Don’t presume to speak for me.
I love it here, in spite of the circus that it has become as of late.
It was the same during the 2000 primaries, when most of the hardcore “true conservatives” were calling GW a “coke-snorting frat boy”. And that includes a lot of the more high-profile/storied posters that are still around today.
FR survived.
It was the same when the Keyes supporters decided that anyone who didn’t agree with them wasn’t a “true conservative”, and the tone turned sour.
FR survived once again.
And in spite of the childish behavior, and the ridiculous notion that those who don’t agree with you are stupid and evil - FR will continue to survive.
If the majority of the conservative movement was as abrasive as you, we’d never win squat, in spite of “sticking to our principles”.
Thank goodness that’s not the case. And that observation has zero to do with Rudy, and everything to do with being a decent, mature adult.
It isn’t the lack of agreement over matters of opinion that make a liar a liar and a troll a troll. And it isn’t those of us who defend the truth against the liars and their foul mouths that cause the trolls to be trolls. And if you consider the truth to be abrasive, while defending the foul-mouthed name calling, you are the one with the problem.
I guess I am far different from some here since I have taken an oath, as a member of our counties Republican Executive Committee, not to support Dems and help only Republicans win elections.
In our particular county we also encourage conservative candidates whenever possible with every resource we have at our disposal. Personally I would like to see Fred Thompson as our nominee and absent Thompson I think Duncan Hunter would be an excellent choice as well.
However I don not plan to engage in any "swiftboating" of any of our potential candidates as that would be breaking an oath I swore to and I urge others to think twice before they provide potentially very useful info to the Democratic Party should certain candidates they try and "swiftboat" become actual nominees.
As far as the dems are concerned they are a lot like the terrorists, they love using our own words against us. I do not plan to engage in any of that. The rest of you can do as you please.
