and use their opinion in a consensus building manner.

So everyone has to agree with your POV or it's not "consensus building". Consensus building is how we got INTO this mess.

Posting disparaging remarks... about Palin

Link to one that I made. Oh. Wait. This one? In post 64?

She’s stronger and smarter than they are as she has principles that they don’t. They will block her any way they can. And I bet SHE knows what the party platform says are Republican beliefs. Nobody in DC does.

Posting disparaging remarks... about the Republicans.

This isn't a Republican forum. It's conservative and the OWNER posts disparaging remarks about Republicans. YOU use Romney (spit) as an insult!

and other Conservatives

I never said anything about conservatives. Where's the post disparaging conservatives?

which seems to be your entire intent....

My intent is truth and reality whether you like it or not.

Sign me off sonny......

That would be Grandma.

Peddle your negitivity somewhere else!

It's spelled "negativity" and I'll post on FR where I please.

“Consensus building is how we got INTO this mess.”

Only when you try to find consensus with Democrats by agreeing with their agenda al-a McCain/Graham. Not the consensus building I was talking about and you know it.

Inter party politics is/should be a contact sport. Gridlock is our friend. (Didn’t Mark Twain say that “the only time the US is safe is when Congress is not in session?” Same idea!) Consensus among those on the same side of the aisle is nearly benign, especially when it helps to further the overall “Conservative” agenda. You can maintain your “principles” while reaching consensous. A principled Conservative Republican, Ronnie Reagan, was adept at it, and was wildly popular among the Republican rank and file because of it....

“.....Got into this mess?”

There are many on this forum that still repeat Dem talking points from 2006-2008, protraying themselves as “holier than thou” conservatives. It would be funny, if it weren’t so shortsighted and sadly pathetic......

“I never said anything about conservatives. Where’s the post disparaging conservatives?”

Many Republicans consider themselves Conservatives. Almost all consider themselves conservatives. I don’t see your point.....to most in the US, Republicans are the face of conservatism...(the reverse of Republican = conservative may not always be true, there are those third party types, a tiny percentage < 1-2% of the total electorate, always try to usurp the title of being the “only” true conservatives...lololol) By extension, disparaging Republicans in general IS disparaging conservatives. You should know that. Sarah Palin, in her own words, “is a Republican. Period!”

“My intent is truth and reality whether you like it or not.”

The reality of it all is that you opened this can of worms with your “negativity” in responding to a simple positive post I made to another Palin supporter/fan, and trying to force your negitive opinion/spin on me/us....It’s all about “your intent” isn’t it? Never mind the consequences of your suggestion of sidelining Sarah in the RNC.....

You’ve yet to learn how to turn lemons into lemonade, and dislike being called on your sour perspective. Tough. Tearing something down is much simplier than building something up......of course, if it’s the easy/fast way you want.....

“It’s spelled “negativity” and I’ll post on FR where I please.”

You’ve just agreed with my observation of your “negativity.” Thanks! A good, although tenative, start for your re-habilitation into becoming a positive, building force ...ie finding common ground for agreement among allies.....

“That would be Grandma.”

Sorry, I meant little girl... Wanna compare grey hairs? Bet I have far more! So what in any case.....I know lets compare wrinkles....that’ll prove something!

“YOU use Romney (spit) as an insult!”

Romney, and his supporters, nearly always campaign from a “”negative” perspective, and is one of the reasons for the FR Romneybot purge in 2008.....(we just witnessed that here in Ca. where Romney clone Meg Whitman conducted her campaign for the Republican primary for Gov. by mud slinging (going negative) on the airwaves 24/7 at her Republican opponet).... it’s a trait you have in common, whether you recognize that in yourself or not. You just (spat) into the wind.

I posted “Say hi to Mitt!” Insult? No, a slightly sarcastic observation of your Romney-like posting (to me) behavior. If you want to avoid the comparison, avoid the behavior.
