No, it's just that at a certain point in a conversation, some folks stop and challenge the other as to whether they are conservative enough for this board. I believe my posting history speaks for itself.
Other motive's? I do fear the anointing of McCain or the Gun Grabber Giuliani. Neither of them will do for me! Rudy is undoubtedly the smarter. I can't stomach his social politics. McCain, what can I say? His person seems a lot like Dean.
If either of them is nominated, then that would certainly reflect a move toward the center for the Party. But that would not encourage me to give a vote to Hillary, by withholding my vote for the Republican.
Also, I had to take the day off for other reasons and posted the rant exactly at 9:00am. I wanted to be around, so as not to be thought of as a drive by.
Nothing wrong with ranting. But be prepared to defend it. So far, you are a bit short in that category. By saying you voted for Bush in 2004 and then complain about what he did in his first term does not assign a lot of credibility to your position.
