Your words are beyond insulting and I no longer consider you a worthy adversary

Were my words more or less insulting than "I knew you would not have the courage to give an honest answer to the question" ? Physician, heal thyself instead of crying me a river. The ironic part is, I never considered you an adversary. Still don't. Noodle that and see if you can figure out why.

Let’s do the math. You quote me in my response 144.
You say heal thyself, apparently hoping that no one will pay attention to your 141.

“With all due respect, I think that’s a cowardly question.”
Hmmmm, a cowardly question.

Think really hard. Does 141 come before or after 144? Maybe you need help with that. Call a lifeline. (I am playing the Jeopardy theme and waiting. But I’ll quote Adlai Stevenson during the Cuban Missile Crisis -— “I am prepared to wait for my answer until Hell freezes over.”)

For those who missed part of the discussion, I am prepared to fight Romney tooth and nail over his very liberal and distasteful social positions. I would rather fight him in office than fight a Marxist who believes that the ends justify the means. We have only seen a teaser of what Obama is capable of doing and willing to do as he carries through DREAMS FROM MY FATHER. If necessary, he will suspend the Constitution and declare martial law. He has no rules of fair play. Jimmy Carter was inept and foolish but I believe he actually did believe in the Constitution and loved his country. Obama has shown us that he loathes this country.

So Real ... Doug's "solutions" are those of a resigned roll-over defeatist. To be honest, it's kind of refreshing to see someone use THE word I've been so hesistant myself to use, especially as I've admired Doug often. But you called a spade a spade, and I find it refreshing: yes, Doug exhibits all the characteristics of a COWARD.

Yet I know that Doug has bravely fought, and been a courageous and effective warrior, for the conservative cause in the past. That doesn't change the fact that surrendering the Republican party to a wholesale liberal statist like Romney because Obama is so terrifying, sure looks and walks like cowardice.

I rarely offer appologies, Doug, but I offer one here: I am SORRY to say that I agree with so real.

So real, Doug has allowed his own hurt feelings to override holding up his end of the bargain (at least, assumed bargain) of answering MY question (see 158 and 168), fair, square, and straightforward, after I gave an honest and STRAIGHTFORWARD answer to his in post 139.

To top it off, this once-brave conservative Doug from Upland warns me I'd "better not show my face at a FReep" because he doesn't want to be in my company.

Doug says he probably won't be voting for Romney because he's in California, but urges folks in red or swing states to vote for a liberal he himself will decline.

And he doesn't want to be in MY company!

Which convinces me even more that you and I, so real, are on the right track and the right side. Truly, ABO is an affliction.
