Hmm. So, if I support George Bush, and prefer to give him the benefit of the doubt on many issues I'm uncertain of, I am a pubbie thug?
Sounds like a dog breed.
What I mean by "Pubbie thugs" are the legions of Kool-Aid drinkers who seem to be personally offended if someone doesn't chug their gallons of BushBerry Kool-Aid fast enough. These people love to pile on whenever a FReeper like me dares to take issue with Bush, who IMHO is far from conservative. The Pubbie thugs, like their CommieLib Klinton Kool-Aid drinker counterparts, rabidly and almost violently attack anyone who refuses to toe the Pubbie Party line. Most can be further described as "free traitors", "limousine liberals", "Big Tent Pubbies", etc. They put party over principle, and cannot tolerate anyone who doesn't see eye to eye with them, and especially those who dare to enumerate those differences.
You, OTOH, seem perfectly nice and reasonable. Just please don't get violent and we'll get along swimmingly!
