“..had nothing to do with the Bush years. Whatever. But I would think now that the budgetary house is burning down (in part because of the spending that occurred in the eight years prior to Obama) and that the obvious problem is continuous massive government spending, that you would have more important things to worry about than gays in the party.” - Poison Pill


You are clearly out of your intellectual league trying to duel with TitusQC. Trying to push W on the REAL conservatives (i.e. Social AND Fiscal conservatism) is absurd. Yes, he occasionally tossed in some Christian terminology to try to keep the real conservatives at bay; however, I remember in the late 1990’s being in the talk radio business, most of the conservatives including myself were very frustrated that you pseudo-conservatives were coronating this guy before anyone knew a damned thing about him other than his last name.

I was a Keyes supporter and although I knew he wouldn’t win, the last person on my list would have been McCain and second to the last was George W. Bush.

Oh, it's fair. FR was ground zero for Bush support. A very few bristled at "compassionate conservatism" but most lived with it. The few that objected to the spending and programs were quickly shouted down. Ever read the Daily Dose threads back then? Yikes!

you pseudo-conservatives

Again with the undefined, made up titles. What's with that? I'm a libertarian and I've made my beliefs clear here.
