A battle for the soul of the Republican Party has spilled over into the contest for national committee chairman, as conservative members are prodding candidates to shift their way.
Now that the presidential campaign is over and the congressional leadership elections are settled, conservative activists are turning to the race for chairman as their next chance to shape the party.
Already, one candidate has come under fire for his association with a centrist organization, while a group of prominent RNC members is set to put others through an exhaustive test of their personal conservatism.
"It's important that the chairman be in line with the principles of the Republican Party as expressed in its platform, and that means the person is a conservative," said Indiana National Committeeman Jim Bopp, a prominent Republican lawyer. "It's important that the chairman wants to unite all strands of conservatism, because that's where we went wrong. We went wrong by not being faithful to our conservative principles."
Bopp, along with nearly half the voting members of the committee, has established the Conservative Steering Committee, which will meet with candidates Jan. 6 and hold a straw poll to determine whether each candidate is conservative enough to serve as chairman. The group is semi-exclusive, with some RNC members invited to join while others have had to ask to be let in.

Après vous...
“Après vous...”
There is no Apres with vous... Buzz off.
That means “after you” in French. I know you’re not terribly swift in the intelligence department given your shockingly limited vocabulary skills, so that’s why I was so kind as to provide you with its meaning. Now, this is where you say “thank you” to your betters. :-)
“That means “after you” in French.”
Mon petite chou, you are an idiot. Now buzz off. Au revoir, adios.
How sweet, you called me a little eclair. I guess that means you should bite me.
“Mon petite chou”
How sweet, you called me a little eclair. I guess that means you should bite me.
No, a little cabbage head. As to your next sentence, your coarseness is showing. Now, buzz off, mon ami.
Darling, darling, chou is French for pastry (eclair being one). You really should look these things up, y’know. Trying to be clever is not your forte, but I don’t think someone with the IQ of a turnip will be much more fortunate than stumble upon being witty than being willfully so, as is your case. But cabbage or eclair, you may still mange moi. :-)
From assorted web sites, including WikiAnswers.com:
Sure, it sounds tres romantique when whispered in French, but as terms of endearment go, “mon petit chou” is kind of, well...silly. It’s certainly an improvement over pookie and schnookums, but “my little cabbage?!” Language of love or no, it’s still a pretty goofy phrase to utter.
” Mon Petit Chou”... A french term of endearment , literally translated as ‘My Little Cabbage’
What does mon petite chou mean in French?
In: English to French:
My little cabbage.
Tu es bete, monsieur. C’est dommage. But if you’d prefer to be an eclair, then feel free. Now buzz off.
My goodness, you actually went and looked something up ! That’s showing some progress. Now if only we can wean you off your unhinged Slick Willard fetish, you might finally start to grow up. :-)

No, I knew it before I looked it up because I studied French, my little eclair. I only looked it up to copy and show to you, because you are an ignoramous. But you just can’t help yourself, can you. And compulsive to boot. A shrink would have a heyday with you. A can of worms. But, I’m bored with you. Good nite. (And buzz off)
Proof ? Evidence ? Sources ?
"I only looked it up to copy and show to you, because I am an ignoramous."
Of course.
"But you just can’t help yourself, can you."
Correcting you. But you are one of the most correctable trolls on FR. ;-)
"And compulsive to boot. A shrink would have a heyday with you. A can of worms."
Projection, thy name is Flagloony.
"But, I’m bored with you."
Yes, you certainly seem quite bored. Chasing your own tail will tend to do that.
"Good nite."
Oh, it's only 2am. You have 4 hours before you have to be back in your coffin. Whoops, forgot... you got to feed, don't you ? Munching on Slick's Magic Undies just won't satisfy the hunger, will it ?
"(And buzz off)"
Apres vous. :-)
