Since this is a Republican convention it seems to me that all aspects of the party would be included.
Having just read it I don't see what's so "horriffying". It's an excellent conservative speech. And you are most likely a democrat or at best a RINO.
It's nice that you don't believe one word about support going up after that speech but the polls showed otherwise. But if you're a good liberal, you won't let the facts get in the way of your " beliefs".
You've just revealed to me and the FR world that, while you're vociferously in favor the war in Iraq, you're no conservative. Being pro-Iraq-war certainly isn't a conservative litmus test; Kerry is for the war, too; so is Hilary. But real conservatives agree that there's a culture war in this country and that the ACLU, etc is trying to tear down our institutions. That's what PJB said - and conservative applauded. Hilary - and you - didn't.
Exactly, so lets have some social conservatives speak! If it wasn't for social conservatives migrating from the Dems to the GOP, the GOP would still be a minority party - and Gore would be president. In other words, don't dis them
Please identify the passage in Buchanan's 92 speech that you found outrageous. This will help Freepers understand your liberalism, as you point out specifically the sentiments in that speech that you disagree with.
True.
Is it this passage that offended you? It also offended Hillary.
Was it this passage that made you gag? Hillary didn't like it either. Real conservatives loved it.
Maybe it was this passage that upset you so much. Kerry and Hillary were also upset by it, as was the ACLU, Norman Lear, Barbara Streisand and Michael Moore. You're in good company, Mr. liberal.
It should be given again. --- Damn straight it should.
Howlin, maybe you didn't like the speech because he was mean to Hillary.
Typical boilerplate.
Are you under the impression that I give ONE rat's butt what you think about me?
Frankly, I'm glad to be on the other side of whatever issue you're on.
And I can surely see what you'd agree with Pat Buchanan.
Are you a "real conservative?" If you are, I don't want to be one; as much as you've trashed the members of this party, I'm glad to be on the "other side" from you.
Once again, I'll post this:
About half of the "life long Republicans now fed up with Bush" posters you see on FR are actually DUh trolls. The other half are Buchananites. Impossible to tell which is which, though, as they are naturally interchangeable (with or without disguises).
You fit the bill, kiddo.
Please point out the passage in the Buchanan speech that you find offensive or embarrassing. And please stop using coarse language in your efforts to lash out at me.
You're not very knowledgable are you? One can find the 92 speech thrilling without being a "Buchananit" -- because today, a Buchananite is by definition somebody who's left the GOP. The 92 speech was all about SUPPORTING the GOP. I rooted for that speech - - as I expect Reagan did. Reagan made Buchanan his communications director -- something you may not know. The fact that Buchanan has gone off the reservation post-92 (and I didn't follow him) doesn't mean his 92 speech wasn't classic conservatism. Rush liked it. (Rush even offered to be BUchanan's PR guy - facetiously - during the 92 primaries). But this is all wasted on someone as thick as you, so I'll sign off from our unedifying "interchange" now.
I'm knowledgeable enough to know that all your posts are trolling.
Pick on somebody who cares what you think.
"Some around here -- the "real conservatives," ya know? -- are demanding somebody short of Pat. Some "in your face" stuff that would turn off most of the swing votes AND some of the other conservatives."
Oh I see, better to be "pure" than win the election, better to be "better than" and 100% "right" than work with those of lessor moral standards :-)
Yeah, let's get get excited about a chance to "tell off America". Let's get some "morally superior" sermonizer and tell the American people just how much we despise and look down on them and then, I suppose, they'll feel so ashamed and humiliated they will all magically change into "good" people that the "pure conservatives" can stand.
What a great idea. NOT
I'm not picking on you, just exposing you. (And if you don't "care what I think" -- which is fine by me -- why do you always flame my posts re. Iraq? Now that you've outed yourself as a liberal, I'll put even less credence in your hysterical responses on that issue) Have a nice day!
Because they are filled with lies.
