Rebut anything I posted in 187, or admit defeat.

And so we see that you cannot actually discuss or debate, but must make up your own straw-men questions, attack them, and then charge others with being cowards. Again, a tactic embraced by Alinsky and eschewed by conservatives like William Buckley, Ronald Reagan, and Rush Limbaugh.

Can you tell me where I was a defender of McCain or Palin? What makes you think I doubt anything you posted in 187?

Rather, I am looking for a VERY SIMPLE answer if you are brave enough to answer it:

Who is your ideal conservative candidate?

Or perhaps mother’s apron strings beckon for you?

How many people do you suppose your incessant anti-Palin screeds have changed their opinion of her from favorable to unfavorable?

Make notes as you tour the forums and see that rabs, doughty, pissant, stephensomething or other and others to a lesser extent spend more time being paranoid about RINOs and trashing Palin than they do criticizing the left-wing socialist(s) in the White House and Congress.<<<

U nailed em!..check their past post..they are OBSESSED with trashing Palin
I haven't figured out if its Psycho-sexual disorder > http://members.rediff.com/cweber/symptoms.html

or narcissistictic personality disorder >
https://health.google.com/health/ref/Narcissistic+personality+disorder

The symptoms are somewhat the same for all of them... U can hear their rage in their rants!

Defeat to what? You haven’t addressed my original question that apparently has shaken you to the core to bring out such vitriol!

Who is your ideal conservative candidate? Who would you support?

Is this question too challenging, to complex for you?

” Who is your ideal conservative candidate?”

Candidates are recruited from the human race.

The closest?

He died in 2004.

Ther you go again SJB. Predictable as a pole dancer.

First join a Palin bashing fest with what you think are some smart comments, that nobody agrees with and has seen repeated in every other Palin bashing thread no matter what the topic actually is, then progressing to name calling all those that disgree with you.

Then the real classy finish is posting continuously that you agree with all the posters that agree with you, to give some support where there is obviously no support whatsoever, and filling up the finish of a thread with many of your own posts, as if that signifies something.

Thanks for your participation SJB. SJB, the cookie-cutter.

Thus a non-answer; so what is your point, if you want to jump in and attack me for asking a very simple question?

Can you provide any more hints about who died in 2004, or perchance a name? A year simply narrows it down to a few tens of millions of people worldwide.

Sure some of it is repetitious, my factoid page on MeCain in particular. It’s also true.

What’s their come-back for that.

There’s only one reason why we’re repeating ourselves.

Refusal to confront what McCain has done, and why he and those who back him are unfit to hold public office, if we’re truly looking for people well grounded in Conservatism.

No matter how hard folks try to run from that fact, it’s still out there and irrefutable.

I’d get hacked off too if I had no comeback for this.

Ronald Reagan. He wasn’t perfect, but compared to anyone today he comes damned close.

Quantity never replaces quality. Buckley and Reagan understood that; Alinsky never did.

LOL, and facts are stubborn things...hard to refute, so I guess we conservatives have to settle for being called an “Alinskyite”

Many of them will be zotted if McCain wins.

Thanks for the answer. Would you take umbrage with this quote from the great President:

"When I began entering into the give and take of legislative bargaining in Sacramento, a lot of the most radical conservatives who had supported me during the election didn't like it.

"Compromise" was a dirty word to them and they wouldn't face the fact that we couldn't get all of what we wanted today. They wanted all or nothing and they wanted it all at once. If you don't get it all, some said, don't take anything.

"I'd learned while negotiating union contracts that you seldom got everything you asked for. And I agreed with FDR, who said in 1933: 'I have no expectations of making a hit every time I come to bat. What I seek is the highest possible batting average.'

"If you got seventy-five or eighty percent of what you were asking for, I say, you take it and fight for the rest later, and that's what I told these radical conservatives who never got used to it.

I think there is a lot of wisdom there; if we can get a more conservative candidate in the primaries then by all means let's do it. However, to say the more conservative candidate in the general is worthy of scorn or being ignored simply is not in the spirit or literal words of the great Ronald Wilson Reagan.

You take the best you can get now, and fight for better in the future.

Is that a controversial statement?

Stay classy. If your weasling out now, don’t beat around the bush, come out and admit it. One honest post here at FR won’t be the death of you.

Sarah Palin is the voice of the conservative movement

There is a reason the GOP is called the "Stupid Party."

"...Senator McCain and I agree on the big picture, where it is that the country needs to go..."
RINO SARAH PALIN, 28 MAR. 2010

"I think the Democratic Party is a fine party, and I have
no problems with it, in their views and their philosophy."

RINO JOHN MCCAIN, 02 APR. 2004

"I have to tell you, [Obama] is a decent person, a person that you
do not have to be scared [of] as president of the United States."

RINO JOHN MCCAIN, 10 OCT. 2008

"But certainly in the short term, or even the long term,
I would not support repeal of Roe vs. Wade,
which would then force women in America
to [undergo] illegal and dangerous operations.”

RINO JOHN MCCAIN, 24 AUG. 1999

"In the long term, if you alienate the Hispanics,
you’ll pay a heavy price. By the way,
I think the fence is least effective.
But I’ll build the G****mned fence if they want it!"

RINO JOHN MCCAIN, FEB. 2007

"There are jobs that Americans will not do,
so we have to make it possible for someone to come
to this country to do a job that an American won’t do
and then go back to the country from where they came."

RINO JOHN MCCAIN, 16 OCT. 2004

"I would rather have a clean government
than one whose — quote — First Amendment rights
are being respected that has become corrupt.
If I had my choice, I’d rather have a clean government."

RINO JOHN MCCAIN, 24 APR. 2006

"I think that gay marriage should be allowed,
if there’s a ceremony kind of thing,
if you want to call it that."

RINO JOHN MCCAIN, FEB. 2007

"I believe climate change is real."
RINO JOHN MCCAIN, 23 FEB. 2010

"[Conservatives are] going to destroy the f*cking [Republican] party... Why would I want to be the leader of a party of such a**holes?"
RINO JOHN MCCAIN, UNKNOWN

True to form, just repeating posts that you are agree with, trying to substantiate flacky arguments by dint of repetition. Man, you must be a godawful bore in real life, like you are here at FR.
