Is Driving Rinos out of the GOP Good for the Country? Thought-Provoking Must-Read for Rudy-Haters.

"Let's face the facts that unless most of the Rudy supporters are at heart social liberals, all they care about is low taxes and a pro-business climate. "

Ain't that the truth.

[Howlin]

but am I the ONLY one who thinks FR is overrun with a bunch of brittle hate filled strident moralists?

No, you most certainly are NOT.

Heck, I even remember when the Republican Party wanted to keep EVERYBODY out of my bedroom; now they want in.

[AppyPappy]

Dunno. It ain't Rudy

[Howlin]

Your M.O. is to tear down any and all front runners, stay relatively quiet on those who may actually meet your conservative criteria, then Praise The Lord when Alan Keye$ decides to $ave The Country, all while $aving his income $tream.

You forgot the part where, when the actual candidate is chosen, saying that they were for them all along, just didn't want to tip their hand.

Like they did with Bush.

[68 grunt]

Not all people use your multiple screenname tactic to debate the issues.

He does use this red herring quite a bit. I think it is as you suggest, it is because he uses multiple screennames. He is a disruptor, and all FReeper lurkers should 'caveat emptor'.

"It seems to be a historical lesson lost on some of the "I'll take my marbles and go home if I don't like a candidate crowd.""

That maybe, but the crowd you refer to are fed up with being lied to and told "Just support us and we'll help you" only to get shafted once again.

Never again

[EternalVigilance]

This political base will require total remodeling and reconstruction, and this will take a few election cycles to accomplish.

Yeah, I've seen your intellectual-sounding arguments for "remodeling" conservatism out of the Republican Party before.

Can you say "Whigs?"

[Howlin]

She says as she whistles past the graveyard...

At least you admit that you and your ilk are IN the political graveyard so you can actually HEAR what the relevant issues are going to be, even while you ignore them and try to lead the party off a cliff.

[Howlin]

It's not a joke or rumor; I believe it to be a fact.

[68 grunt]

... You are the one who works for the DNC.

And another one nails this disruptor!

8 Repubs go Constitution Party

They would go Independent before they'd go CP. If a viable 3rd party candidate rises from the ashes then your scenario might play out, but that would mean the 3rd party candidate would have to have impeccable conservative credentials to sway the normally utopean conservative GOP voter. Still ain't gonna happen. The most that is going to happen is someone like Keyes popping up to pick the Plum$ of conservatives that are living in an alternate universe.

Rudy vs. Hillary? You sit out?

[EternalVigilance]

Compromise is like kryptonite to some around here.

Actually, to RINOs, compromise is the goal. To conservatives, it's a necessary fact of life.

However, to conservatives, some things are not open to compromise. With RINOs, anything is on the table...even the lives of the innocent unborn.

[Fierce Allegiance]

am I the ONLY one who thinks FR is overrun with a bunch of brittle hate filled strident moralists?

More like overrun with gay loving, pro abortion anti-constitution types who have no place on a conservative webiste. Say, you wouldn't be one of those Rudy Bloggers who are paid to post this shiite, or are you a retread troll? My money is on retread troll.

[Al Simmons]

Find me a post where someone open to Rudy has called the other side a 'traitor' and I'll concede your point. You won't.

[NinoFan]

"With RINOs, anything is on the table...even the lives of the innocent unborn."

... and guns, and the 1st Amendment, and the 4th Amendment, and all of the other parts of the Constitution... oh, and democracy, and republicanism, etc, etc, etc...

As Jim Robinson stated the other day, we're in a battle against socialism (and he later included Giuliani in that group of socialists) and so many fail to see it. Hopefully we can turn things around before its too late.

[68 grunt]

You're delusional. And offensive to boot.

Good, fifth columnist disruptors need to be offended.

[BigSkyFreeper]

...am I the ONLY one who thinks FR is overrun with a bunch of brittle hate filled strident moralists?

You're too kind. I was thinking more along the lines of "bitter old pensioners".

[EternalVigilance]

Compromise is like kryptonite to some around here.

They'd rather be irrelevant than compromise.

There are lines that cannot be crossed.

Rudy--------------------Hillary!

Anti-Gun----------------Anti-Gun
Pro-Abortion------------Pro-Abortion
Looks awful in a dress---Ditto

I could go on but the Rudy-lickers will continue to be in love with the smell of him no matter what.

If he gets the nomination I'm staying home for the first time ever or voting libertarian for the first time ever.

It won't make a nickel's worth of difference who wins.
