Well, I happen to be a conservative, and have been since the late 1960s. What I'm not is one who will sit idly by in 2008 and watch this nation return the Clintons to the White House. I think it's very telling that the "true believers" on these threads say more vicious things about Giuliani (and Romney) then they do about Hillary. I think it's about time we demand that you people actually demonstrate that you're all conservatives, rather than spout empty cliches. Reading your comments, one would get the impression that "conservativism" has turned into mindless emotionalism. I think you're all mainly empty suits.
We true Conservatives are not backing hillary, but we are not backing a VIRTUAL, RINO CLONE of her either.
We are merely saying that if the Republican powers-that-be are SO STUPID as to run a liberal northeast-corridor, gun-grabbing, abortion-supporting (among his MANY liberal positions) candidate, then we are voting third party, writing in a candidate, or staying home. In short, we are NOT going to vote for a liberal demonRAT, OR a VIRTUAL liberal demonRAT like RINO-rudy (who, as a POSING "Republican", is actually WORSE that hillary.
If you and your kind are backing a RINO like rudy, ESPECIALLY at THIS stage of the game, then you ARE, in effect, helping ENSURE that the clinton's return to the White House.
We true Conservatives always KNEW that northeast corridor politicians were LIBERAL, whether there was a (D) OR an (R) next to their name, but after reading all of the fawning RINO-loving TRIPE on FR the last many months, it is BLATANTLY APPARENT that the same is true of their "constiuents" (actually "sheeple", "subjects", etc.).
Maybe it's just a mental deficiency that makes you all THINK you are "Conservative", or maybe it's just that your ULTRA LIBERAL environs make you THINK you are "Conservative" merely based on a relative comparison.
As a Liberal who THINKS they are "Conservative", maybe you'd like to commission a study, with tax payer dollars funding it of course, to determine the causes of your dementia, huh?
