Actually, you're wrong. There are more moderates than libs or conservatives. IF, however, you COMBINE the "conservative" minority with the "moderate" majority, you come up with over 70 percent of the votes. So why don't we OWN (metaphorically speaking) Washington?

Our problem on this board is what constitutes a moderate. I mean, which issue are they moderate ON? If they are moderate on one single issue which Tancredo has issued an ideological injunction against, that individual is set on by so called "pure" (terrorists aren't our problem, MEXICANS ARE!!) conservatives.

This childish, churlish behavior is rationalized as "fighting the two party cartel" and gettng us "back to our conservative roots" (trans: the original thirteen colonies, with a hundred foot was around them) and the all time favorite "If electing a Democrat to the White House is what it takes to shake up the conservatives - usually with the injunction that those shook up conservatives take us back to our roots - then so be it." That one is my favorite. It says it all. You shouldn't have to have more than a room temperature IQ to realize that every time you read that sentiment, earnestly expressed by a self labelled "neocon", you are seeing the ancient tactic of division. Divided we fall.

Divided we fall. These are alleged conservatives dividing us in order to destroy us. That puts self-labelled neocons trying to divide and conquer ALL conservatives at the cost of our lives and our security as a nation squarely in the enemy camp with al Qaeda and the rest of the Democrats.

You're delusional. And offensive to boot.

Yes, it pains many that Jim isn't following y'all into RINO hell, doesn't it.

Unlike you, I'm not trying to DRIVE anybody anywhere; and if this "campaign" of yours turns out like all the rest of them, hell is where you'll end up.

Political whores? LOL... that's a laugh, coming from the Rooty Tootie Fresh 'n Fruity crowd.

Since you've been gone, I guess you didn't get the memo that FR is still a conservative website, notwithstanding your best efforts over the years.

THEN WHY DIDN'T HE RUN AGAINST HER LAST YEAR FOR HER SENATE SEAT?





Maybe cuz he didn't want to be a senator he wanted to be POYUS.

Fine with me. Your company is no longer pleasant or edifying.

Yes, you are a paid political whore; everybody here knows that; and everybody here knows what you're doing on this forum.


We've already settled on WHAT you are; what's remaining to be determined is what your PRICE is to destroy the GOP.

I'm not wrong.

I said there are twice as many conservatives as liberals. I said nothing about "moderates."

Point out one of a hundred self-evident points on which Giuliani would make a better nominee for the Democrat Party than the GOP.

Yes, they are, aren't they?

They remind me of the aliens in the movie Independance Day, moving from planet to planet, sucking the life out of it. They have no "planet" of their own, so they latched on to the GOP; now that the GOP is moderating, they intend to destroy it, as they have done every single thing they've ever touched.
