I firmly believe that we are at a crossroads with respect to the future of our republic. We can either uphold the status quo of RINOism, globalism, and the slow slide into the abyss of full-blown socialism... or we can FIGHT. Not just with words, not just online, but with money, with time, with action. We can replace the current crop of elitist RINO politicians... with leaders.
Donate. Volunteer. Spread the word. Everyone is good at something... do whatever you can to effect change, and WE WILL CARRY THE DAY. Can you imagine the financial impact of everyone on this site making a donation, not just to the primary candidate in their state, but to ANY viable conservative candidate?
The time to change the course of history for our country will be in the next primary election. Let’s do it.
Tarred and feathered, and thrown out of office. That would have been Graham’s fate in a more civilized era.
Misquoting is not something we should tolerate... yes we can say the quote captures the gist of Kerry’s legacy but when you put quote marks around something is has to mean something. People who like to pat themselves on the back over their principles shouldn’t just let this slide. That was my point in questioning the opening quote.
Graham's got a big war chest, I understand; and it's not going to be easy for a challenger to succeed in the Republican Primary against him, but a grassroots rejection of Lindsey--remember how Chambliss and Isakson were booed by Republicans?--might force the State GOP to reject the renomination of Lindsey as political suicide.
The key, I think, is to find a replacement for Lindsey now.
Lindsey's served as a useful idiot for the likes of Teddy Kennedy before. He'll do it again. He lacks the wit to avoid it, and he might have something up his sleave--like getting to be some RINO's Vice Presidential candidate at some time in the future, or something like that. He's gotta go.
so don’t let it slide. conduct a search for each an every instance kerry is misquoted and lecture to the people who have misquoted him. unless youre really just patting yourself on the back for pointing out an error that everyone else takes for fact.
Shouldn’t we point out an error that everyone takes for fact? Do you see something disingenuous with that? Imagine the misquotes that will be made for Fred Thompson. Shouldn’t these too be pointed out too?
absolutely. you have a lot of work ahead of you. :)
My point is that I’d expect a little help from those who indulge themselves with claims of having principle. I’ll see you then.
Done. I was the one who first brought it up and tried to enlist the help of Freepers. My memory or my search techniques could have been faulty so I questioned myself first. Pissy? That’s what I’d call your first comment to me but I may have misinterpreted.
But it looks like Graham is the alternative so ...
Ha!... ARROGANT BASTARD most politicians are, but this one!... is a special one... He has all the makings of the "McCacain the II." Politicians are so full of themselves... but when they actually see their *ss is on the line...Boy, do their "convictions" change quickly. I detest people like that, especially politicians.
It is rewarding to see that now with the Internet, we are able to REMEMBER all their transgressions and bring them back at the proper time. We no longer are the bunch of idiots that can easily be manipulted by political consultants who had it as a rule we would forget everything by the next election. Just look at Mr McCacain... he is paying and will pay back for all the backstabbing to the Republicans just a few months ago.
Nice recovery. Just to be sure, let's take another look together...
I began my first post to you with "good question." That seems innocent enough. So far so good. Though you might have taken that to mean, "geez and pete, you moron, what the hell is the matter with you?"
I dunno. Let's continue... "i searched around and found that quote was attributed to kerry on several sites but i have not found a direct source siting the moment he said it." Ah,... an effort was made to help clear up the matter. It's a stretch but maybe you mistook this to mean "you are a low life piece of trash that i wouldn't waste a moment of my time on". again, i dunno.
No matter, my search for a quote was inconclusive so I closed with a possible scenario that you likely took to mean that I was insulting your race, religion, or sexual preference, "it could be that people are paraphrasing his comments. in any case “I was for the war before I was against the war” has become kerry’s legacy."
I'm going to have to go with you "may have misinterpreted". Notice the fine use of quotation marks. : )
Pissy or not, what's the deal with lambasting me for questioning the initial quote this article was based on? Seems strange and misplaced effort to me and WAY TOO MUCH WORK.
Done all that. We’ve been down this path before.
