Why don't you guys keep it up and divide the GOP as much as you can then on election night maybe Michael Moore, George Soros, Whoppi Goldberg, John Mellancamp or Chevy Chase will invite you to one of their victory parties.
Actually it is the Social Conservatives that make the GOP consistently less attractive. I would postulate that there are actually very few hard core liberals out there who really support what the RATS are doing.
It is the SC's who scare away the moderates with their Taliban rhetoric. Without the SC's providing RATS ammunition to scare the moderates (most of America) the Republican party would sit squarely in the middle with the lunatic fringes to the left and right.
Sometimes having a larger tent means making it uncomfortable for those who liked their company small and their thiking rigid.
Spare us the histrionics will ya?
Some of us give a damn about conservatisms future that's why we bitch. Hell, somebodys gotta keep pulling back on the reigns of the Christian right so we don't get pulled over the cliff.
Why does that mean we're going to vote for anti-American idiots like those you mentioned?
I completely agree. You guys need to take a good, hard look at the potential damage caused by your criticisms here. The purpose of the convention is to GET BUSH ELECTED, not to reassure a bunch of ultra conservatives that the republican party supports your sometimes very narrow-minded ideas. When are you all going to realize that the responsibility of our government is not to tell us all how to live our lives, but to secure us on all levels so that we can live our own. I'm not saying that I agree with gay-marriage or abortion or anything else -- I'm just saying that those issues are a helluva lot less important right now than doing WHATEVER it takes to elect the ONE man in this country who can keep us secure. Wake up. Take a look at what's really important, and if you decide that you can't deal with the social policies, then get your butt out there in your own community and address it yourself. My president has more important things to worry about.
