To the GOP's self-righteous Purists

If there's a single thread that runs through the e-mails I receive from peevish Republicans, it's that none of the current candidates possesses the conservative purity of Ronald Reagan. One could almost get the idea that Dutch was betrayed by Pontius Pilate and crucified on Calvary. But that wasn't exactly the case. The fact of the matter is that Gov. Reagan gave Gov. Jerry Brown a run for his money – or should I say our money? – when it came to raising taxes here in California. But, in spite of the additional revenue, he was responsible in large part for the streets of our cities being turned into public latrines by the unwashed, the unwanted and the insane when, to save a few bucks, he oversaw the closing of California's mental hospitals. He also signed the nation's most liberal abortion bill. Although he had a change of heart a scant six months later, one never hears him condemned for flip-flopping ...

What truly confounds me are those cuckoos who would prefer to see such socialists as Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama win the election than to sully themselves by voting for a Republican who was only their second or third or even fourth choice. To them I say, before proving that you place your own ego gratification above what's best for America, keep in mind that most of the Supreme Court justices are in their 70s or even, in the case of John Paul Stevens, fast approaching 90. Do you really want one of those two Democrats stacking the Court for the foreseeable future? Presidents come and go, but justices go on seemingly forever. Kennedy and Scalia have been on the bench since Reagan put them there. Stevens, for heaven's sake, was appointed during the ...

"scumbag"

So you're saying the man who served his country honorably in Vietnam and has fought to protect it since is a scumbag?

Here’s one more link. Put the three stories together (including the one about McCain challenging Bush in 2004) and it gives the whole picture.

(snip)

The option is being discussed by McCain’s inner circle of advisers and some of his backers have begun setting up policy think-tanks and other groups to lay the ideological foundations for another third-party challenge in the Bull Moose style.

The Project for Conservative Reform at the Hudson Institute has assembled a group of what it calls Mooseketeers, while keeping up a steady stream of criticism aimed at Mr Bush for his reliance on corporate cash.

Having lost control of the Senate after the defection of Senator James Jeffords earlier this year, the White House is sensitive to the threat that the Arizona senator could also leave the party. Any such move would almost certainly deny Mr Bush a second term by splitting the Republican vote.

You have me confused with someone who cares what a coward like yourself thinks. “Vet” doesn’t necessarily mean that you are no longer on active duty. I’ve carried an M-16 in Afghanistan and will be in Iraq within a year. So, unless you’re willing to pick up a weapon and join the fight, you might want to drink a tall cold glass of shut the ____ up.

It is because I’ve spent over 20 years defending this country, that I refuse to be part of a party that would surrender its sovereignty without a shot. And as for your “Vote McCain for the Troops” garbage. You must have missed McCain’s support for the terrorist bill of rights, for shutting down GTMO, and for joining with the DEMS to trash the SECDEF for a few years.

Now, you can get back to kissing Juan McCain’s hind quarters. When you come up for air, you might want to ask Juan exactly what he meant when he said, “Hillary would make a good President.”

Like we needed to read the other 102,738 of them?

I find that my needs don’t match the needs of the general McCain supporter.

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

Next time, know in advance just whom you're attempting (stupidly) to play the "I [Heart] the Military" trump card against: some of us, for instance, have lost our younger siblings in Iraq.

My late brother, the Lieutenant Colonel, would want me (or any other American) to vote according to the dictates of principle and conscience, thank you. That's what he did, all his life; and that means he died a wiser, infinitely better man than any of those who'd attempt to browbeat votes out of other conservatives with clumsy slappings down of the Guilt or Fear cards.

Smoke. That, troll.

[DoughtyOne]

Good for you NavVet. I couldn’t agree more if someone tossed in $1 million dollars to boot! It’s truly shocking what folks are ready to sign off on this year.

Me too but I figured it was obvious by now .

[calcowgirl]

Love your tagline! :-)

Stay safe on your next tour—thanks for all you do.

[TigersEye]

I didn’t know that but it doesn’t surprise me a bit. I don’t see any integrity in McCain’s character. He’s a thoroughly repugnant unscrupulous person.

[Just mythoughts]

"Now, we begin the most important part of our campaign: to make a respectful, determined and convincing case to the American people that our campaign and my election as President, given the alternatives presented by our friends in the other party, are in the best interests of the country we love. I have never believed I was destined be President. I don't believe anyone is pre-destined to lead America. But I do believe we are born with responsibilities to the country that has protected our God-given rights, and the opportunities they afford us. I did not grow up with the expectation that my country owed me more than the rights owed every American. On the contrary, I owe my country every opportunity I have ever had. I owe her the meaning that service to America has given my life, and the sense that I am part of something greater than myself, part of a kinship of ideals that have always represented the last, best hope of mankind."

This was part of McCain's speech just two days ago. I think somebody else wrote this for him to say because it does not fit with his actions.

[Racehorse]

Lie #1. The link leads back, ultimately --m which you'd know, if you'd actually followed it to its terminus -- to: "He’ll [McCain] either win without conservatives, or with conservatives," precisely as stated. Not only are you a buffoon; you are an ineffectual one.

I call that a backstroke. "The link leads back, ultimately . . ." What a hoot, you are, night owl.

Post #42 leads to Post #250, on another thread.

Another backstroke.

Just learn how to use hyperlinks or learn how to explain how we're supposed to follow your muddled thinking.

Two honest statements, in a row. A marked improvement; keep up the good work.

Oh, if only you were half as honest.

I repeat the above from my own posting, earlier, as you rather noisily and obviously fell down attempting not to acknowledge how it directly applied to Team Juan's efforts hereabouts, these past few weeks in particular. Just so we both know you didn't actually manage to get away with anything, is all.

I did better than that. Unlike you, I was honest and wrote at #114: "I read the stuff hurled back and forth by everybody. There ain't no saints in this fight."

Hope you noticed. My hyperlink takes you right to the message I want you to see.

No one's (yet) questioned the comparative silliness of your predictions, lamb; just the overall efficacy of Team Juan's vote-gathering techniques (in general), and your own (in particular). Sorry that wasn't rendered clear enough for you, from the outset.

That is because I have not made any predictions, silly or otherwise, about what will come this November. You have.

You have a harder time than I remembering from message to message what you wrote at #171: "11/07/08 is going to come as one slow, awful awakening to you and yours, I'm afraid. Here's hoping you at least manage to benefit from the experience... if only just a little"

Notice how the hyperlink works? If you meant something different, that's okay. I know you're stressed and upset. I understand.

[calcowgirl]

I think somebody else wrote this for him to say because it does not fit with his actions.

I don't know. It sounds like his words to me. McCain lives in his own little world, seing himself as some mythical ethical guy that is just there to serve all of us poor peasants. He doesn't realize that others see him as a pompous, arrogant, power-hungry elitist that doesn't have a clue as to what the life of average-Joe-American is like.

I had to hit replay on this one, from the same speech:

My friends, the American people's patience is at an end for politicians who value ambition over principle and for partisanship that is less a contest of ideas than an uncivil brawl over the spoils of power.

Now that I read the transcript, I realize that he is the perfect example of what he describes.

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

I call that a backstroke.

How charming for you, that you've developed your own precious (and hitherto secret) vocabulary and definitions, in order to attempt to wriggle, however clumsily, out of not having adequately done your assigned homework. *Yawn*, kitten.

and wrote at #114: "I read the stuff hurled back and forth by everybody. There ain't no saints in this fight."

[::blinks, rapidly::] ... and... ummmmm... this responds to the (STILL!) as-yet-unrebutted point, raised ages agone, that it's Team Juan's infantile, evident need to insult and spit upon all conservatives not willing to bend servile knee to The Man Who Would Be King of Mexico just... how, precisely? It's already been duly pointed out to you -- slowly, and with very small words -- that, being the ones (purportedly) attempting to do the persuading, it's YOUR addled approach towards persuading others which is called into question, here. You're attempting to coax votes out of us, muffin; not the other way around. Stamp your hoof twice, if any of this is finally managing to sink in, just a little.

Respond intelligently, at long and final last.. or else simply take your clown shoes and go. I never mind debating with a genuinely honest and aboveboard opponent, but I draw the line at playing "Last Tag!" with just another ill-disguised DU troll.

[levotb]

I did...He’s an idiot. He apparently lives in another world. Not one mention in his one-sided RINO-loving piece on the Invasion by Mexico. He’s oblivious to it. He could care less if 10,000 illegals break into the U.S. every day or if the child and teen rape of smuggled-in Mexican prostitutes and children at McGonigle Canyon in N. San Diego is anything to concern ourselves with. He could care less if 40 million—FORTY MILLION illegals live in the U.S. and are turning our country into a third world sewer while bankrupting states like CA where the majority of them live.

Conservatives should NEVER vote for RINOs, ever! We should have learned from backing Bush twice (I backed him vs Gore and what a mistake that was!). The lesser of two evils is still EVIL!

Ann Coulter has it right and so does Rush though he’s not backing her move.

Interesting comments on the "Hillary pin"......

Did you see this article, which I found online by doing an MSN search on "Hillary pin"?

There is a "Hillary signature pin" which is different, but still put out by Ann Hand, who did the eagle-and-pearl Hillary/"Solidarity" Pin in the early 1990's, from a design by a former Carter Administration official.

But the article here says the symbol isn't an American eagle, but rather the phoenix of the Illuminati. Bill Clinton was alleged in the 90's to have been an Illuminist. There is also some Masonic lore about the phoenix, that ties the bird to the symbology of Lucifer and the Antichrist.

http://www.cuttingedge.org/news/n1259.cfm

The article has a photo of Hillary wearing the subject pin while giving a speech 12-15 years ago. It also has closeups, and a comparison illustration of the phoenix bird.

The identification of the bird on the pin with a phoenix, as opposed to the federal eagle, isn't a laydown. The article cites sources, however, that claim that the symbol on the Great Seal of the United States, designed and drawn by Masons, was originally a phoenix, not an eagle, and that it was changed later.

Please TNdandelion, LEAVE THE GOP NOW!!! No, not for Ron Paul or some third party candidate—just leave the GOP! Make Uncle Lou Dobbs happy!

MASSIVE Bump!!!

[napscoordinator]

The problem with giving McCain a pass now is that next Presidential election Bloomsburg will be the nominee and you will be expecting us to follow orders and vote for the Republican. When does it stop? That is my real reason to not vote for John McCain. I don’t want to start a precedent that we won’t be able to change. Also his global warming balony really bothers me.

[levotb]

Just look at that leftist beard, ARE SOLE! One look at him, and it’s pretty clear he ain’t no stinkin’ conservative!
