everyone just "picks a team" and starts hurling garbage at each other.
***looking at the title of this thread, that tends to bolster your point. But this was posted by a guy who hasn't picked a team, so it sounds like some people are more interested in hurling garbage than being real about supporting a social conservative candidate on a socon forum.
ROFLMAO! That would explain why every Guliani and Romney thread is totally spammed by Duncanites with their silly graphics and constantly repeated mantra. In fact, the other day a couple of us were discussing how the pro-Hunter threads were lucky to get 20-25 hits, and those by only 6-7 people, while the Guliani and Romney threads were getting hundreds of hits because of all the Duncanite spammers.
It seems you folks spend far more time on Guliani and Romney threads then you do on those supporting your own candidate.
I would go even further than you have.
I would submit that FR is not a "SoCon" site. It is a "Conservative" site. And Hunter is a "conservative" candiate. To label someone an SoCon, implies that one can be "social liberal" - and still be a conservative.
Rudy and McCain, and many of their supporters, are not conservatives - they're moderates or liberals. Some of them believe in SOME conservative positions, such as the war on terror, or reducing taxes BUT that doesn't make them conservative.
Take Rudy, for example, how is he a "Economic conservative"? He's in favor of the government paying for abortions!
As Rush stated, we're starting to redefine "conservative" to be nice to the moderates and liberal Republicans.
