I don't expect you to apologize for saying what you believe, I know that I won't. However, I do expect people who don't know me to take me at my word when I say I believe something, as they are surely in no position to say otherwise. Likewise, I extend that same respect to others. It's a cheap DU trick to tell the other guy what he believes and refuse to budge.

But if you continue to use a conservative forum that has publicly stated NO to RINOs, to espouse more of the same

I personally don't use the term "rino" so I purposefully laid out each candidate that I'm currently looking at with my order of preference. I left it for Jim to decide where that left me, and since I'm still here, I guess I'm not the devil to be banned at this point.

Ever hear the old saying 'Actions speak louder than words'? I've learned over my life that what a person does with his life speaks more than what he tells me he's accomplished. Sometimes, when we root out the facts, the words ring hollow. I'm not speaking of you when I say that, only pointing out a hole in your point.

I do see, however, a discrepancy in your words vs. your actions. You speak a conservative line, but your trust in GOP solidarity belies your spoken beliefs. GOP solidarity will not win the day for America when so many GOP politicians are Democrat lite. And if you are so pro capitalist, pro small government as you depict, then your approach is defeatist in itself. And my pointing that out is not a cheap DU trick; it's stating the obvious.

Well, I don't see you as the Devil, simply a very misguided person who hasn't woken to what's coming. One who's also very determined not to change in the face of blunt fact. But that's your decision. And that doesn't make you someone worth a zot. At least in my opinion. But you'd best wear your flame-retardant undies around here. There's more to come given your opinion.
