This is what crack me up, onyx:

We have freepers (I use the term loosely as I think a lot of them are trolling for votes from the Democrat side of the aisle and trying deliberately to stir dissent among conservatives) who are absolutely hating every single presidential Republican nominee. On every thread, they make fun of the nominees or talk about why a third party vote is better than voting for a RINO.

Now, in real life, not one single conservative I know of in real life talks that way. The grown ups understand full well that no one candidate will ever exemplify all our values. And the only single issue we care about is national security because without it, if we start getting attacked like Israel (which isn't far fetched at all), the last thing Americans will be wondering is what a candidate's stance on abortion is or whether the Republicans spent too much money these last few years.

So when I see stuff like this about someone I thought was a staunch conservative, I just have to think that the party as a whole has moved to the middle because that's where the country is. And that very few of them have a solid core.

Bush isn't perfect and he's ticked me off to a fairtheewell on a few occasions, but he is the one man in the country as far as I can tell who has stood firm in the face of the jihadists and people who want to destroy our country.
