Those who do not learn from history are indeed doomed to repeat it.

Yep.

I first became politically aware during the Kennedy administration and suffered through 1964-68. The folks who think it would be fun to take a turn as the minority party don't know what they're talking about.

Perhaps you'd better read up on the gay agenda. Your man supports the gay agenda all the way. Maybe you missed it, but Rudy talks it up, lives it up, plays the part. You might say he talks the talk and walks the walk (but the swagger is not due to the gun on the hip).

The next thing you're gonna tell me is that Rudy really doesn't believe that Abortion is a constitutional right or that he really doesn't believe guns are evil. He was just kidding about all that stuff too, right?

Go Rudy!! Abortion is RIGHT! Gay UNION forever!! Guns are EVIL!!

Getting RINOs out of the GOP sounds good for the Party and the Country. Strength in 1994 took the Party from a weak, back-seat position to a leadership one. Being weak now puts us in the trunk.

The strong front seat driver was that guy Gingrich, which pretty well proves Simmons' point. Don't try to narrow the field too soon, or we will regret that lack of viable choices to oppose Hillary.

And, please don't try to teach us more lessons. I note that some thought turning Congress over to Democrats would instill in them the responsibility that usually accompanies leadership and control. Boy, were some people fooled. Many suckers were born on election day back in 2006.

Because he continues to obsessively post to me, I just might have to resort to hitting the abuse.


Nah, he's funny and entertaining.

The concept that "conservatism wins every time it's tried" is mostly Rush Limbaugh's fault. It's something he's conspicuously stopped claiming after the recent election, and Santorum and Terry Schiavo proved that the public is no longer what it was in 1980.

The Clinton years have deteriorated our republic in many ways, and I believe they have rotted out a good part of the electorate.

one could come to the realization that either way means putting the Democrats in power for a long long time.

Hey, Rudy gets off on promoting this stuff himself. Who am I to deny the man's stated and demonstrated beliefs? He has no problem whatsoever with homosexualism. Do you? Are you homophobic all of a sudden or what!

Two daddies or two mommies are perfectly normal and a good thing for growing children.

Go Rudy!!

I'll keep campaigning for and voting for people who represent me and my personal beliefs.

Rugdy does not, and to ask me to turn my back on my principles is unworthy of a Freeper.

That could very well happen. I just don't believe you can
have it one way without the other. If a Democrat shoould win the White House, there should be no blame placed on the other half of the GOP that rejected their nominee.

Once EV stirs up enough division in the online Republican community then he will report back to his master, Alan Keyes, who..when done licking his chops, will announce his Constitution Party run for President and commence the online fundraising campaign.

'course, that's just a guess.

Since your full time job here is tearing down the Republican candidates, WHO are you FOR? (besides yourself and Keyes)

I AM looking at poll data. I'm gonna make a flying guess at where you're getting that number. Identifying yourself as "Christian" is not the same as identifying yourself as "conservative". Those numbers are further broken down by denomination into "conservative" and "liberal". Thus you can have an overwhelming majority of Evangelical Protestants who identify themselves as conservative but you can have an overwhelming majority of Democrat say.... Catholics.

Waiting in the wings no doubt; the coffers must be near dry from 2004.

Which reminds me of something else... EV, when Alan Keyes throws his hat into the ring, will he pay himself a salary of $10,000 A MONTH out of campaign donations, like he has done before?
