"In Perlstein's article on people who love Bush, I wondered why he painted conservatives/Republicans as people who change the subject if they don't have a good answer, when that's exactly what liberals/Democrats do."

Because by projecting their own tactics onto conservatives, Dems hope to put us on the defensive. Keeping your opponent on the defensive is the way to prevent them from launching a counter attack. When that doesn't work, they scream bloody murder at about 110 decibles, until the opposition is silenced. That's why I don't watch shows like Hannity and Colmes anymore (though I do listen to his radio show)

Guys, do you really think that my most efficient contribution to silencing the opposition is to spend all day arguing here? We're not that malevolent, you know!

I don't watch H and C either. I think Ailes is a punk for picking the nerdiest looking liberal in the world to go against H. Clearly bias. ;-)

I am going by nothing more than the opening to THIS debate thread sir. Am I correct in assuming you are the author? I imagine I am, since you attempted and failed to explain to me just exactly how all conservatives are shallow whiners.

Let's just go with "shallow whiners". Both are insults. Not a good first impression maker, especially if you hope to gain readers.

You then accused us of being of being "uncritical devotion to President Bush", leaving the burden of proof up to us. All I can say in that regard is that it's not an honest subject for debate. If you think we're mindlessly loyal to President Bush and blind to his faults, you've been studying conservatives on the wrong threads. The proof is right here on this gigantic information archive we call Free Republic. We're not going to make accusations without facts. That might be critical, but it's not honest, well thought criticism.

Just as you claim not to agree with Kerry on all the issues, but still want him elected, most of us disagree with Bush on one or more points but think he's the best man for the job.

NO, Colmes is not the nerdiest...this guy Kerry is along with being the most dangerous:
