To think my daughter and son-in-law in the Navy served in a combat zone for voters like this?

I used to respect you even when I disagreed with you.

No longer.

How on EARTH is this poster's comment a reflection on his views towards supporting the military? Just because he doesn't think YOUR GUY is the right candidate for the GOP, for reasons that are quite relevant to long-term GOP positions, you have the gall to call to make such a statement about him? Let along the fact that you put his post in large font and can't even exercise the freeper etiquitte to ping him?

Let's see - you also disparged the motives of pro-life organizations earlier - you implied they didn't want to see Roe v. Wade overturned so the donations would keep coming in. You and your ilk are working hard to make Rudy seem more conservative by tearing at the Reagan legacy. You act like Rudy is the only candidate supporting the war when there are several others, including those with a military background and national experience on military matters. You act like Rudy is the only guy who can win when he pulled out of the NY Senate race against the Hildebeast - he's 0-1 in national campaigns. You say he's a law and order guy when he circumvented federal law to maintain NYC's sanctuary city agenda. You seek to deal with valid conservative concerns about Rudy's positions by ripping into those core conservative positions as being stupid or ignorant. And then when it is pointed out that Rudy is pro-gun-control, pro-choice and pro-amnesty, you just say we're unappeasables. In other words, if we don't throw out SEVERAL core conservative positions (as opposed to one or two) to support your guy, we're just hack zealots.

Pathetic. Truly pathetic. If you think that approach is going to win Rudy the GOP nomination, yeah, it could. By rifting the GOP and ensuring a Dem win in 2008.

And then you will just blame the conservatives for your own damn political sell-out.

Just for the record. We have active duty children, my husband is a HUGE Sooner fan and pro life, pro gun, small government, low taxes, and a mean nasty Evangelical!

Well said, dirtboy.

Those type of posts are the hysteric rants of a desperate individual. In recent months, many folks around here have gone from level headed FReeper, to a state of extreme emotion.
