I do know and understand the " you aren't black enough " thing, though I am not a black person. You are correct about it being thesame ruse, though. What it boils down to , is you aren't " legitimate ", unless you agree with me / the straight party line. It is used as a bludgeon.
Libertarians, in case you haven't yet noticed, use code words, and phrases ( the vast majority here do ) , just as the Dems do. They stick together, browbeat, and yes, even share quite a number of the same positions with their Liberal counterparts.
Dems, no matter what, stick together . Conservatives tend not to, and that IS our downfall. Dems and Comes have always understood about incrimentalization. It's worked beautifully for them. The political naifs, here, don't get it . They want instant gratification or NOTHING , which means that they wind up with nothing. They ridicule the Dems for sticking together, no matter what, and then wonder WHY Conservative positions get left in the dust or have to be fought an uphill battle for.
This forum was , I think, supposed to give us power and leverage, by working together. It's managed to make bitter enemies , within the Conservative movement. Until those who do NOT and shall NOT have the numbers to overthrow the GOP wake up to that, and start to see that a one topic or a really fringe position on something will NOT gain support, we are destined to be fracationated and Balkanized , at best.
George Bush is our president . He has the slimmest majority in the House and a minority in the the Senate. With such figures, getting anything passed, including Consesrvative Supreme Court nominees , is going to be very difficult. To be pleased, about " knocking off a RINO " , is delusional, in this climate. It is a death wish, which no amount of standing on one's supposed principles is going to help matters.
I don't know why some would rather have an empty glass, than one that is 1/4 or 1/2 or even 3/4 full.
Well there are RINOs and RINOs you know, nearly all of us are pleased to have politically disposed of Riordan in California.
Sure. That's why Gore won, right?
Ah, such fond memories I have of Chicago '68. What a love fest and moment of solidarity that was.
