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

Bump to all that.

[68 grunt]

I didn't find them objectionable. Kind cute satire.

[Howlin]

Better get goin'. Hunter went from 2% to a footnote asterisk in the latest ABC/WaPo poll.

Funny, I heard that one of Keyes' operatives was seen at a Hunter fund raiser a couple of weeks ago.

And you really suck when you imply that people who are willing to compromise to help this country want to kill babies. I mean REALLY suck.

I'm not "implying" it at all. I'm saying it straight out:

Those who empower NARAL and their bought-and-paid-for baby-killing politicians have blood on their hands.

[Texas Federalist]

This so-called "thought" provoking article fails to address the reality that (1) members of the ideological "base" of each party are more likely to vote; and (2) people in the middle are focused more on candidates, rather than issues, and can be persuaded to vote for a more ideologically pure candidate who articulates well-reasoned policy positions. It is more difficult to alienate a group that doesn't know enough about the issues to form a coherent ideology, than it is to alienate your base.

"People MAKE themselves irrelevant; and I'd die before I'd hand this country over to the Democrats."

More power to you, hope you're successful. But I don't personally care what letter is by the name so long as what I and many of my mates have sweated, bled and died for is upheld and supported.

If neither party does that, then I will support neither party.

[Howlin]

The more I see of your posts on a variety of subjects, the smarter I think you are.

However, two major differences...the WOT and appointing conservative judges are not to be ignored as we seek to compare a Guiliani administration with a Clinton or Obama White House.

Then, when you also figure in his belief in states' rights and a strong fiscal conservatism...and his electability, certainly you can see his appeal to a large number of Repubublicans. With President's low approval nationally, we cannot believe that we can put a Bush clone on the ballot and think we can win.

Then why the objection to another FReeper agreeing with him?

[wagglebee]

And you really suck when you imply that people who are willing to compromise to help this country want to kill babies.

50 MILLION babies have been killed in the United States since 1973. Rudy and SOME of his supporters on FR believe that women should have the right to kill their unborn baby.

So, perhaps a distinction should be drawn, there are the compromisers who are willing to "look the other way" and vote for someone who supports the killing of babies and then there are the people who have absolutely no problem voting for someone who supports killing babies because they also support it.

... Blood on your hands.

Ah, Evie, the ol' blood on the hands analogy. Its the fifth columnist whose goal it is to insure a demonrat victory, and there is where the blood lies.

[EternalVigilance]

I answered your question quite succinctly. If that answer wasn't sufficient for you, tough.

Now, quit lying and putting words in my mouth. It's a nasty liberal tactic. Thanks.

[Howlin]

and its shameful to post your obloquy when he can't be here to defend himself.

Which just proves to anybody who knows CT how low EV will go to further his own political agenda.

But, hey, when you're a whore, you'll screw anybody, won't you?

[Al Simmons]

"I've always loved the claim that right-wingers are somehow anti-Semitic. It's news to me. Considering how much the Left hates Israel and rants about the "jewish lobby" and the "jewish conspiracy", it's quite amusing actually."

Of course, he was gone before I could inform him that my uncle Bosko was one of 2300 men, women and children shot to death by the SS in Kragujevac, Serbia in 1941 in a reprisal massacre, or that my father spent 4 years behind enemy lines fighting the Nazis....who were the worst, lowest human scum that ever lived. Even worse than the communists...

[68 grunt]

Then why the objection to another FReeper agreeing with him?

Honest FReepers can do as they like. Fifth columnist scumbags are not honest, they just want to keep us divided. (As if you didn't know!)

[Howlin]

And for your trouble, your character was questioned.

Amazing place FR has become.

[Carolinamom]

There you go again, EV. You really are a nasty little man.

[Howlin]

Amen! I have a list all ready for the "transfer."

[colorado tanker]

Ideological purity is impossible in a coalition as diverse as modern conservatism. We have social conservatives, national defense/foreign policy hawks, fiscal/small government conservatives, libertarians, big business, small business, paleo-conservatives, combinations of the same, and I'm sure I'm leaving some out. We agree on 80% of our goals and when we are unified we can accomplish most of what we want.

Contrast that with 1960 when the party was mostly folks whose families had voted Republican since the Civil War with main street and country club conservatives thrown in, and was a chronic minority in Congress that had not elected a real conservative President since Coolidge.
