I guess Newspeak will do the same thing to the word conservative that it did to the word liberal. The problem is greater. They have been successful in replacing news with propaganda.

According to trend McCain’s ACU rating will be 38 in 2012, so he should wait till then to run as a DemoRat.

They prefer purity to practicality. Hardly a trait to make one ashamed.

Until recently history the Republican party never asked us to vote for thier political power but to always consider country first. Oh, well, that’s over.

It's always so terribly, terribly stirring, listening to the anonymous, self-appointed Internet myrmidons of the Times thunder and bluster so (self-)righteously on behalf of their gardeners, their pool boys and all the local roofers and drywall installers in their greater metro area. ¡Sí, Se Puede!

“Republicans need to decide to vote a straight Republican ticket and help the GOP mend its current brokenness. “
Sounds like a great way to drive home the point that we’ve had it with their liberal bullshit...go ahead and support it.
How’s that tactic work with your children?

And I am impressed by your excellent data, stats and research. You remind me of Backhoe, and that IS a compliment.

Yes, I do.
He would have run on the ticket with John F.ing Kerry, who served in Vietnam, you know.

Questionable parentage will net you bigger bucks.
Claiming Granny as a New Dealer won't help.
If I had the Zealot rating, I'd tell 'em mommy and absent daddy shacked up in a microbus at Woodstock, between SDS rallies, and conceived me. That'd up the funds ratio.

I’ve got a feeling this guy wouldn’t be saying the same thing if it was some dem candidate that had 5-6 issues that he was conservative on.

And I am impressed by your excellent data, stats and research. You remind me of Backhoe, and that IS a compliment. Thanks! I'm kind of a "primary source" buff so I usually check out everything the media tries to feed me. A couple years ago, I got sick of looking the same thing up, over and over again and started saving the data. Now I need a bigger hard-drive! LOL.
Confession: I couldn't figure out how to chart a linear regression with my software, so that line is drawn freehand. ;-)

“Hows that tactic work with your children?”
Actually, whenever my children become ruled by emotion, I isolate them and tell them they can come out as soon as they are able to think clearly again.
There’s a fine line between ‘principled’ and ‘stupid’. We’re at war, with troops in the field. Some of them raised by me, with young children waiting their return.
