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

You fancy yourself the SAVIOR of the Republican Party?

Like I told you the other day, old man. Watch that blood pressure.

It is the goal of you fifth columnist disruptors to elevate the blood pressure of any who read your divisive words. I am glad to see so many are figuring out that you are a fifth columnist, intent upon nothing but contention.

[Carolinamom]

Like he said, he's busy "right now" trying to save the Republican Party...doesn't have the time to be FOR a candidate.

[68 grunt]

... Right now, I'm for saving the Republican Party ...

If this were not another of your filthy lies you could prove it, easily, just stop saying us.

Most of my posts on this thread have either been Jim Robinson's views

Mr. Robinson, is this true?

[P-40]

I note that some thought turning Congress over to Democrats would instill in them the responsibility

And you will note that some Republicans have not been reaching for the taxpayer's checkbook so readily and there are rumors, perhaps unfounded, that President Bush has located the veto pen. If we get a President Hilary the Republicans just might separate themselves from the Democrats again.

Common Tator is gone??? Really?? One less Rino around here to fight and feud with??? I knew this would be a good day.

Careful. CT can't be here to defend himself because of health issues.

The fact that EV has not answered after being asked numerous times on this thread about when Alan Keyes is planning on announcing his candidacy speaks volumes.

Amazing that Keyes has such a political tin ear that he doesn't even recognize how detrimental his 'followers' are. Who would vote for a CinC with such horrible judgment?

... here probably wouldn't be half the fighting going on here ...

But twice the laughter ...

[EternalVigilance]

I didn't say that, you did. I just said what I'm for.

"If we get a President Hilary the Republicans just might separate themselves from the Democrats again."

I don't think the liberals in the Republican party want that.

[EternalVigilance]

Mr. Robinson, is this true?

Uhmmm...they were cut and pastes of his posts from the last 24 hours.

[Rex Anderson]

I think it is more like a savior pimp.

" ..why thank you, Al

BTW you were a great baseball player..."

Interestingly, a nephew of his got word of my nic, joined FR for a day and castigated me for being a conservative anti-semitic (see my tagline below!!) homophobic right-wing hater.

Needless to say, he was gone before I could respond.

You'd have thought he'd have appreciated my bringing attention to the memory of one of the greatest forgotten players of the 1920s-1930s...there's a reason why, at the very first All_Star Game, a famous photo was taken of 4 men standing shoulder to shoulder with their bats: Ruth, Foxx, Gehrig, and - Simmons. Because they were considered the 4 best hitters of their time (in the A.L.)..

... Uhmmm...they were cut and pastes of his posts from the last 24 hours.

Which you, and other fifth columnists use to twist into messages of division.

The only Republican candidate who is really unacceptable in terms of the WOT is Ron Paul. McCain would also be pretty bad in that area. The rest, however, have given us no reason to think that they wouldn't be as good or better than Rudy. I do NOT believe that Rudy is some great war leader, as he has no experience in the area. Cleaning up after a terrorist attack does not equal foreign policy experience. There's no real reason for me to support him on that front.

Furthermore, there is no reason to think Rudy will be good on judges. Who he thinks is a good judge and who I think is a good judge are two very different things. We know that even the farthest left liberals sometimes make claims to appoint "strict constructionists".

Let's say though that we take Rudy at his word. Even "strict constructionists" in the way we use the term today are not in the mold of Scalia or Thomas. They are both originalists. There is a significant difference. I'm not sure Bork would label himself a "strict constructionist" if he were big in the movement today. The legal world has changed thanks to Scalia and Thomas.

The Republicans are closer in line with a conservative agenda than the democratic party will ever be, but they are not one in the same.

While that has been true in the past, under Rudy Giuliani that would not be the case any longer. He agrees with almost the entire Democrat platform, and almost none of the Republican platform. That's kind of the point.

"Most of Clinton's policies are very similar to most of mine." - Rudy Giuliani

"fifth columnist"

You really need to expand that vocabulary.

[Sunsong]

Good find. Thanks for posting it.

[Howlin]

Somehow I doubt it; I'm sure they'd find things about him to trash.

He's not "their" guy, you know?
