You wrote something to the effect of "Rudy is a conservative, just not your type of conservative". If I'm mixing you up with someone I sincerely apologize. Do you think that Rudy is not conservative?
You were absolutely positive in what you quoted me as saying. You were specific about pro-abortion and pro-gun.
Link it.
You have quite a few broad stroke criticisms of some of the people on this thread. Care to pinpoint who you're talking about and offer some evidence/examples?
I know many of these people and some of them have done more over the last ten years to advance conservatism than you could possibly imagine. Most do more in a week than I would guess you do in a year.
You seem to me to be one of those people who feel if someone else doesn't believe exactly as you do on issues that doesn't make them true "conservative". No one individual is the repository of all things conservative and people gravitate toward the issues important to them. Economic conservatives may not be as concerned for social issues and vice versa. Nothing wrong with that, it's just the way things are.
You're "one size fits all conservatism" is debilitating to the overall cause.
