“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.
Which is EXACTLY what they've been doing. Combing posts looking for something to attack?
There are many on this forum that still repeat Dem talking points from 2006-2008,
I wouldn't know.
Many Republicans consider themselves Conservatives.
Most are Rinos and don't know what a conservative view is. That's why FR is a forum for conservatives.
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
That other poster and I had been talking BEFORE I responded to you. She pinged me to a post because she was catching grief for her view.
You’ve yet to learn how to turn lemons into lemonade
You mean like celebrating that the Repub Good Ole Boys picked McCain to lose to Obama?
You’ve just agreed with my observation of your “negativity.
Hardly. I posted my OPINION which you have continued to slam because I don't agree with you.
Sorry, I meant little girl.
Proving my point again. I have a different opinion than you and you don't like it.
Romney, and his supporters, nearly always campaign from a “”negative”
Again, I wouldn't know. I lived in Ohio when his father ran Mich. Not well liked by my family so I dismissed "Mitt" early on.
No, a slightly sarcastic observation of your Romney-like posting (to me) behavior. If you want to avoid the comparison, avoid the behavior.
Still can't accept that someone disagrees with you.
Now you can have the last word as I won't answer your childish posts again.
Have a good evening.
