I stand by Jim’s vision too, at least most of it. I don’t stand by driving out conservatives for championing the leading Republican candidate. I think most of the people who are gone were, as Luke21 put it, natural allies whose political differences would have vanished whenever the Republican nominee is announced. I think the fratricide going on here, since FR is an actual force in today’s politics, hurts our cause.
I wouldn’t even venture on the Rudy threads as there was no discussion — it was an indoctrination. Rudy, while an admirabe man, is NOT a conservative. I am pro-life and pro-guns....to name a couple of things Rudy is not. He can suggest that he will pick justices that I would want, that does not mean he will. I want a candidate who espouses my views - especially in the primary. I don’t want a bunch of posters trying to force me to believe that Rudy is all things to all voters. I don’t buy into that. Rudy is what he is and he will govern with his own beliefs not mine. Therefore, I am relieved that the air is cleared.
We all need a time out — many of those banned needed it. Others just plain left. I am enjoying the quiet. ;^)
