I don’t know what we are arguing about. I didn’t suggest anyone should support RINOs. I said RINOs lead to disaster just like democrats.
It may be hard to get the GOP back on track but it seems to be 1000% times easier than any other scenario for conservative government. Do you have another scenario? If conservatives can’t take over the Republican party they certainly can’t form a third party that would drive the GOP put of existence.
Those comments are breathtaking. They’d be hilarious if meant as satire.
Bush on a par with Reagan? John McCain led us in the right direction? I guess an R next the name is only qualification for greatness that is necessary in a commander in chief? WPIN? I have to disagree. I give low marks to the Bushes, Ford, Nixon, Ike, and Hoover.
Reagan and Coolidge were the last 2 good Presidents in my opinion. Who else left the nation in better shape than they found it? What other GOP Presidents left the GOP in better shape than they were at before he took office? The low regarded Warren Harding was apparently a much better President than most of his successors. Warren Harding the third best President of last 90 years. Take that Presidential historians. I wish we would return to normalcy in 2012 and nominate an ardent proponent of small government.
You are absolutely right. The only solution is to move the Republican party back to conservatism.
Thanks. Looking back Wpin looks to me like a conformist. He made these posts when such comments were popular on talk radio (not Rush thank goodness) and here even. After the election he starts complaining about McCain as the crowd does. I see very little original thoughts in his posts.
I am anti-conformist. Back before the election I was scared that if I was too tough on McCain, Id get kicked off here, so I did it carefully. Tried to warn election day would not be happy.
If wpin was a bit more polite, I would not of bothered.

I am PROUD to be attacked and maligned as a "Bushbot," and wear the label now, and ever, as a badge of honor.
That was the original intent. Universal suffrage was not a new thing when it was implemented in the U.S. It was known as 'democracy' in ancient times (Greece and Rome) and was simply mob rule. (e.g., 'Bread and Circuses' in ancient Rome.) It has taken a couple of hundred years to subvert the Constitution to the point that we now have 'mob rule' in the U.S., but the consequences are easy to recognize.
Basically the republic survives until the overwhelming mass of 'citizens' begins to vote themselves money out of the treasury in the belief that it is 'free'.
Yes, because in order to "defend" the unborn, you have to saddle them with tens of thousands of Federal obligations from day one.
Some "defender."
Her’s three great ideas she has posted here to connect with freepers:
1) for the constitution
2) Against Marxism
3) for conservatives in congress
Sounds great HUH? Don't ask what any of those mean.
“But it is not useful to anyone else.”
Fandom rarely is.
I think you might have misunderstood me which is easy to do on here. Bush is twice the man Carter is and five times the patriot. However, I don't think Bush was very good example of a conservative president.
Carter was too much of a failure. LBJ had some accomplishments. Bush was somewhere in between.
