>Wasn’t even a FReeper in 2000, but supported Alan Keyes & then voted for W.<
Neither was I, but I worked very hard for Pat Buchanan & then voted for W. Alan Keyes wasn’t on the ballot in Washington State. But never again will I compromise my principles to vote for “the lesser of two evils”.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I have thought I have been on a very liberal site during these past few weeks.
No. I would hope not.
Yeah, like Gerald Ford, the last complete Rino president? Remember his nominee? Stevens..He’s still cursing our lives thirty years after Ford left office.
No Rudy. No way.
“In my opinion, everyone is looking at this election backwards. They are all picking their primary candidate based on how they will fare in the general.”
That’s what the dems did in 2004.
Look what that got them.
Cultural Marxism leads ultimately to economic Marxism...
That's not an obvious fact. I think a Thompson vs. Clinton race (for example) could go either way.
Both parties are advocating government control of the means of production?
“My definition of socialism is suicide.” - Not every suicide is a socialist, although some are; and what to do about such socialists as kim, fidel, hillary and the rest? It would be great for the mankind were they to off themselves, but they do not. Thus your definition is erroneous. Even if you expand it into “mass suicide”, it would not be able to stand. Look at all the collectivist places - despite mass murders and general brutality, they survive.
George Allen made the same mistake that Imus made. While unlike Imus, George Allen was not being racist, however he caved too easily to the liberal media and the rest of his campaign became nothing but an “Im sorry” tour.
BY your deluded wisdom? LOL!!
“So, does perfect become the enemy of as good as we’re likely to get?”
I suppose Rudy and McPain are perfection in your eyes/
Both are PRO homosexual.
Both have NO time for guns.
Both are PRO abortion.
Both are socialists.
Both are EXTREME social liberals.
Hardly candidates I’d even want to shake hands with or be associated with. If you took a moment to be honest, you’d see the difference between them and Demoncrats is so small it’s not worth dickering over.
The only perfect candidate would be Christ so DO brush up on your rationalization arguments. It stinks.
As for me and others, we’ll vote for conservatives and not speed up the decline of the country - to your chagrin.
Good observation. Last year freepers complained about the spending by Congressional Republicans but this year their concern seems to be abortion to the exclusion of everything else.
It's so interesting that Newt Gingrich's Contract With America didn't mention abortion and yet it's now all these so called perfect conservatives can talk about.
So are you suggesting, somehow, that Souter is a better justice because he is not quite as liberal as Ginsberg?
When has he ever issued a ruling that countered hers?
Someone posted you just banned quidnunc after nine years. Or is someone just spreading socialist, tyrannical, totalitarian rumors?
What you said. I used to call myself a broken glass Republican. Frankly, since 1996, when Bob Dole was nominated because it was his turn, (an honest guy, I believe, but no conservative) who had no fire in his belly to run for President, we got 4 more years of klintoon. Heck, even in 2000, GWB was the best the ‘pubs could come up with? Now, the old Rockefeller, country club wing is in charge. God help us and this nation.
Last few weeks?
Try last few months.
I almost quit this forum because it started getting as ‘liberal’ as some of the ‘unmentionable’ ones.
Jim is the only reason I stay.
My thoughts exactly. No, wait... isn’t this JimRob’s forum? ;-)
>If the party nominates a condidate that alienates and drives away a significant portion of the base, that’s the fault of the party....<
Exactly! Send your money directly to your candidate. Do NOT send money to the Republican National Committee!
