I am uncommitted at this point on 2008, as I have several favorites.

However I have to say this:

I HAVE NEVER SEEN SUCH A COMMITTED LIBERAL EFFORT TO DESTROY A CONSERVATIVE U.S. SENATOR (ALLEN) BUT WHAT IS MOST STOMACH TURNING IS THAT SOME CONSERVATIVES ARE ACTUALLY JOINING IN ON IT BY BASHING ALLEN OR BELIEVING THE SPIN BY THE LIBERAL MEDIA.

It is absolutely reprehensible that Conservatives and Republicans are not closing ranks 100% unequivocably behind Allen, even on FR. Even some of them are showing up on this thread here. Will more show up after my post here??

Sheesh, the liberals' work (lies, smears, mudslinging, race-baiting, character assassination) has been done; they must be chuckling as they see even 'conservatives', this late in the General election, take some kind of issue with Allen and in doing so, help in some small way to deliver this senate seat to Webb (D-Liberal).

Well-said! I couldn't agree more. Thanks!

Yep. This is the mantra for the day, boys and girls.

I would say, it's all orquestrated by the Left. On the one hand, according to the media, Gulliani or weasel McCain are the LEADING candidates of the Republican party now.

On the other hand, they will do what it takes to destroy anyone coming down the pipe and even resembles GWB.

Gulliani is no wonder their favorite, because he has demonstrated his caliber already, except on his social values. An SOCIAL VALUES, RELIGION, GOD... is what this battle is all about.

The left thinks that if they convince enough non social values Republicans that God and morality is not important, and if one of these media darlings make it through the primaries, then, the pervert wing of the democrat party (same thing :) ? would vote for him as well - sort of the reverse with Liberman in Connecticut now - Then, the perverts/Democrats of this country would indeed achieve a great victory and happily lead this country to the lowest levels of morality straight to hell.

This needs to be repeated over and over again. Sadly instead of closing ranks , a lot of pubbies are playing politics becuase of '08.
