The meanest leanest RINO exposer of all time..
Sets her trap.. The RINOs WILL S.T.A.M.P.E.D.E... On this one..

The mere hard core democrats will hardly notice..
Hardest news to them is the advance she got.. (3 million)..

Its true, the "truth" in a hyperbolic situation seems like hyperbole, when its really merely only "the TRUTH"..

There are two never-ending, non-issue battles at FR that have been going on since the beginning, and will forever: the "true believers vs pragmatists" and "Firebrands vs Influencers". This thread is an example of the latter.

FR is an activist site. Therefore, it should be no surprise that about 60% here live for the fight. They consider themselves warriors for conservative causes, and they NEVER stop fighting liberals. Even if there was an issue they agreed with liberals on (immigration), they would find a way to ATTACK because that's what they do. And let me say here and now that they are a vital part of the conservative movement.

I do NOT live for the fight, however. Oh, before Schaivo, I was one of you, it was a game to me: attack, attack, defend, defend. It was spy vs spy, back and forth, battle for its own sake. But after Schaivo, I was wounded to the core. I waked away from that episode feeling dirty and mean, having used tactics that I would have found abhorrent in others. Never again.

I decided from that moment on, that I am a conservative, not an operative. FR has enough Patrick Henry's, I'll be a Jefferson. There is an old Indian saying: it doesn't do any good to cut off a man's nose and then give him a rose to smell. I have actually CONVERTED 3 different liberals to our cause, using honey instead of vinegar.

So call me PC. Call me a RINO because I persuade instead of attack. That's fine.

How many have you conservative warriors converted? Is your adversary very receptive after you bloody his nose?

I'm with sinkspur, for once.
