LOL... I'M CLUELESS? LOL.... You're funny. You said, "do you really believe just because one wants to stay and fight for a party which is already built they will lose their conservative roots?"
Those "Conservative roots" you're trying to save have already died. There are no "REAL" Conservatives in the Republican party. We've all left and the proof is in the fact that you call all God fearing people "Zealots". Most Conservatives have a very strong relationship with God and God never changes. Conservatives understand this but you rinos do not. You, like your liberal brethren, believe in evolution as evidenced in your "it's not plausible in this day" comment. God's principles DO NOT CHANGE. It's wrong to murder innocent babies in the womb. It's wrong to enslave a populace with unethical religious expectations like those the cultists in the whole government run healthcare church are proposing. It's wrong to tax people for the air they breath like the whole Cap-n-Trade crowd is proposing. It's wrong for men to place their genitalia into the rectums of other men and it's even worse to let them have unions much less let them call those unions marriage. PERIOD!
I could go on all day listing all the sins those like you in the middle keep trying to convince us Conservatives to accept. WE ARE STILL FREE TO BELIEVE WHAT WE WANT and we do not want to believe that good is bad and that bad is acceptable in any capacity.
Look. You're a moderate. I'm ok with that. We understand each other. I'm principled and adamant when it comes to standing up for absolutes. I'm a "Zealot" if you will. I love God with all my heart, mind, soul and with all my strength. I do not believe in negotiating away and giving into the pressures of whiny a** spoiled little moonbats that do not like the rigidness of good wholesome rules. I'm one that believes that people of character do NOT surrender their principles simply because they want deviants to like them or because I am deluded by the hope that maybe, just maybe, if I dive deep enough into the deviants cesspool I just might be able to pull them out without getting their crap on me. I'm smarter than that.
You. Well you ride the fence and think you can influence others by dazzling them with your wit. Tell me. What's the difference between what you believe and what John McCain believes?
Bottom line. You and I are going to disagree so long as you keep thinking I am a zealot for standing up for the truth. You and I are going to keep disagreeing so long as you keep thinking there is more than one "truth" to any topic. I have no problems being a "Conservative" in the truest sense of the word. I have no problems being called a "Right-Winger" in the truest sense of the word. I have no problems being called a bigoted zealot in the truest sense of the words. So long as you think you can negotiate with the enemy you and I have nothing further to discuss and you will continue to freak as you watch those like me leave your beloved party of wolves in sheep's clothing. In fact in my opinion, with the illegal alien we now have serving in the White House I doubt there is enough time for any party to unseat the dictator that has stolen our country. We Conservatives have listened to your ilk for too long. Now, like the captured wild hogs we are trapped and headed for the slaughter.
I pray that I am wrong but I think you rinos have had us watching your left hand for so long now that we are being clubbed over the head with your right.
Most of them were created to split the conservative vote away from the GOP, and that is the primary reason the Democrats currently have a majority in both houses of congress, and Obama is in the White Hut.
None of these "third" parties have won any nationwide elections, and that isn't going to change this year. "Making a statement" will not save this nation. Getting conservatives through the primary elections in the GOP, then getting those conservatives elected in the general elections against Democrats in the general elections might, just might, save the nation.
If you are not part of the solution, then you are part of the problem. If you are not, right now, helping conservatives win back control of the Republican Party in your precinct, county, and state, then you are not part of the solution.
Welcome to Free Republic, the premier conservative website on the internet.
You are missing the point so badly because you're letting blind emotion rule clear thinking. I'm the opposite of a moderate, but you wouldnlt know that look through your haughty assed rose colored lenses. If you'd put half as much effort into conservatizing the Repub party as you do bitchin about it, then we'd be way ahead of this game. However, from what I'm reading there is a huge waste of a political steadfast stance going on in your life. It is something which will never materialize in this county at this time in history.
I hear you and even understand where you're coming from, but please try to grasp the reality, not the prophesy. The fight we need to be involved with is in the republican party, not some farcical third rail party which is not even a blink on the radar.
Go ahead and tear the republican party apart, and then realize it will be a cold day in hell before you ever see conservatives gain political power again...that means political agenda's foist upon us which will always be a direct antithesis to what you believe! The country is not ready to go rogue political party, just maybe only a with a candidate. And a HAWT one at that!
You're so blindly righteous you don't even know what a rino is!
