Are you pro-life? If so, do you accept the Randian/self-interest/pro-abortion plank in their platform?
It's what keeps me out of the Libertarian movement.
Actually, FR did support the reelection of George Bush but that's not my point.
Some of the discontented said they have dropped out, it was all over in 1865, etc. So, if that is really the way you discontents feel then you would find other entertainment.
But, as we both know, that's not it. You're like flies buzzing around a cowpie. You're not part of it but you want to smell the action.
While we may agree, your tag is still unpronounceable.
See ya.
I have a right to speak, according to the First Amendment, and a right to post on FR, if I follow the rules.
If FR exists only to cheerlead the Republican Party, then it's declined a long, long way since the old days.
It's going to be another Bob Dole year. Condi Rice was our only hopeful candidate with enough "star" power to knock out Hillary. I'm going to throw away my TV....I won't be able to stand watching her on it every day!
No one has challenged your right to speak although speaking here is up to the folks who own this website. That is true for all of us.
FR is doing just fine. There are still plenty of discontents buzzing around but there are a lot more good conservatives with common sense and that's what keeps it healthy.
I'll let you in on a secret: Guiliani would destroy Hillary. She's lost her far-left base because of her support for the invasion of Iraq, and that just enough for a loss in the general election.
Common sense means W is the Second Coming. Errr...no.
Oh, and "discontent" means "someone dares to disagree with me."
In an open forum, you mean to say "opposing viewpoint." Stop letting emotion get in the way of your rhetoric, and pay attention to the terms you pick up from other people. Some day, it may make a difference.
It's been a blast. I've got to go teach class. There are mushy young minds to mold and all...
I agree the system sucks and doesn't reflect many of our ideals, but good people disengaging is what allowed it to degenerate. It may be an uphill battle to nudge it back into the true mainsteram, but it's a battle that needs good people to engage in.
I think that is what many are doing. They will no longer vote for any big government, socialist puppet no matter what party letter they have tattooed on their arse.
I think Governor Haley Barbour (R-MS) will be the next US President.
Yes she said it yesterday that accepting the VP slot is the same thing. She's not running for President or VP.
It will never happen. Bush is too loyal to Cheney and Cheney will not leave until the end of the term. Condi is not going to run and that's that. But the media and Dick Morris can keep pushing it and look like fools. I personally think she has her eye on Football or teaching.
Condi is at risk of winning the Presidency as an involuntary write-in candidate.
Actually, I think she's more likely to turn up as a Vice Presidential candidate. And as VP candidate, she'd ensure the victory of just about any Presidential candidate. She can protest 'til the cows come home, but when the leading Republican Presidential candidate goes to her and says "We need you," don't be too surprised if she says "Yes".
I looked at the issue of abortion as outside the jurisdiction of the Federal government. I think that short of a constitutional amendment one way or the other, it ought to be left to each state to decide.
Thank you for your reply.
Since I have to deal with the NC Libertarian Party, hard-core pro-abortionists who support infanticide in the name of "self-interest."
Murder to serve selfishness.
It's wrong on any level.
