This illustrates precisely why people should use the author’s title. I did a search for the title, and nothing came up. How was I supposed to know this was a duplicate?
Anyway, while I added my own subtitle, I did include the author's original title, so anyone thinking of posting it later will know it's already up.
Not a criticism, just cross-referencing.
*snicker* Good line!
Perhaps, but that's precisely why he will never rise to an office higher than Congressman.
Do the puppeteers want a man of integrity in the White House?No.
Unfortunately, neither does the American public.
I was talking about abortion, but thanks.
Where did you get this hairbrained idea? It’s an out and out lie, and if you have a shred of the above left, you know it very well.
Well, Fred certainly never voted to put Bill out of the White House. I know, I know, he split his vote.
>*snicker* Good line!<
*snicker! OUT of line!
No matter what Fred does, the Fred people have a blind spot. Just like the Rudy supporters.
Of course, Rudy is far worse, but I wish posters would not be afraid to learn the differences among the candidates.
This is PRIMARY TIME, after all.
As Laura Ingraham said, this is the time to see what we’re made of.
FR is a private enterprise and they have every right to ban anyone they want, right, wrong or otherwise. We are here only at the owners pleasure. Expecting equity is expecting too much. That's just the way it is. If the Hunter supporters are eliminated without reason, there is nothing you can do about it.
“All successful politicians flip-flop. It’s the price of winning elections. While I don’t like it, it’s the reality. There’s a name for a politician who is “pure” and always sticks to his principles:
loser.”
Ronald Reagan was no loser.
Time to show courage folks, and support a REAL CONSERVATIVE, Duncan Hunter.
For, if a poster can be banned for linking to an article in National Review by a respected conservative like Ramesh Ponnuru...
Man, I could have some fun with this....
It must be nice to be able to wallow in such self-pity rather than take stock of and responsibility for your own actions and their consequences.
I don't know why pissant was banned, specifically, but he had been warned about his posting behavior many times. Like many of the Rudycides of the spring, it seems to me like he intentionally provoked his own banning as some sort of "martyr" complex.
What’s your point, Petronski? Maybe if pissant had been more of a distruptor and insulter he could have stayed, like you.
So you're saying that pissant intentionally SplodeyDunc'ed himself? Seriously though, I don't know what the reason was for pissant abrupt departure, and I don't know if it was justified or not (though, as was said, as a PRIVATE organisation, FR can ban you because Jim Robinson doesn't like the way you part your hair), but pissant WAS a discredit to Duncan Hunter. I think DH would be pretty ticked off if he saw the way a lot of his supporters behave themselves on FR.
What’s my point?
Pissant wasn’t suspended for doing that one thing. Claiming he was is a strawman.
No. Part of the reason is that he had his flip-flips too.
Signed an abortion law as governor and then became staunchly pro-life. Then appoints O'Connor to the bench. Cuts income taxes, and then raises FICA tax and then income taxes again in 1986. Sent troops into Lebanon only to pull them out when the barracks are bombed.
There's more where that came from.
Don't get me wrong; Reagan was a great president, but he was by no means pure in his conservatism. He compromised his principles when it was politically necessary, as all politicians must.
Anyone who doesn't isn't going to get far in politics.
That's the real world. I suggest you learn to live with it.
