I was trying to start in the thread where I left off this morning, but I kept seeing the thread grow as I moved from page to the next page, so I thought I’d just start on the last page and I still couldn’t keep up. LOL!

It’s amazing to me to see that the lemmings are still running over the cliff. I wish this “purge” hadn’t become necessary, but it did, because Rudy’s supporters were interferring with the discussion of the differences between our conservative candidates.

For example in a thread where people were discussing the differences between Romney and Thompson, Rudy’s supporters would not come in and talk about the issues being discussed because really what could they add to an abortion discussion for their candidate? Romney and Thompson might be accused of changing their views, but good old Rudy has always been solidly pro-abortion? Yes, that will win over conservative converts!

They couldn’t argue for Rudy on an issue by issue basis because Rudy is a one issue candidate for them - National security, so, they had to take apart the other candidates and would come in the thread and call them flip-flopper, throw out something not even supported by fact as long as they thought it would be a good smear like Fred is Mormon, too or that Fred and Romney are both pro-choice. These tactics are solely to bring the other candidates down to Rudy’s level and that is not an acceptable tactic when you are promoting a candidate. They also took the original discussion away to a discussion of Rudy.

It’s like the old Sesame street song - One of these things is not like the others, one of these things just doesn’t belong. Rudy doesn’t belong as an acceptable candidate to conservatives, so why let his promoters take away from discussion of the real conservative candidates.
