"Yep. If you want to get someone to the polls, it's not going to be nagging, browbeating or calling someone "DU troll" that does it.
Those tactics don't work on conservatives, and it's frankly insulting if you think that they will."
Yes it is and it's not only insulting it's childish. I would wager that everyone on this board is over 21, there's no excuse for the constant flaming, backbiting and angst that constantly appears here.
But.. I guess when you are sitting in the comfort of your own home, hidden behind the keyboard of a computer, you really do have to guard youself against coming out and attacking your fellow man. I know I've caught myself doing it and it shames me when I do.
I like to believe that the globalist are made up of interest groups who buy our politicians (demorats and republicans). I think we the people start to make waves that is when the professional politicians start to listen. I think we should rock the boat once in a while. Rock that boat in the Primary mostly. You know, hings are different between Republican and demorat. demorats will ignore problems such as north korea. kim jong ill told clinton to give him oil or he would build nukes. clinton gave him oil. kim very long time ill tried the same with Bush. Bush declined and that is when ill revealed that he already built nukes. As you know, the WTC was bombed under clinton. clinton had the chance to take the culprit into custody and clinton declined. I really don't think Bush would have done that. We are now hunting terrorist and not the other way around now. I remember the 1990s and all the gun bills. I don't see that today, thank the Lord. Our economy is now being built on strength. The kind of strength that can take $3.00 a gallon for gas. Not a Internet bubble that popped. Granted what goes up must come down. Republicans have made mistakes too. But I promise things will be different if the demorats get power. I hear and understand what you are saying. We have to get the Republicans to be loyal to the USA and not the interest of the EU or the UN or globalization. We need to stay in the party and clean it up from within. I am not cutting and running. I am staying right here with the Elephants and I am going fix our problems and not run from them.
And OH YES, you certainly ARE trying to "take me on", which is NOT something you really want to do, dear. ;^)
If "Conservatives do not agree on every issue", which is a truism, then why the bloody hell are you attempting to force me to agree with you?
I am your side as one diappointed with Bush of late but I must confess that folks are not banned here for not being Bushbots.
They are banned or suspended for duking it out with Bushbots. Some of whom are either mods themselves or cozy with them.
It's all a mystery to me to be frank....the clique stuff.
But I do know one thing. Attitudes about Bush around here tend to ebb and flow....from gushing accolades to one upon a time outright contempt.
The same socially moderate suspects rallying around Bush here now on FR were the same ones ready to commit mass exodus over Schiavo here just a little over a year ago.
Stick around if you're able and you'll see what I mean
I apologized earlier I thought, if not, sorry for being mistaken.
Damn, I'm out of smokes.

If, as you say, he is your friend, then you need to help him; he needs a LOT of help!
Oh golly....now THAT brings back a flood of memories. LOL
Only because you rode the short bus to school.
I work electronics/computers/electical when I'm not cooking for my Uncle.
We had a dog fence around the yard.... umpty-kV with a GFI.... just to keep the dogs in, you understand. We didn't want to hurt the dogs sleeping on the back porch.
22 gauge magnet wire without any insulation (it's what I had, 22 gauge mag wire and paint stripper), works wonders.
Yelp! sign stealer headed toward the far-away hills.
We had it inspected. We failed twice, but managed a sign-off the third time.

I hope that you have a pleasant evening as well.
Well that was interesting.
Outstanding explanation. I understand the schiavo thing was a bloodbath. missed it all here, thankfully.

Thanks for posting those links. The n00b believes hearsay and is a heavy breather.
Shoot, just go to Mexico, you can get a carton for ten bucks....
