An even-tempered, well-spoken Dem like DC Bandita can't seem to catch a break here!
Here's one thing conservatives better decide: do they accept different viewpoints within the GOP or do they blow off Giuliani with typical RINO-bashing venom?
Does Rudy's lack of idealogical 'purity' lump with Chaffee, Voinovich and company? Demanding unflinching loyalty to a narrow outlook might wind up condemning the GOP (and conservatives) to a permament minority. Remember: Ronald Reagan was not above political expiediency, a great example being his selection of Sen. Schweicker as his running mate back in '76.
I have to laugh - because honestly, the discussion being had over here is a mirror of the discussion being had at the liberal blogs. It's all a struggle from the extremes of either party, railing against a pull to the center. The question is - how big is the center?
I've seen every type come through FR.
This one has no depth, no soul.
There's no "there" there.
It's not just young it's petrified too.
Young people should be open to learning.
This one is just sad.
Of course anyone who wants to try awakening it is welcome.
Oh give me a break. The democrats are just as narrrow minded. You think they are going to give up on gun control, aboriton on demand and gay rights. I say to them cease on these issures(as they tell me) and then we can talk. They will not. This is what drives them beyond anything. The social issues are what they are after. They could can less about foreign policy except to push for international gun control, abortion rights as a human right, somehow abolish war with international laws , open borders and destroy the nation state as we are all one now, gay marriage as a human right, food, clothing, housing, health care, transportation as human rights. Heck international socialim is their end game. Just a matter of how soon we get there. Hold hands now and sing "We are the World".
