Good blast from the past, that thread you linked. Thanks - I got a kick out of it - don't recall seeing it before, but have heard references to JR's past "anti-Bush" sentiment (and I recall seeing him "take it back" later, too).
I believe he did take it back, but I wasn't meaning to link to the first part of that thread, but rather from about #12 on back - this is the
proper link - it got into a heated discussion of Conservatives and the GOP, and this was 1999 - interesting that some of the same issues come up now - Conservatives and their place in the GOP.
I wasn't meaning to link to the first part of that thread, but rather from about #12 on back ... I saw that too. It's a perennial argument. "Move to the right." "NO! Move to the center." "We don't need your votes anyway." Etc. And of course, the ever popular, "I get to wear the [conservative|base] label, not you and your ilk."
I'm looking forward to new epithets. ;-)
