Purplexed?
A polite way of putting it.
Bump
(((kidding)))
Pat Buchanan was the FIRST to say that the neocons had the long-range potential to destroy the GOP (even as it wins many elections). I think his first warnings pre-dated 1988. But most people cannot understand this line of thinking.
Amazingly stupid. The damage Leftist can do with Judicial appointments alone in 4 years would totally undo any gains Conservatives have made for the last 20 years. A large number of Reagan Judges are going to be retiring. 7 out of 9 Supreme Court Justices were born in the 1930s or 1920s. So the pseudo Conservative will throw a childish temper tantrum because they are not getting ONLY 100% of ONLY what they want, and thus dump all over everything they supposedly believe in away. Utterly stupid and childish behavior by petulant immature fools.
But then considering how the pseudos Conservatives only post 100% of the time ranting and raving at their own side, I think it is pretty clear they were never Conservatives but Deaniac "Virtual Campaigners" lying to us about their true agenda.
"Oh no! you must vote Republican or the Democrats will win!" Oh Please! I say so what? Has it made any difference?"
The guy lost me right there. That is beyond stupid.
This just seems to be typical third-party nonsense. How this idiot can sit there and yack about open-borders and how there are no Republicans to support on this issue given the actions of a majority of GOP Senators and the U.S. House indicates that facts are not relevant to this person - just make it up to cause as much potential inflamation to the readers as possible.
Some see principles as an impediment to winning.
Don't let the door hit your butts on the way out. You all have been nothing but a drag on the Conservative movement all along. You all will not be missed. The only difference between you and the Hard Leftist is what you want the Govt to do FOR you. Sorry but we Conservatives got better things to do then waste our time listening to you all bitch endlessly
I'm not quite there yet. However, the way things look and are going, with President Bush and RINOs, I feel I'm on a "slippery slope" with banana peels under both feet and I am having much difficulty, in finding fault with this rationale and simply, throwing my hands up and saying, I agree.
A blatant lie, and an incredibly stupid thing to say. Some of that is happening, but it is not because of conservative philosophy. The main difference between Paleocons and Neocons is that Neocons have evolved to recognize that in a world with ICBMs, Terrorism, etc. that an isolationist National Security policy does not and cannot work. We also recognize the communications revolution has made the world smaller and that the economy must adapt to it. Any Paleocon who disagrees demonstrates hypocrisy by actively participating in this by using things such as the internet and cell phones which have greatly contributed to this reality.
Yup, "I did not leave the GOP the GOP left me".
So I'm sure letting Hilary Clinton become president will be oh, so much better for conservative values than that evil "neocon" George Bush. At least you'll be able to feel smug and superior. As for foreign policy, the Islamist terrorist threat is similar to Communist threat in the Cold War. We cannot simply go back to isolationism and shutting our eyes to what is happening in the world -- not after 9/11.
Deal with us or you're gonna enjoy it to, whether you like it or not.
Well said.
The guy lost me right there. That is beyond stupid.
BUSH brought the fight to the terrorists...would this have happened with Kerry in the White House? Absolutely not. Would Roberts be Chief Justice and Alito an associate justice on SCOTUS? I don't think so...
As I recall, paleo-conservatives were twitchy about Bush from the beginning--not overjoyed. Alan Keyes and Pat Buchanan were plenty vocal in 2000. As a paleo myself, I want a conservative President and Congress. Still, I'd rather have Bush in the White House leading the war on terror than Gore or Kerry (or Buchanan). To say there's no difference between the parties is childish. It seems to me that Republicans need to keep fighting for our party--and not withdraw to thumbsucking on the sidelines.
