Ick.
He's da mayor.
The strategy is to attract some liberal votes while dumping social conservatives. It worked for Weld in Massachusetts!
I use to be a drunken sailor. One the happiest times in my life, but I didn't have other peoples money to spend.
Can you please name all the Republican Administrations in the past century that were more socially conservative than our current one?
That's pure baloney. Political conventions don't sway voters. Political conventions are meant for loyal party activists to gather together and nominate their choice to run for POTUS. It's a big rally designed to call to action the party faithful and come together to renew an effort by joining in a common cause.
The Republican National Convention delegates are mostly made up of conservatives. Just like the Democratic National Convention will be made up of mostly liberals.
BWAAAAAHAHAHAHAA.
Never seen any bump in the polls after a convention, have you?
The "base" is as inconsequential today, as it was then. /sarcasm
The GOP never knows when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em.
I don't want to misrepresent myself. It was a sail boat. Not military.
Good heavens... not this garbage again... still...
Duh. And just who is watching the conventions. I'll tell ya. NOBODY! Its a one big infomercial with the media coverage driving what is broadcast on TV and what is revealed in the written word, ie.mags,rags & internet websites. For a few days people are subjected to overwhelming accounts from the conventions. Bottomline. Convention bumps don't mean much. What happens in the two months after the conventions does matter.
I like Zel, as well. I think he's very appropriate. Arnold, I don't know. I'd rather hear Michael Reagan, as I wrote in the other thread.
I'm curious, do you feel . . embarrassed . . by the President's view against permissive abortion, against so-called 'gay marriage'? Do you think he is embarrassed?
Maybe Rove is all wet on this. Maybe he should stop fretting, and stop whining, and get serious. The Party stands squarely against the Dem and their refusal to let through Bush court appointees, particularly on the issue of permissive abortion. Say that proudly - in prime time!
You have a problem with that?
They don't know how good they've got it, but it's apparently never enough.
"but no true social conservative other than President Bush will garner precious, limited network airtime."
Uh, Dick Cheney.
Going to be big fun for them, right? Maybe they can get Prescott 'Reagan' to come over after he's thought about his remarks at the Dem convention.
And as well, if you have Zel, who I like btw, why not Joe Lieberman, too? That way, you could keep Cheney off the platform. What do you think of Dick Cheney?
Sounds like Rove has got a real fun-time planned. And these conventions only come around once every four years. They'll have to wait another four to get it right.
And then you say to me - wait a minute, we'll see.
I'm sure the delegates will be warned in advance about standing up and cheering for liberal speakers like GovRino. It's Rudi`s city, I don't mind him. In fact, if they had some conservatives speaking in prime time, other then Bush and Cheney, I wouldn't mind the occasional centrist Republican voice. Liberals?... can stay home.
