Well, "faux conservatives" or "pretend conservatives", it adds up to the same party-above-principle Big Tent CAGOP crowd of centrists/moderates who fall for the liberal line because they stand for nothing themselves. They have for far too long cluttered up this conservative site.
I think that partisan Republicans add a useful dimension to this forum. They give it depth. They cause conservatives to think, to research, to analyze and to respond.
Without the partisan, forum dialog would be simple agreement. It would be dull. It would be preaching to the choir. Were it not for partisans, would calcowgirl have done the research?
I am thankful when partisans, whether the FairOpinion account or the tamzee account or the Alia account, participate to these discussions. Their participation incites responsibility. Injecting their partisan views demands a more informed and studied response from conservative ideologues.
When partisan Republicans participate, conservatives benefit.
I know this is a California thread but also a "conservative" thread. Hopefully, you won't mind if I repeat the above paragraph.
