LOL! Just for the hell of it, I went back through everything you have posted since joining FR.
You have been critical of the RNC and Bush throughout. As a result you have spent most of your time defending your statements and your history seems quite combative.
I found not a single post of any significance that was not negative and confrontational, so I probably should just ignore you and your criticism. But the fact is that I can agree that in a perfect world your criticisms are sometimes quite valid.
But we do not have a perfect world and never will.
You must obviously see yourself as a intellectual conservative. As such you will never have anything positive to say. Liberal intellectuals have exactly the same problem. Nothing but criticism and disdain for imperfections. You remind me of Sabertooth, the "unappeasable".
Having said that, I will tell you that I am a moderate. I find myself in agreement with this administration's policy more than any previous administration, including Reagan's or the Bush 41 years. I am in complete agreement in principle with everything Bush has done and I see the wisdom behind all of his actions and proposals. As such we have little common ground except our voting patterns.
You will vote for Bush because you see him as the imperfect better of two evils.
I will vote for him because he represents all of my principles and ideas for what government should do. For the direction he is leading the country and for his domestic policies, ideas for border control and for entitlements. In short, everything...........
Bush represent me in every way. Yes, I fit the "BushBot" shoes.
But you have nothing positive at all to say. Nothing at all!
One wonders how we can be so diametrically opposed and still be in the same party.
Anyway, I will leave it where it lies and remain quite confident that Bush will go on to victory in November regardless of all this unnecessary and ridiculous criticism that I find inappropriate during the final stage of this election.
I will continue to defend my candidate, as I suspect you will continue to criticize his imperfections.
My point, if you need to hear it again, is that this is not a perfect world, a perfect man, a perfect party or a perfect election.
Reality is very imperfect and your cynicism will not change a single iota of it. Not a single bit.
Gotcha. The world isn't perfect, nor should perfection be expected. I agree with you completely.
You are absolutely wrong to say that my comments are always negative. Not true. And they are always written from a pro-Republican, activist viewpoint. I'm not one of those FReepers who takes his marbles and goes home in elections and the like. I hang in there and fight. It does bother me when some of my leaders aren't aggressive enough. But I still vote for them, and still defend them.
It's just that I see FReep as a forum for free and open discussion, including criticism. If more FReepers made thoughtful criticisms, instead of trivial jokes and cheerleading, I'd post less and seem less "negative."
