Uh, I never "blackmailed" anyone.

You made the charge. Show me where I did, or apologize.

On the one hand, you're telling people who are angry about this to "leave the party" then you say only a "true fool wants defeat."

The solution is to get the people in power to act like conservatives, which they obviously haven't.

You say we are "unnapeasable." I agree there are people who have the attitude of "give me 100% of everything I want or else."

They were never supporters to begin with.

FOr the most part, people are are mad at Bush aren't that, because we've supported this guy for 5+ years.

And, don't say that I am "unnapeasable" b/c if Bush had of chosen a proven strict constructionist, a "known commodity" we wouldn't even be having this convo.
