No the only "conservatives" who were embarrassed AREN'T conservatives - they're liberals, or - the same thing - CINOs (conservative in name only)
Yes, it will; then we'll need the drugs. :-)
Once again, this thing has managed to turn yet another thread into it being all about IT!
Yup. In the future I'll post some things on his threads but will ignore him. It's a favorite tactic of DNC plants.
Any group of conservatives who cannot see the profoundly clear choice between a vote for Bush/Cheney or Kerry/Edwards aren't worth keeping in the GOP anyway. Really, those who need to be coddled to do the right thing for themselves, their families and their country cannot be trusted for support regardless of the tribute they are given at the Convention.
This is a silly, contrived outrage.
Amen.
I didn't say there wasn't a clear choice between the two pairs.
I did state that they are making a serious political error in pandering to a wing of their party which has no real philosphical connection with Republicanism and never will.
Nobody can convince me there is any substantial distinction between a Rockefeller Republican and a Democart excpet the name.
The "Rockefeller Republicans" you loathe are voting for George W. Bush on November 2. Democrats, by definition, are voting for John F. Kerry on November 2.
What is so difficult to understand in this equation?
Excellent investigative reporting. Facts to back up our impressions + misleading screen name.
The "Rockefeller Republicans are setting their agenda for a campaign run for the White House in 2008, or increased influence in a new Bush administration after 2004.
If they get elected to the White House, or succeed in having more influence with Bush and the National Party, you can expect on a national level what Chrissie Whitman (another Rockefeller Republican) provided to the people of the State of New Jersey during HER tenure: One of the most liberal, if not, THE most liberal State Supreme Court in the Nation which continually generates activist court decisions on a multiplicity of social issues outside their proper functions for which the people of New Jersey pay with their hard-earned tax money; more anti-gun legislation; a fiscally bankrupt state; and the use of her position, office and finances to defeat conservative Republicans in primaries as far away as Virginia - she campaigned against Oliver North when he ran for office in that state. She also pandered to the most offensively racist minority leaders in New Jersey and failed to cooperate with Federal officials in apprehending illegal aliens. She even caved in to radical animal rights people in calling off a much needed black bear hunt in that state which the State Department of Fish and Game and the Fish and Game Council supported and said wa necessary for the safety of the people and livestock of that state.
I am happy they MAY vote for Bush (nobody knows WHAT they will do in the ballot box), but I certainly am NOT entertained by the prospect of having them as keynote representative speakers at a Republican convention.
What part of what I said did you not understand?
Rockefeller Republicans are RINOs. They are liberals who are anti-gun, loose Constitutional constructionists, oppose the death sentence, support abortion, support appointment of activist liberal judges, believe in affirmative action, oppose clamping down on illegal aliens, oppose a Constitutional Amendment to protect the flag, support the removal of God and religion from every aspect of public life, support "gay" rights, and in nearly every other respect I can think of act like Democrats.
If you can't see the danger in allowing them a voice in the Party after reading the above, you must be a RINO yourself.
Grow up.
That's a pretty empty retort.
So much for the "no liberal media" line...
