My day after Thanksgiving message | 11/26/200 | Jim Robinson

[Cedric]

Answer her question.

[DJ MacWoW]

And NO ONE in this thread has actually defined what makes a person a “conservative”;

Not true. Post 603 has a link to a statement by Jim Robinson stating FR's mission. And it was discussed.

Reagan is dead, fella. This is now. What Reagan did or didn’t do in office was over 20 years ago. This is a game people play when they can’t talk about today. I don’t live in the past but I know that if you fail to learn from history, you are doomed to repeat it. Banging your head upside a brick wall over and over because it feels so good when you stop ain’t my style.

You failed to answer if YOU would vote for Jeffords. Or Specter for that matter.

Depends upon who their opponent was. If it was Obama, I'd vote for Specter. If it was Marx or Lenin, I'd vote for Jeffords.

If it was Snowe or Collins or Lieberman, I'd vote for them before I'd vote for Jeffords or Specter.

Oh, Ok. I think I get it now. Vote Dimocrat!! That's it, right?

Where do we find a good Republican website because I hate Dimocrats and liberalism and the destruction they bring.

[Jim Robinson]

Well, you can start with the Republican party platform. Republican office holders/seekers should fully support it. Those who push for big government, bailouts, government takeovers, government healthcare, abortion, gay rights, gun control, high taxes, big spending, amnesty, weakened national defense, foolish treaties, giving up our sovereignty, etc, etc, are RINOS and should be run out of Dodge. Above that, those who fail to honor their sworn oaths to preserve, defend and uphold the Constitution of the United States are usurpers and should also be run out of Dodge—and jailed if I had it my way!

"Answer her question"

Funny, you don't answer any yourself.
Which of these are you willing to let go of?

[PugetSoundSoldier]

Then why do you bring up “who would you vote for” questions? How about defining the “conservative” position on issues such as tax increases, business regulations, drugs, gay marriage, and the like?

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

Do we run them out only at primaries or also at general elections?

[PugetSoundSoldier]

Thanks for the link, I missed that one...

What if I was 100% all items on the list, but an atheist? Would I still be a conservative? How many of those check marks does a politician have to have in order to be vote-worthy?

What if the GOP candidate is 7 out of 10, and the Democrat is 0 out of 10 - can I vote for the GOP candidate and still be a conservative?

[DJ MacWoW]

Jim Robinson posted the link to Cedric in 971. Read it.

[MestaMachine]

It doesn’t deserve an answer. It’s a stupid question. Carter was the incumbent with Iran holding Americans hostage. And you call ME a moron?
Gefilte fish on ya.

[Darksheare]

Obviously he ate the lutefisk.

[DJ MacWoW]

Maybe you should read Jim’s Statement again.

[MestaMachine]

I didn’t bring it up. Granny did.

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

If they were the Republican candidates in a general election and were running against another liberal, of course, I would vote for them.

At least we would be getting a chance but with a liberal RAT, we have no chances.

If you're accusing me of liking these people, you're wrong but they may have been preferable to the RATs at the time.

[MestaMachine]

EWWWWW!

[PugetSoundSoldier]

I did, and it says nothing about what I just asked; if I’m 100% on all except I’m an atheist, I’m not conservative?

In other words, it’s 100% or nothing?

Just want to get someone here to actually commit to something...

[paulycy]

And NO ONE in this thread has actually defined what makes a person a “conservative”;

JimRob has done this to most FReepers' satisfaction on many occasions and will probably do it again if you ask. Maybe that's why we don't overdo rehashing it.

[Darksheare]

There are fates worse than death, and then there’s lutefisk.
