I haven’t posted on this site for years, but lurked a lot because it’s a sensational compilation of political news and conservative opinions. Even if I don’t post, I have donated in the past simply because I figured this site was well worth it.
PSYCHO-FREEP, posters like you, and others of your ilk, are the reason why I will never again give one copper cent to site. Not because you oppose a candidate I support, but because you are so vile and malicious in your rhetoric. You post half-truths, insults and spam, and gleefully get away with it. To attack a candidate you dislike is one thing, but to malign the supporters of those you don’t approve, when “we” are all on the same side, serves no purpose other than to increase enmity and chaos. Wonder why that is?
Santorum has faults, as do ALL other politicians. But in his political career he has valiantly stood for the most important issue this nation faces: the fight against infanticide, along with a host of other issues like the sanctity of marriage, and revamping social security. Yes, he sided with members of his party as a loyal Republican and he supported the values of his constituents: the people of the red-blue state of Pennsylvania. To you and others, apparently this is an unforgivable sin.
PSYCHO-FREEP you (unfortunately, like a few too many posters here)are detrimental to this formerly fine site. Were you even aware that married woman with children (like my 34 year-old-self) and a large group of 18-24 (particularly religious ones) were among Santorum’s biggest backers? Those are two groups conservatives desperately need and it is a grave mistake to mock those supporters.
You never did Newt Gingrich, an intelligent man, any service advocating for him by being antogonistic, obnoxious and down-right mean to others. What code of ethics do you stand for other than to cause misery to those who disagree with you?
If I CC’d any posters, it’s only because I enjoyed reading your civil posts, no matter where you stood politically. If more posters on this site were of your honorable caliber, I’d have posted more, donated more, and who knows? Maybe a few other people felt the same.
Well stated.
I agree with your sentiments.
Wen I was weighing supporting Newt, I was actually shocked at the cruel taunting coming from his fans here. How could Santorum be all of the horrible things they say about him, yet Gingrich so holy and mighty? it’s been several months of “my guy good. Your guy really bad.” around here. I hated it do much that I tried to temper my own responses about my candidate.
I’ve been very honest about why I did not support Gingrich, but not mean. Just honest about why I think of him a certain way.
Thank you for the CC...
