Wolf packs and ass kissing has been a big part of this forum...folks find a new cause and get some mod help and run around purging and gleefully high five like a football game.
There have been a number of issues over the years from the Lucianne dustup, to Bush 2000, to Schiavo, Amnesty..once supported here largely, Katrina and so forth...now it’s..at least for the wolf pack..”You Don’t Support Sarah Devoutly Enuff”...
and the Romney accusation is their denunciation..sometimes true..sometimes not...I was under the impression Drapes supported Bachmann
i had hoped when some of the worst sorts had left with Mad Ivan over their support of Rudy that it would be a while till we got into all this again...nope...many are back supporting Sarah
Pray tell how do you go from Rudy to Sarah ideologically and if so then how solid are one’s own creds?
I often disagree with Hannity who is too soft but we do eat our own here
Bush 2000 was the real eye opener for me. The old 96 crowd would hint at some very interesting views management held of Bush Senior, and GW was treated like the most reprehensible RINO imaginable. Then, magically, he was the darling of dance. This phenomenon happens now and then, I guess. I was one of the first people to bring up that the Iraq war wasn't working (from Iraq, at the time) and needed a change of perspective. I got called every name in the book, but a year later, we had the surge, and suddenly, rethinking our strategy was a wonderful idea, not defeatist claptrap.
So, Sarah is now the cause de jour. I like Sarah, so this is a hard topic for me. She has some amazing good points, and some amazing weaknesses, but you really can't discuss either without the conversation jumping the rails of reality. Just because she's popular here doesn't mean she wouldn't wind up like Goldwater, McGovern or Mondale in a general election. Maybe she'd do better, but it's a rational political concern to raise. Do you go for the Hail Mary with a rock ribbed, half term quitter, or first down with a squishy, careerist snake oil salesman who reliably closes the deal?
BARGLE! PDS SNARRF TROLL1!!1!
Sorry, it's sad, but that's reality. Our options suck. People gotta deal with it.
I don't know what management's view of Perry is, but I doubt it will come to much. The guy seems pro-life, pro-gun, pro-business, and generally a better version of Bush without the daddy issues. Yeah, he's got a black mark or two, but anyone with a real track record does. People who are looking for perfect are living under the wrong system of government. That's reality. We get as much as we can, or risk getting 100% of what we don't.
