"As is always the case with you fringe reactionaries, you can't sustain an argument on the merits without quickly descending into a huff about how principled you are and how much the other guy lacks principles. How convenient. Lacking common sense and anything but silly rhetoric with which to make your case, I supposed you do need to at least pretend you have the high ground."

Oh, my...now I'm a fringe reactionary! Just because you don't think my arguments have merit (because you disagree with them) does not mean my arguments lack merit. If you can't stand the idea that others don't agree with your Broken Glass Republican stance, then maybe, for the sake of lowering your blood pressure, you really should move on to another thread.

It defies common sense to keep voting for GWB when he's not giving us what he promised, and yet you call those of us who will likely withhold our votes lacking in common sense? That's rich...

Being principled doesn't involve "silly rhetoric" (whatever that means; I'm sure you just threw that in in the middle of your silly huff about how we all think ourselves so principled). It involves having principles and sticking to them.

So get some.

I hear a lot about principles. Here are my principles:

1. The defense of this nation must be the first priority of the president.

2. Our national security will never depend upon permission from another country.

3. The war on terror must be prosecuted on all fronts and as strongly as is possible.

4. Taxes should continue to be cut, and should not be increased.

5. The traditional values of our nation should be upheld by the presidency.

On all of these issues, President Bush is far superior to any of his challengers. Supporting him is not a caving in, but a matter of principle.

The defense of this nation cannot be given over to the democrats. Any action which enables that contingence is foolish if not malicious.
