Vanity: Questions regarding the Republican Platform, is it pro-life, pro-family?

[gidget7]

"Look at Massachusetts. Could any Democrat, even in that liberal state, have pushed through gay marriage and socialized medicine like Mitt Romney has?"




Good point! And no.

[madprof98]

Your bringing Jim Robinson into this is showing your acting like a crybaby. What are you trying to prove by mentioning his name?

You evidently did not notice that Jim Robinson posted the Vanity which led off this thread. His thoughts . . . to put it mildly . . . are not your thoughts.

"If the GOP want to hang its collective hat on "electability", it can do it without my support. Shove a RINO like Giuliani (or any of the other media-created frontrunners) down out throat in the primaries, and you'll need to go forward in the general without us."


^5! Some of us, more than others may think, stand on principal, and are convictions are strong and clear! THAT is what made this nation strong, and God willing, will make it strong once again.

The nerve of us, demanding integrity and values of our leaders! /sarc

I vote Republican not conservative.

Wow.

I vote Republican not conservative.

Wow.

Give him credit - he's more honest than most of them.

"The party isn't getting my money or my time. They might get my vote."

Ditto.

[EternalVigilance]

Point taken.

I think a lot of us who are supportive of Guiliani agree with what you said... meaning we are pro life and pro gun, and we also believe that at this time the WOT takes precedence, and that Guiliani is tough enough to take on the battle.

Personally, I have little confidence that McCain or Romney are the men to fight that war. I admit I do not know enough about Duncan Hunter, or any of the others. However, I am willing to listen to their views on all the issues, and if one of the candidates incorporates all my beliefs then great they have my vote, if not I am voting for the person I believe can best defend us and right now that is Guiliani.

That being said, when I go into the voting booth on election day I will support the Republican candidate be it Guiliani or anyone else. The bottom line is, I know we will never win the WOT with Hillary or any other Democrat in office.

Jim, radical feminists have pretended to be Republicans since the middle of the 1800s for the purpose of re-making our Party into another Democrat Party. Even Susan B. and her friends specifically worked to flatter and recruit as many left-leaning Catholics as they could (quotes of Susan B. speaking for inclusion of those "counting" their "beads" in radical feminist organizations), as the immigration influx of the 1800s occurred. And as I wrote before, Anthony went with George Train (Democrat racist) later on and broke-up anti-slavery meetings with speeches in favor of secession. The romanticism of the "South" was attractive to her--an environment very conducive to her gathering of more adherents to feminism, public education, anti-defense speech (as to feminists, only "males" start wars) and so on. To this day, radical feminists work hard to affect Republican policies and give us what is effectively a one-party system.

Feminists (even though lurking in our own Party discourse) hate leaders with the views of Bork and try to sway us toward nominating male feminists. That's why with similar personal histories of divorce, they so much prefer Giuliani over a man like Gingrich.

I was posting at you. Keep turning it around.

What the Republican Party needs is a good, strong high-pressure enema to remove the 'progressive' RINO stools

Well, how do I respond to eloquence like the above? I'm afraid you're just going to have to get used to so-called RINO's which I suspect is lable that you just slap on willy-nilly to every Republican who dares disagree with you.

[janetgreen]

i've been following this dog and pony show for too long...it's old, stale and frankly i've wised up.

Thank you. This has been a very heartening experience since I wrote that post to Jim. Between the replies in the open and those in Freepmai, I've learned that here are lot of Rudy supporters who just didn't/don't want to come forward because it wasn't worth the flamefest.

[Melas]

Take a look at Spiff's very cool chart (hat tip to Spiff!), is that how you envision a win?

Far be it for me to compete with charts.

[Melas]

I really don't see them as indistinguishable from core WOT concerns.

Ok, for starters, my support for Rudy goes well beyond WOT concerns. Rudy is a grade A executive. Fiscally, he worked as much magic with NYC as he did with cleaning up the streets. The guy is simply great CEO material, and I believe that when he becomes president, he's going to do nothing but good things for America. That's why I'm helping to put him into office.

[Howlin]

Amen.

"Are they 'freepers'? Or are they just playing one online?"

We've definitely been infiltrated. That's to be expected. But who knows? Maybe we'll convert a few percent in this weighing of ideas.

[DKNY]

Anyone who posts here, and those who come just to read what's going on know freepers have strong opinions and have no problem expressing them. That is what makes FR so great!

[Mo1]

Sorry Jim, but radical candidates like Keyes are bad for the party, and ultimately bad for the country. They have no real chance for national office no matter how well they are polling on Free Republic

BUMP!

[labette]

Excellent idea/post!

Make 'em look at it in black and white....err, uhh,,,red and blue.
