Oh, I suppose that's some sort of double-secret Bushbot way of calling me a Gorebot?
I'm putting you on the lisp.

Oh well, it's not your job you are losing.

I'm putting you on the lisp.
I'm not sure I agree with your definition of "mainstream", but I like the original thought -- thanks for the post.
The word I would use for someone like that is a "trimmer" or "compromiser". Bob Dole would be my perfect example. He had two needs: A) Be in the room when the Big Deal goes down, B) Be able to "produce results" for his audience by being able to hold up a bill at the end of the "process". And never mind content so much.
Lose, loser, losest.
Oh.
Then I meant to do it.
I will stay comfortably in the mainstream of the conservative movement...no problem there.
The trouble is with the sewage discharge of the statist socialists who have been polluting the political waters of this country for a generation.
They have pumped so much of it out that many, even some who call themselves 'conservative', think they are drinking from the cool clear waters of a mountain stream.
No I just could give a rats patoot if you "take a hike". I am not here to change your mind or "win you back". You think way too much of yourself.
Better re-check the memory hole on that date.
And the whiners Bushies are busy talking among themselves about how special they are, how much more they know about and love the Constitution the way politics is played than anybody else on the face of the earth; basically saying, "Hey, I'm special, and if you don't agree with me, I'll say you're a BushBot, locksteppers, goose stepper, facist, socilist Keyster, one-percenter, extreme right-winger, fringe lunatic, druggie, child-molesting libertarian."
I know. I'll leave it to others to judge what that says about you and about me.
Tex, I showed Laz that Reagan could be more liberal than Tip O'Neill at times and all I basically got from Laz was a "Oh I was not politically astute at the time".
I am damned glad that W. is following the Reagan model.
Indeed. Most conservatives aren't going to express their dismay at Administration policy to some (probably) liberal pollster.
