For example, you said this:
Frankly, what you think moves me not. There are many Republicans that aren't worthy of receiving my vote, but have, and I am constantly rethinking my blind support of the GOP every day. The lesser of two evils is getting rather old. The 'Patriot' Act comes to mind. Pure rubbish.

And so that makes me a RAT? Actually, by criticizing this statement, it is easy to label you a blind statist GOP'er. That's not good for the GOP (where it needs to go to bring America back to Constitutional principles) nor for America.
Were you aware that the 'Patriot' Act was poisoned with the 4th Amendment-gutting 'sneek-a-peak' infringement by the DOJ, because 'sneek-a-peak' was stripped out of the last bill it was inserted into once that bill was read and debated?
Were you aware that the Bush Administration strong-armed the GOP House Leadership (Hastert, IMO, isn't much better than Lott) into forcing a 'either you're a "Patriot" or you aren't' vote of the Act with no reading or even debate?
And that's A-OK with you simply because it's Republican legislation and you're a Republican?
That, fellow FReeper, would make you a statist fool...and certainly doesn't warrant your specious attack that I'm a RAT. But, I'll survive...
