I belong to NO party. For whatever reason too many people here cannot fathom that there is a difference. Miss Coulter is also a conservative and many here have done their best to offend her because she does not agree with the party line.
In war one keeps all of his allies, you may not like them but just perhaps they do not like you either. Driving away conservatives is very foolish.
Non-Republican "conservatives" aren't really "conservatives" at all. Real conservatives are interested in getting as much conservative bang-for-their-vote as possible and understand that voting Republican is the only way to do it.
Non-Republican "conservatives" help get Democrats elected. Have you taken a good look at the Democratic Party lately, cynicom?
With Democrat presidents you get Ginsberg, Breyer and Stevens. With Republican presidents you get Kennedy, O'Connor, Thomas, Rhenquist and Scalia. No contest - and Souter was nothing more than a mistake.
The RINO Arlen Specter pushed so hard for Clarence Thomas, the most conservative member of the Supreme Court, that I thought he'd hemorrhage. Arlen Specter!
So please cynicom; no more sermons about your fake conservatism. The best way to defeat liberalism is to defeat Democrats...and there's only one way to do that.
Vote Republican.
