Just a final point. I am not a “troll” any more than you are. It does not further dialog to engage in gratuitous name-calling.
***It does not further dialog for you to tell a conservative on a conservative website that he prefers 0bama.
What I am is a principled constitutional conservative with the practical goal of restoring constitutional government to our country.
***Then quit pounding other conservatives, focus your anger on the GOP-E who are against that practical goal you mentioned and also gave us this POS statist candidate.
What are you?
***I’m a big tent conservative. From my home page:

I’m a big tent republican.

Here’s an analogy to work with. Take a small box and fill it with some rocks. Then add some rice, filling it to the top. Now take all the same stuff, but in a different order. Put in the rice first, then add the rocks. What you’ll find is that if you put in the big stuff first, the small stuff will fit around it. But if you put in the small stuff first, the big stuff won’t have room. The republican tent is the box. The Big issues are the socon issues, to be put in first. The little issues are things that can be accommodated around the bigger stuff. A candidate who tries to focus on the smaller issues first and leave out the bigger issues has no way of getting all of us into the tent. He splits the party. The candidate who gets the big stuff right and as much of the little stuff that will fit, he can fit more into the tent. We’re often amazed at how much rice can keep fitting in. Folks such as Rudy or Romney flunk some of the big issues, and on some of the little issues it looks to me like anyone else’s rice would do just as well. All that remains for us to agree on is which are the bedrock principles and which are not. Why would there be so much invective aimed at rudy or romney from the right? Because there are some bedrock principles that he is leaving out. Bad move. I see rudybot and romneybot postings all the time saying that they would vote for Hunter or Palin, and I see socon postings that say they would not vote for rudy or romney. That’s a BIG indicator of a few bedrock principles that are being left outside the tent in order to let in some rice.

Once again, here you are exposed as the “small tent” conservative/republican or whatever you want to call yourself. You are quite willing to take from Constitutional conservatives, but you are not willing to give an inch. I’m really not that different from you; I would infinitely prefer Palin or Hunter to Romney or Giuliani. But I would prefer even more to save our country from the likes of Obama and his statist cronies.
Unlike the brayers, I actually care about what happens in the real world.
