Rudy-bashing is fine if it’s well-supported, or even just civilized in terms of other FReepers and not extreme in its unfairness to Rudy. What is not fine is the endless stream of sheer hatred toward both Rudy and those who, whether they support him or not, dare to defend him on this site. If something isn’t done to reduce this, FReep will deservedly decline in reputation among thoughtful conservatives.

Since when do Conservatives march in lockstep. Conservatism is a movement that welcomes debate and ideas, not a movement that squelches it. Most of us haven’t seen anyone who is worth voting for, but that is no reason to rip on ones we don’t like.

Suppose Tancredo is the only one that meets the criteria and will only get 5% of the vote, do we have to vote for him?? Isn’t that political suicide??

Instead of anybody bashing ANYBODY, why don't we focus on digging for facts and finding new ways to get real news out to people who are neither posters nor lurkers here?

Love the sinner, hate the SIN needs to be practiced more often by us all. There is no need to bash moderates--nor is there any need to forebear with any who make a posting 'career' of bashing messengers of truth whether or not we like the message.

EVEN SO, the messengers can be bold with uncomfortable truths and still show decency--the truth is on the Conservative side.

Truth needs no defense...It is a lion that simply needs to be let out of its cage -- Charles Spurgeon

A couple of Proverbs: "The Fool hath said in his heart, 'there is no God.'" ... 'it is better to meet a bear robbed of her cubs than a fool caught in his folly' definitely apply around here at the moment.

Let's all grin and bear it--as gracious bearers of truth.
