CW, You just had a poster tell you he is “amazed Jim let’s you stay on this CONSERVATIVE forum”.

Please let me show you what I said to another poster who tried that on me in another thread.

(Other poster to me)

you have no business being on a conservative website.

(My response to other poster on that thread)

I am SOOOOO glad you said just what you did!

And I hope other conservatives on here that support Rick Perry see my response, for this next thing I am going to say needs to be pointed out to those Perry supporters who get bashed in the way you just tried to do to me here.

OK Perry supporters, think about last night’s debate.

Oh... OK... that was depressing! LOL

Let’s do THIS. Think about the AUDIENCE at last night’s debate.

A CONSERVATIVE audience, right? At least for the most part. (Some silly billys may have discovered how to get in too, but we’ll say for the most part that debate audience last night was conservative.)

Hey, in fact, start thinking about ALL the debates Rick Perry has done so far in this presidential debate... three, correct? OK, think about those three audiences.

Three conservative audiences.

Well, what has happened in those debates, full of conservative individuals mind you, when Perry, or any of the others for that matter, said something they did not fully agree with?

You heard a negative response to a remark made on that issue.

What happened in those debates, full of conservative individuals mind you, when Perry, or any of the others for that matter, said something the audience approved of or appreciated?

You heard a positive response!

Those conservative individuals in those debate audiences did not throw a candidate off the stage when there was a sore issue between them.

Those conservative individuals in those debate audiences showed their DISAPPROVAL of the political stands coming out on stage... and those conservative individuals showed their APPROVAL of other stands coming out on stage.

Yet no audience to date in this campaign tossed any candidate off the stage and out of the party, and every audience came back with cheers for candidates even after they may have boo-ed that same candidate a little earlier in the debate.

So.....

We all can SEE how REAL conservatives treat their candidates by watching those REAL conservatives in REAL-LIFE situations. They have boo-ed stands, but their actions are not one of tossing a candidate out because of their “boos” on any specific issue.

To the poster here:

I am laughing at you because... “my LOGIC”???? Ah, come on.... I wasn’t even talking about any “logic” of immigration at all. I gave Rush Limbaugh’s logic, and if you think HE shouldn’t be on FR, then go tell HIM! And I gave you points that are fact but that Rick Perry never even deemed to mention last night, points that would not have made the Texas DREAM Act more appealing for many who abhor it anyway, but points that would have cleared up confusion and misinformation. Unless you LIKE confusion and misinformation, then those points should be made known.

So poster, I’m laughing at your suggestion, and I’m laughing at your result.

And to Rick Perry supporters:

Don’t let ANY bozo tell you that you are not conservative or that you should not be on a conservative message board like Free Republic just because you are a Rick Perry supporter, backing a candidate that has mostly 100% conservative values but a few that are not quite 100%.

And DON’T let people trick you into thinking we can not talk about the issues of our candidate — good OR bad. Both kinds come with EVERY candidate!

Don’t hide, and don’t hang your head low.

We know when to clap, and we know when to boo, but we will not make OUR candidate, nor his supporters, leave the debate when there is one boo. We’ll wait for all the other “clapping moments”, and we’ll go on to winning an election...

(...and we may need to talk to Rick Perry about taking some debate classes before October 1 too, LOL)

So hey..... THANKS (name omitted to protect the probably-not-so-innocent). You just gave ME some of that name of yours, and by God’s grace, I just gave some of that steel resolve to those Perry supporters out there on Free Republic too!
