And, while I'm thinking about it, QUIT trashing our conservative candidates.

Exactly. Sometimes we conservatives can be our own worst enemies.

We've all noticed how Democrats stick together about the same way that Arabs/Muslims do. You never hear any of them trashing their own. Why can't we do the same?

Politicians do though. Look at George Bush and Ted Kennedy over education.

I don't think Ted Kennedy will be joining Bush's reelection campaign anytime soon, as Fulani did with Buchanan's bid.

Oh well, another thread that went off topic. I agree that there is too much self criticism going on at FR. I believe that Jim is trying to do two things.

1. He is trying to guide the forum back to a true political activist purpose and get away from the internal squabbling. (it is true that we eat our own more-so than the dems)

2. He is getting the forum focused on the upcomming elections. There is so much at stake. The supreme court, the senate and the house. As well as governorships. This is our true purpose.

I have heard that there will be a "chat" environment for those who want to argue the pros and cons of leadership decisions and this is fine. But remember that the world is watching this forum now to get a feel for what the conservatives are up to. If all they see is bitter conflict then they know exactly what buttons to push to get us off message. This is what is happening now.IMHO.
