Give it a rest, Spiff. A lot of your buddies had a hissy fit over Chris Cannon recently, a conservative Republican with a near 100% ACU rating and attempted to torpedo him in the primaries. Guess his constituents saw through that b/s though, and gave him the nod anyway. You holier than thou types dump all over conservative Republican candidates every chance you get. No clean hands here.

Btw, I wish Graf and Tancredo and any just like them who win their primaries all the luck in the world. We need as many conservatives up there as we can possible get.

And Torie, if you are sowing uncertainty and doubt about a conservative Republican candidate, knock it off! We need winners now more than ever. Do not do the Democrats jobs for them.

And, yes, we are all conservatives here. Don't forget it. And don't forget Ronald Reagan's 11th commandment.

Thanks

Thank you for your attention to my post to you and for going beyond the typical flippant response. I know that my comments on this issue have been acerbic, but I am truly disturbed at the turn that Free Republic has taken since I first signed on in (actually before) 1997. I'm not trying to yank your chain or anything, I justed wanted to make my point about the direction things are going in from my observation.

Chris Cannon was NOT the most conservative candidate in that PRIMARY race. We "dumped" all over his less than conservative border security record in that PRIMARY race. Which was entirely appropriate for a PRIMARY election between two Republican candidates in an almost totally Republican district wherein no matter which Republican candidate won the primary election he would also win the general election. I believe that my actions were appropriate and kept with my consistant support for the most conservative candidate in any race. The only "b/s" in that race was the lies and smears spread by his establishment opponent and his corrupt brother who serves as the Utah state GOP chairman. Lies and smears which were echoed here by the so-called "moderates" on this site.

That is entirely untrue. I consistantly support the most conservative candidate. Yes, I hold everyone's feet to the fire, even conservatives. When a conservative politician steps out of line and starts going squishy, I call attention to it in hopes that some pressure may be applied to keep him on track with the conservative agenda. And I'm surprised that you would characterize that as "holier than thou". I never thought that Jim Robinson would state the opinion that someone is actually too conservative. Hmmmm...

And, yes, we are all conservatives here. Don't forget it.

And that's why two people in this very thread were either attacking or undermining conservative Republican congressional candidate Randy Graf's efforts in a critical general election and they themselves admitted that they were NOT conservative, but moderate.

And don't forget Ronald Reagan's 11th commandment.

Does that commandment apply to attacks on conservative Republican Tom Tancredo? Just wondering...

But, hey, it's your forum. You can do with it what you want. I just thought... Oh, never mind. It's your forum. Premiere...conservative...all that. Just giving you my two cents. Cheers.
