I never post in anger. Ever.

I am sick to death of being told I'm not conservative enough.

And I am not alone.

And don't lecture me.

Consider yourself off.

[dirtboy]

No, you're wrapped so tight you think you ARE conservative convictions.

Abortion and gun rights ARE conservative convictions. Yet you find them to be a foot on your neck.

After all these years on FR, you finally let your true colors show.

[NormsRevenge]

Thanks for posting that in your inimitable 'post-partisan' way.. ..

Gee, I'd sure like to see a Recall do-over here in California, wouldn't you? Think of all the money we wouldn't have to piss away on more socialism and think of all the splinters we wouldn't have to pull out of our butts from the Trojan Horse you still shovel poop for.


You can only fool folks so many times, FO ... but that doesn't stop you or your team from trying the same old gambit.

Thanks for posting this thread, btw, it was most illuminating..

[dirtboy]

I don't have a damn thing to explain to you, Nancy.

I guess you rely on insults when your own words betray your true convictions ... or lack thereof.

I suppose, if irrevocable, for those few gay lawyers and such with a steady partner that are into such arcane legal paperwork stuff. But even that won't affect state giving of benefits. So it still is not a co-extensive propostion, even for the cognescenti.

[dirtboy]

I never post in anger. Ever.

Oh, that is your best one yet. You are the queen of the personal attack. So then, do you do such by cold calculation?

[Peach]

There are so many different kinds of conservatives, about so many issues, but these purists just think they're the real deal.

They're so pure that two freepers posted on the open forum that they were going to vote for Hillary over Rudy and would financially support her and would post the endorsed check here to prove it. Yup - sounds like a true blue conservative to me.

[Howlin]

Honest to God, you post like a high school girl.

[dirtboy]

BTW, I like it that you embarassed yourself by pinging xsmommy.

The only person who has embarassed herself here is you, Howlin.

[do the dhue]

I don't know if it would be proper for me to support Rudy.

For years I trashed Bill Clinton because of his morals.

Now, I have the choice to vote for Rudy who morally made mistake along the same lines as Bill Clinton.

I say that a man enters marriage with the purpose of becoming one with his wife.

She is him and he is her. She is your best friend because she is you.

Now, if I were to cheat on her, I would be cheating on myself.

If I would hurt the trust of my best friend, how could I expect my friends to trust me.

I am not comfortable with Rudy. I think he should run as a Demorat.

His past would be a benefit in the Demoratic Party.

BTW:

[dirtboy]

Honest to God, you post like a high school girl.

I'm not the one spewing personal attacks, Howlin. Just re-posting your own words.

[Howlin]

Yet you find them to be a foot on your neck.

No, I find those of you who demand that we all do it your way to be a foot on the neck of the GOP; you're blackmailed this party for the last 3 election cycles.

[Howlin]

Are you kidding?

[dirtboy]

No, I find those of you who demand that we all do it your way to be a foot on the neck of the GOP;

No, foot on the neck of the Rockefeller Republicans.

Reagan was pro-life and pro-gun and showed y'all how to win.

[Sunsong]

The word here was that Rudy would NEVER make it in SC. He WON!

[Peach]

Nope. Didn't recognize their screen names, but they had sign up dates that went back a few years.

BTW, have you noticed it's the same 6-8 posters who are nearly hysterical. Every day.

[Torie]

Here is the deal. The GOP has two or more wings. The idea is that if the one wing wins the primary, fair and square, the other wing sucks it up. If that compact is broken, than yes, the GOP will cease to be competitive, unless one wing gains majority status, which is a ludicrous proposition. Having said that, I respect votes of profound conscience, or concern about the character of a particular candidate to lead, and will not traduce anyone for doing so. I have done that myself, but rarely.

[BonnieJ]

That is the reality they are trying to obscure, he did win. And I honestly believed the hype here and thought he could not.

[zbigreddogz]

Oh come on, I've been as down on Hunter as anybody, I don't think he's a serious candidate, but unless you have some evidence, you shouldn't go around insinuating that he's got any corruption problems like Cunningham did just because he's from the same state.

If you have any evidence, show it. If not, shaddup.
