There are plenty of socons around here, true, but if there isn’t room for independent, grass-roots conservatism of the fiscon variety, JimRob ought to fix the masthead.
***Would you characterize Romney as a socon? As a fiscon? Why is it that JimRob had a Romneytruthfile on the ‘masthead’ for so long? And he said for months that he wouldn’t endorse a “lying, baby-killing, gun-grabbing statist” until he reluctantly endorsed him, saying “damn Romney” when he did. There is plenty of “independent, grass-roots conservatism of the fiscon variety” welcomed, but not if it is at the expense of the socon variety. Such CINOs have ruined conservatism and the GOP. So are you a fiscon who is anti-socon? If so, what are you doing here?

Kevmo-

To your questions:

Would you characterize Romney as a socon? You must be joking! Of course not.

As a fiscon? Your joking around continues! No.

Why is it that JimRob had a Romneytruthfile on the ‘masthead’ for so long? Why do you think? Check out my primary period posts. I have never been a Romney fan. But I did want the poseur gone. Still do.

So are you a fiscon who is anti-socon? No, I am not anti socon. My issue with you is that you seem to think that socon issues trump fiscon issues, and they do not. I am pro-winning. Socons often don't seem to care about winning, just self-defeating trumpeting. My issue with socons, if I have one at all, is that pushing socon issues ahead of fiscon issues means that we can't get anywhere on either front. You can't win anything if you are dead. I think that we cannot influence policy unless we can win. And there is no way to win on socon issues if as a nation we are being killed at the hands of the statists. I'm here trying to preserve our Republic for my kids and grandkids. What are YOU doing here?

If so, what are you doing here? Explained above.
