Nice try. What "charges" are you talking about? I have seen post after post making "charges" that are so full of holes it would take a week to close them. I have seen "charges" so false that it is good that they are made against a public figure or Jim would be sued out of business. Some call Bush supporters "Bush-Bots" yet never look in the mirror and ask themselves if they take their guy to task be it Keyes, Buchanan, Phillips, Browne or any of the public faces of the various factions on FR. You asked MM if she was capable of changing her mind with the clear implication that she was a "bot" and could not. I have yet to see any mind "changed" on this site from the libertarians, paleo-conservatives or the Tancredo for President crowd. So get off the high-horse and stop accusing those that support the GOP and Bush being sheep when there are more than one flock of sheep grazing in this meadow.
When criticisms or 'charges', such as George Bush not being conservative or even very Republican when he supported things like CFR, amnesty for illegals, the PATRIOT act, and Homeland Security are made, the 'bots' spring into action and question the loyalty, intelligence and even the parentage of the person. (I've been away from FR for the better part of the last two months due to illness so I don't have more specific or recent examples).
"Some call Bush supporters "Bush-Bots" yet never look in the mirror and ask themselves if they take their guy to task be it Keyes, Buchanan, Phillips, Browne or any of the public faces of the various factions on FR."
I supported, worked for and voted for George W., but even if I did not, I still have the right to question and criticize his policies especially, I would think, on a forum whose purpose is to promote conservativism, right??
" You asked MM if she was capable of changing her mind with the clear implication that she was a "bot" and could not."
There was no implication. It was a flat out pronouncement.
"I have yet to see any mind "changed" on this site from the libertarians, paleo-conservatives or the Tancredo for President crowd."
It's highly unlikely that any regular posters here will ever change their minds. Perhaps some lurkers get an education and come over from "the dark side". In a group that I belong to, I'd say that we agree on about 90% of the key issues, but fight like hell for the other 10%. The percentages are different here, but the principle is much the same.

Nice turn of a phrase there, many of the 'GOP supporters" don't sound much different from the clinton sycophants that we all fought against before (and now).
