This kind of arrogant, pointless response is all you and the other GOP Kool Aid drinkers have posted on this entire thread. You have not said one single thing of any substance, just this kind of arrogant contempt for thosue of us who actually defend conservative principles even when they are under assault from your precious party.
Refuting you,though easy, is pointless
If it's so easy, why don't you do it instead of engaging in more nasty, mean-spirited, name calling liek a liberal does?
that which you make claims to want, will only come in dribs and drabs with a majority GOP Congress and president.
Again, one more time, since I am trying to have a rational discussion, how will this miracle happen, since the Republicans do at least as much to increase spending and impose Big Government as Democrats do? They did it in the Nixon Administration, the Ford Administration, the first Bush Administration, and now in the second Bush Administration. Name something they have done to move things in our direction. One thing. We're all waiting.
Yes, I know you don't care about that...it's ONLY your supposed " principles " that matter.
That is snotty, arrogant, and a violation, IMO, of the personal attack rule. Your snide, condescending tone does not help your argument, but it it typical of a cornered statist.
I have devoted my life to the conservative movement. My parents were among those who worked to found the Conservative Party. I worked on many of its campaigns. I have done whatever I could for Barry Goldwater, both Buckleys, Phil Crane, Ronald Reagan, and other conservatives. I have also worked to oppose such liberals as Clinton, Carter, Rockefeller, and others. (Oops, I forgot. To you, Lord Nelson couldn't hve been a liberal -- he had an R after his name.) I spent 12-13 years in Young Americans for Freedom, served on the State Board for two years, served on Platform Committee at 3 YAF National Conventions. I have been a member of the Conservative Caucus. I was involved in the Young Conservative Alliance for a while. I have been and am an active member of the DC Chapter of FR. How dare you question my conservatism?
I'm not the one posting here on behalf of an Administration and a compliant Congress that have increased the Federal role in education, passed massive agricultural subsidies, imposed steel tarriffs, apologized to the Chinese after they shot down our airplane, destroyed our freedom of speech in the period before an election in the name of campaign finance reform, greatly increased the power of teh government to spy on citizens, given the government the power to make a citizen disappear, and created the most massive entitlement program in almost 40 years, among other things. I'm the one arguing in opposition to all of that and in oppostiion to the politicians who gave us that (none of which I supported.) And you dare to questionn my conservatism?
The Conservative Party, in N.Y., is a hapless thing, one of many such parties, and one of the many, who gives their line on the ballot to people who are on MANY lines ( Rudy was on their line, as well as many others ), or to nonentities with no chance of winning move than a few votes.
I worked for both Buckleys' campaigns, as well as on many others. SO WHAT ? I FREEPED, all alone at great danger to myself, before there ever was such a thing.Big deal...again SO WHAT ? I don't need to prove myslef/bolster my ego, by listing every single thing I have ever done, politically,during my entire life, on FR; unlike you. And, your credentials don't prove a thing; not a damned thing about your political acumen.But, your post sure do...you have none!
I didn't call you names, I didn't personally attack you, and you're behaving exactly like Howard Dean. If you can't take the heat on FR, then don't post or read it; or just ignore the posts that so offend and hurt you. You like to dish it out, but can't take even a wee smidgen of it back. TOUGH !
