I like all the talk radio shows, but folks we have to recognize that at times they are almost all name dropping, self aggrandizing, book and merchandise selling narcissists. Rush Limbaugh plainly cares more about his "reputation" than supporting a conservative.
Well, are you suggesting ONE BIG PARTY?
You sound like a democrat to me.
The Republican party is (or has been ) a conservative party.
You marginalize the base, you are self destructing.
PERIOD
[Sundry off-color remarks deleted].
Cheers!
I am not suggesting that at all.
I am only pointing out that this is what is happening. It has already happened in California. Shwartzenegger went in as the big Reagan conservative and is a huge liberal. McCain is running the same way. He has persuading lots of Republicans that he is a conservative, or conservative enough when it is clear that he is not. His election could potentially have the same destructive effect nationally that Shwartenegger's did in the California Republican party. Conservatives have been marginalized here because of it. He is dangerous to conservatives for this reason.
I believe that it is for this reason that people like Laura Ingraham have withheld their support for him.
“Yeah. Who the hell does Limbaugh, Robinson, Coulter, etc. think they are!”
People who stand to make a lot more money with Hillary in the White House. Ann will sell more books, Rush will get higher ratings and Robinson will get more donors. As usual, follow the money.
Lighten up, Francis.
Even if you agree in broad measure with Dobson's social goals there is no way to deny that by shafting FRed, he shot conservatism in the foot.
Cheers!
He gave a nod to Hunter and Tancredo, not to mention Huckabee and Brownback...
Good to know, thanks.
ROTFLMAO!!!! Yeah, riiiight. We'll see come November.
Author of McCain-Feingold.
Trashed the relatives of missing SE Asia vets -- while he was safely back home. Yes, I *know* the stories about how he turned down repatriation; but that does not give him a blank check.
Hates conservatives -- e.g. repeatedly snubbing CPAC.
Named Juan Hernandez as his outreach coordinator to Hispanics.
Member of the Gang of 14 which cost Bush a chance to pack the judiciary with Constitutionalists.
Against the Bush tax cuts on class warfare grounds at the time, lied about it this year.
Implicated in Keating Five.
Had a high-level staffer contact the Dems about switching parties in 2001; was beat to the punch by Jim Jeffords.
Too old.
Given to bouts of rage and shooting his mouth off.
Cursed out John Kyl.
Looks like Steve Martin.
Has Lincoln backwards: "With charity towards none, with malice towards all."
Nice try, though.
Cheers!
“Fred is COC which is also a cult according to Dobson.”
============================================================Where is the link for that?
There were many of us "stupid" SoCons here on FR that felt the same way about Fred, and predicted his demise long before Dobson said anything.
Perhaps in your zeal you refused to listen, and look at the writing on the wall.
“Shwartzenegger went in as the big Reagan conservative and is a huge liberal.”
Not true, we all knew that Arnold was liberal and no one thought that he was a Reagan conservative.
I was going to apologize because I thought your "he" reference was about Huckabee and now I see it was about Dobson.
But then you lie about me in this post.
If that wasn’t your attempt, then I apologize for intimating that you make intentional falsehoods. I cannot in good conscience withdraw my opinion concerning that, however, with Romney.
Ping.
For information about the Christian Coalition. That was led by Pat Robinson (who endorsed Rudy early when he thought he was winning)
Now I see that if we don’t rally around Romney, we will have McCain. Romney isn’t perfect, but his views are more conservative than McGuiliane.
The commnents from James Dobson shows the obvious. He is not perfect, and neither is Romney. But Romney is our best defense against the takeover of the Republican party by liberal RINOs
No big deal.
About Romney, at least he is campaigning on a fairly conservative platform. Whether you trust him is up to you. I myself cannot vote for McCain or Huckabee.
