There are two things I take issue with on your post. First is the above pasted quote. McCain is arguably conservative most of the time, but loyal? That is indeed a strech. McCain is loyal first and foremost to himself (after of course loyalty to country and state). He has never failed to shake hands with the devil to suit his own agenda at the expense of the party.
Second, speaking only for myself, I never have and never will use terminology such as you listed to describe our political enemies (and yes, the opposition is in fact our enemy in this arena). That said it is not my place nor my desire to impugn my fellow freepers for their use of such words. Yes it is innane (in my own opinion) but if that gets their point across in the way they want then God bless them. You need to realize, FR is a great source of info but it is also a place to vent frustration and in no small way a site with good entertainment value. Besides, there is entirely too much of dictating what people should or should not say coming from the other side these days.

Yeah, what GD said!
