loon.

I'm thinking they've never read FR's homepage, and are somehow deluded into thinking this is a Republican site.

Free Republic is the premier online gathering place for independent, grass-roots conservatism on the web. We're working to roll back decades of governmental largesse, to root out political fraud and corruption, and to champion causes which further conservatism in America. And we always have fun doing it. Hoo-yah!

If you have ever been around politicians you know how insanely ambitious they are. The insanity, however, does not come out until they have a chance to win an important office. Nr does it manifest itself in obvious ways. Looking at someone like the governor of Minnesota, for instance, you would neve know that he probably would sell his oldest son/daughter in order to win the Presidency, or at least seriously consider an offer. ;-)

Plain seems to be one of those intuitive politicians. Like Lincoln, although her style is totally different. Lincoln learned by doing, and she seems to be the same. He was a writer and she seems not to be one. He was a legislator; she has never done that. He was a cautious man, always looking for an opening. She is maybe bolder. I know a lot more about Lincoln than I do Palin, or at least I know a lot of what men have wriitten about Lincoln, and little about Palin. But she seems to be able quickly to size up a situation, and so far has been remarkably sure-footed.

If Republican leaders don't want Palin, you'll start hearing negative stories about her on Fox News, and from leading conservative talk shows and blogs, and enthusiastic conservatives will turn elsewhere.

Jonathan Berns ... whatever ...; here's someone who has actually been on another planet for the past two years.

How can someone vote for a person who thinks US black ops were responsible for the Haitian earthquake?

How could you vote for someone who joined with John Kerry to abandon and betray U.S. POWs and MIAs in Vietnam in order to curry favor with the Communist government of Vietnam?

I will vote for someone who is emotionally disturbed before I vote for someone who stabs my fellow countrymen in the back.

I will vote for Baldwin every time before I ever support that two-faced Rat bastard McCain!

You can take that all the way to the bank.

"there's just no way that anyone is going to select her as their running mate after the way she treated the McCain campaign."

The way she treated the McCain Campaign? This is a glimpse into how these useful fools in the media will spin it with an extra helping of lies. They are taking that car for its last joyride before it hits the junkyard of history. As a former journalism major, I am sick at what our media has become.

I would appreciate it if you kept the dialog on the subject of Jonathan Bernstein’s opinion piece.

Your questions about those who I describe as suffering from Palin Derangement Syndrome, pierce through the deception I see really at play. I have many times asked them who do they want to win in 2012? The never have an answer. Never.

Why they never have an answer is because their game is entirely focused on seeing Republicans loose in 2012. All they do is throw out the same old attacks which sabotages the discussion of the issues being addressed with the post. With the issues not discussed, there is no longer any learning process and the marketing of our ideas to the rest of the Ethernet.

They could just as well be working for Zer0. By the way, if Zer0 does get reelected, they will be working for Zer0.

"If party leaders don't want Palin -- and I think they'd be nuts to want her, but that doesn't mean they won't -- then they'll have little trouble keeping the nomination from her."

Do you agree with Jonathan Bernstein's statement? Do you think it is an accurate description of how the "party leaders" in the Republican Party will treat Sarah Palin?
