“You will not find anything I’ve said on this thread in support of this bill.”
Yeah right. You’re first inclination was to defend republicans of the demerits of this bill. You are one heck of a conservative.
“I’ve been posting on this forum for nearly ten years, and you have the audacity to call me a non-conservative simply because I won’t let you smear the entire Republican Party over a bill that hasn’t even gotten to the floor yet and which they were powerless to prevent.”
Yeah and McCain has been a “conservative” for 30 years and a hero to boot. I don’t think its audacity to accuse someone who takes a tepid response to this bill. I’ll say it. I’ll say what has been said by conservatives like Derbyshire over at National Review with whom I agree. Republicans these days are ok with big government. Your defense of republicans makes me think you of like mind. In case you haven’t got it, I am smearing the entire republican party. Justifiable so. The republican party gave us big government Bush in 2000 against big government McCain. And now McCain in 08. The republican party destroyed the momentum of 94 victory. The republican party destroyed any claim towards ethics and accountability in 06. I could go on and on about how the republican party that enjoyed the benefits of a conservative moment that started under Reagan ran it into the ground in just 6 years tops. Yeah you are a republican. Keep on defending them.
“I ask you, how with your short posting history, am I going to be able to differentiate you from a liberal troll coming here to sow dissent among Republicans?”
Well trolls tend to insult first. If anyone wants to go back on this tread, they will find that you were the first with the insults and the name calling .
“How retarded is it to blame the Republicans for something passing out of committee that they have ZERO chance of blocking in committee? Pretty damn retarded. You can’t filibuster something in committee. This site is becoming disgusting in blaming Republicans for things Democrats do.
Retarded.”
“Who is really defending conservatives on this thread?”
Me, you republican(as its now defined).
“I’ll never defend Chuck Hagel, but he is NOT the Republican Party.”
Comments are invited on this observation. And you call yourself a con?
You’re all over the place here.
You claim that you want to retake the Republican party. Okay, fine. I think you’re a nut, but taking back the party from losers like Chuck Hagel is probably something we could agree upon.
You don’t retake the party by insulting and demolishing it.
That’s what you should be doing to Democrats, and why that’s foreign to you, I don’t know. Perhaps you do.
I never responded to the merits of this bill because the main thing I noticed was your reply #1 which wrongfully and shamefully put the blame on Republicans. You can’t defend that either factually or logically. And you sure can’t reconcile it with your tepid defense of the Republican Party you have spent this entire thread tearing apart.
Why did you post this thread if your comment was to blame Republicans? One FRICKIN’ Republican who is a known RINO signed onto this bill. ONE.
You deliberately ignored all the Democrats who sponsored it. You deliberately ignored the realities of the situation as to whether this could pass their committee.
Why did you do that?
Who exactly is your enemy here?
I am a conservative. You are a troll. Up yours.
