Is this DU all of a sudden?

I'm concerned about the conservative base. My main concern, lesser government, just protect our country.

[Kevmo]

Yawn. That's why we need a RINO HUNTER.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Rudy is no Reagan.

Whoever said he was?

[potlatch]

I think that is one of your alltime favorite gifs, other than the McCain flasher, lol

[Carry_Okie]

Look, if you want Lincoln, Silent Cal or Reagan, become a grave robber; you aren't going to get a replacement.

Let's look at the succession of your RINO Presidents, shall we?

Eisenhower led to Kennedy.
Nixon/Ford led to Carter.
Bush I led to Clinton.
Bush II has reinvigorated the Democrat Party.

In each case, the public tired of the RINO and went for the Democrats, thinking them not far different, and they were right. Compare that to Reagan, who is the ONLY modern Republican President who was followed by another Republican. In his case, the public enjoyed the benefits of conservatism and wanted more, as they still do. My intent is to do my best to see that they realize that wish.

So genius, what parta of the Republican Platform is worth dumping in order to pretend to be palatable to moderates without looking like a Democrat? Give us a list; you'll soon learn how shallow its presumptions really are.

[nopardons]

You've got it backwards re Newt, but all the rest is spot on.

Phil -

Hillary's dark OD jacket is missing the armband on her left sleeve -

No - Maybe her US Marines outfit patch

Hillary said she "almost" joined the Marines once!

Very classy potlatch!

It's even better for WebTV users

The music does not "freeze" the animation

FR is not representative of the greater American populace.


This forum was just as fractured the last time around and came back together; more or less. FR will NEVER again be as all together, as it was when Clinton was president. Even IF *spit* Hillary is elected, blame for such a catastrophe will probably keep it separated/Balkanized; if recent history is any indication.

"Be true to the principles it was founded on.............."? Abolishing slavery? LOL

Look, if you want Lincoln, Silent Cal or Reagan, become a grave robber; you aren't going to get a replacement. Times change, problems change, and remember, Ike was NO Goldwater; for all that and Barry lost in a massive landslide.

--

You said a mouthful, nopardons.

I'd like to leave it at that and allow those words to stand as to why I find you to be one of the more difficult posters to follow much less swallow here at FR.

I doubt you are old enough to have voted for either Ike or Barry, yet odly enough,you seem to revel in Goldwater's defeat in your own unique condescending way.

The slavery remark is from left field and hardly relevant to the issues at hand but not untypical of a response from you, imo.

Principles? Yeah, who needs them?

As to robbing graves, I'll pass on that one, I shovel enough BS offered up here by certain folks as is to bother with the crudity of the comment and its import here.

You seem pretty indifferent as to what is happening in California currently, so it's no surprise that for you, that should apply to the GOP nationally as well and your choice to see it and FR cajoled to move further to the left.

I guess I see you as one of many who would rather take the easy path and ignoring the cost associated with moving to the middle and what it will portend in the long run. Your continued flirtations and support for candidates further to the left than the right of center on any number of issues when it comes to candidates is evidence of that.

FR was never intended to be representative of the greater
American populace, only to provide a forum for and gathering place of free people with higher aspirations working towards a furtherance of a conservative agenda, not its diminishment.

The sooner folks quit their dalliances with the middle , the better, imo. Until then, FR will remain fractured and whose fault will that be in the end?

"It's necessary because having a stable situation in Iraq will quicken our ability to defeat terrorism."

I will support any candidate in the general election who holds this view. A president with this conviction is the only thing that will stand in the way of our feckless Congress' capitulation on the world stage and a massive slaughter in Iraq.

It is issue #1.

[Doninnj]

Don't vote for him.

[Peach]

Spam. The last refuge of someone who has nothing to say.

[potlatch]

Thank you.
