Re your #306 on this thread, there isn't a characterization strong enough to express my pleasure about what you had to say. I, too, am so [blanking] tired of these perpetually disgruntled types. They keep whining about their principles, all the while more than insinuating that no one else has any but themselves. How convenient. If "the other guy" is unprincipled then they can smugly and self-righteously dismiss anything he has to say. And, of course, if “the other guy” is unprincipled, then the terminally smug get to pat themselves on the back over their own “principled” stance. It’s a circular, self-reinforcing position — but then, so is that of a dog chasing it’s own tail.

They keep whining about their principles...

As opposed to prostituting them for votes.

Don't forget: Mark Steyn called them the "death before electibility" crowd! LOL!

You're oh so right. Their arguments are circular. And we get nowhere trying to refute them. We have bigger fish to fry, like the re-election of this President, winning the war on terror, battling the moral fatigue of the left, defending America's values in a dangerous and hostile world, reforming our courts with judicial nominations that respect and understand the original intent of the Founders, and bringing faith back into the mainstream of American society. George W. Bush is committed to these things. Apparently, the naysayers are not. To h*** with them. Follow or leave...whatever their wish. But I will not waste more of my valuable time stroking their egos by giving their intellectual drippings further attention.
