If your ideologically pure candidate is a bore - the other party's more appealing candidate will win. And if your ideological positions are out of step with the electorate - it will be a landslide for the other side.

Do you even read posts before you respond to them?

I don't define it...........I use the ONLY definition there is!

A "RINO" is a REPUPLICAN IN NAME ONLY. That doesn't mean someone who isn't 100% far right, it doesn't mean someone who doesn't agree with 10% of the GOP platform, nor does it mean someone you don't like.

The GOP has all kinds of different members, all of whom ARE GOPers!

Lincoln Chaffe was a RINO; so is Ron Paul.

Yeah, they will. Giuliani is useful to these leftists whether he wins or loses. The qualifications for the GOP nomination are being watered down more and more every day.

Thanks. From the get-go I have attempted to stick to the facts and debate the differences in opinion, in a robust but intelligent fashion. That doesn't always work out so good. The Rudybots want this forum to respect their opinions, but they don't care for political dissent if its aimed at Giulinai. Sorry. That's not the way it works in a free and open society. Free speech reigns supreme.

You're welcome(s). I appreciate that you don't see Rudy as being the best we can do. I hear you on that. I hope you realize that others disagree with you. They honestly do think he is the best we can do right now.

What I am hoping is that the Rudy supporters not engage you and the others I mentioned and the others I should have mentioned(s)...unless you make a new or interesting or good point - which quite frankly - isn't very likely(s).

I don't think you all come onto the Rudy threads to discuss anything and so I hope that the Rudy supporters will see more and more that the Rudy haters are there to bait - to taunt - to disprupt - to antagonoize - to name call - to ridicule - to belittle - to insult etc. That's all they are doing on those threads and there is no reason to stoop to their level and engage them, imo.

I wish you well in gettting someone you can get excited about nominated. I haven't decided yet who I will support but I have no problem with Rudy or Romney. Hunter is ok. Brownback has some good qualities. I don't like McCain. I like Gilmore. I could support Newt. But I am so offended by the treatment of the Rudy and Romney supporters that I like to go on his threads as a support to them.

I asked you what words do you use for chanting in your Rudy cult?

I could not help but say that after reading:

I believe that Rudy is the ONLY one capable of uniting America

This is cult thinking, don't you know?

Ron Paul is a Liberterian. See http://groups.msn.com/AMERICASSURVIVAL/yourwebpage.msnw

I agree Chaffee is a RINO, who is no longer in the Senate.

I should. You really got pretty boring after the first ten thousand or so times I saw you tell someone they "just don't understand politics."

"The qualifications for the GOP nomination are being watered down more and more every day." I wonder, could this 'refining' process actually be a planned means to 'purify' the GOP nominee to such an extent that the nominee will be paintable as a right-wing imperialist when the democrap nominee is run against the pubby nominee? There does seem to be an inordinant amount of bickering amongst the GOP faithful over candidates not vetted sufficiently to be viable yet. The clinton goon squad is quite good at defining the opponent so they can be marginalized.

I don't belong to a "cult" of any kind.

Neither do I intentionally and with forethought harass other posters for fun and games; nor for that matter, do I post to salacious/libidinous threads about old drinking exploits ( which I have none of ) and sexual matters. But then, to each her own. :-)

"chosen" one? this is a primary process, we aren't installing anybody. but we also aren't arbitrarily excluding anyone from participating either.

Ron Paul RUNS as a GOP and IS a Libertarian, which makes him a RINO!

Good, so now that we can agree about Lincoln Chaffe, use what we know about him as the exemplar of RINOISM.
