But since you’re pushing the issue, here’s a good working definition: Moderate - Someone who has no problem in compromising core principles in order to “win”. (See “California Recall Election” for more information).

Moderates have no moral compass. They stick their finger to the wind and go with it.

Sean Hannity is a whiny little sycophant with the reasoning skills of an 11-year-old.

I love it how some people get all over Sean and call him an "unnappeasible ideologue" when he stands up on certain issues such as the Dubai Ports an Harriet Miers, and how other people call him an "unprincipled sycophant" for disagreeing on Rudy. The fact is, Sean is a really good guy who has his own opinions, and the personal attacks on him from both sides of FR piss me off.

Let me see if I have this straight: if a fetus is killing a woman, you think the woman should just die rather than save herself?

Actually, as I've posted elsewhere on this thread, if the mother's life is at stake, it then becomes an issue of self-defense. Self-defense is not murder.

How did you get that from her post? It states the opposite.

Now go back and make a funny picture; that’s the only input we desire from you on these forums.

Not true. Registered has fallen from his former status as a respected conservative parody artist. Since the time of the California Recall Election, where he made many graphics attacking and disparaging the leading conservative candidate and promoting the most liberal Republican, he's been on here attacking conservatives but once in a while doing something supportive of the troops. There's been some pro-Bush stuff but there was also the whole Jane Fonda/John Kerry hoax and the dustup with Getty Images that cast Free Republic in a negative legal light. Recently, he's made conservative Republican Duncan Hunter the butt of his graphical attempts at humor. He's also been busy attacking the Minuteman Project and conservative Republican Alan Keyes. He's joined forces with the subversive cabal that spends its time here promoting liberal candidates while working to demoralize the supporters of the conservative candidates and causes. If you don't believe me, just check his posting history. It's pretty sad, actually. If he'd flip back to the conservative side, we'd desire something from him here. Until then, he's about as desirable as a canker sore.

Yep, because we wish to vote for any R, we’re called Moderates. Those not voting R .... well, what can we call them... Half Marxist for giving Hillary half a vote?

Facts 1 and 2...no argument. Fact 3, I don't know the history of it and don't want to take the time to find out. Fact 4: ...taxes are still at historically high levels.

Really? Relative to what? Prior to the Kennedy tax cuts, the highest marginal tax rate was 92% on everything after $100,000. The current marginal tax rates are less than half of this, so how are they at "historically high levels?"

I’ll put you in the “Half-Marxist” category.

I never said anyone was a moderate! I said some here indentified themselves as moderates! What’s a matter have no brain? Reading comprehension skills? Idiot troll...

It’s a mad race to lock up the hunters, eh?

Yup, though not as much fun as competing for the madmen vote.

Sorry. What I meant was, what”s your plan B if Thompson doesn’t get in?

Right, I gotcha. And your tagline probably applies to me, too ... though, as I mentioned, pulling the lever for Rudy would be a bit of a tough call for me.

I would squish the chad for Romney (in the general election) without much hesitation.

Nothing to do with Rudy. I’ve never liked Sean. He’s a cheerleader, unless his listeners start clamoring. He doesn’t engage in fair debate. He’s obnoxious.

I agree with that; and he’s way to “nice” for my taste, if you know what I mean.

Some people think that the niceness thing is phony. I can assure you that when you listen to Sean, that's the real Sean you're hearing. Also, if he weren't so "nice" and patient, can you imagine what a madhouse Hannity and Colmes would be? (FWIW, I can also attest firsthand to Alan being a genuinely nice guy despite his dopey politics)

I guess what I like about Sean is that here in the New York area, he precedes the Great One Mark Levin. I love the contrast in their two styles. It's like going from one extreme to another. I'm a fan of both shows.

On the one hand Hannity really grates on me, and imo he's not blessed with great insight, but he's a decent commentator.

On the other

"unnappeasible ideologue" + "unprincipled sycophant" makes for really great ratings, and might even suggest he says what he means.

Lots of "unnappeasible ideologues" and "unprincipled sycophants" out there, depends on the glasses viewers, or posters, are wearing.

You can call me whatever you wish, but I will not be supporting or voting for any abortion rights, gay rights, illegal alien rights, gun grabbing liberal under any circumstances whatsoever. Rudy does not deserve conservative support, does not want it and will not get it.
Thank you very much.

So you choose to ignore one fact and to argue another.

So there’s nothing to discuss.

Good luck on your Guliani investment.
