“I just don’t see the point in righteous indignation that Rove is doing to the conservative candidate in DE exactly what Freepers would have done to Castle had the tables been turned.”
Perhaps people had hoped that Rove was closer to our side, than the other side. Perhaps we hope to pull Rove closer, who knows. But in any case, disappointment with people’s hypocrisy when they say they’re conservative, is a normal human emotion - for both Conservatives and moderates - I imagine.
I would also add, for years people have blasted on Conservatives as wackos and extremists...it’s about time we gave back some of that ‘love.’ ;)

I disagree, but I’ll limit myself to this one remark: Your/our side is winning, and with victory should come a significant element of “good sportsmanship.”
O’Donnell gains nothing by getting into a p*ssing match with Rove. And more generally, the conservatives on this site and in the halls of power have nothing to gain by duking it out with the other end of this party. Y’all have won and should now take on the aura of winners. Attention must now turn to defeating the democrats. The roles have all been cast. The actors and actresses have all been chosen, so let’s put all of the fights over casting aside. The play must go on. The Dems must be thrashed.
Having spoken his piece, I predict that knucklehead Rove will now shut up, because he has nothing to gain either from having this continue to play out.
As the winner, O’Donnell should take the high ground and leave Rove to make an arse out of himself if he chooses. I predict that he falls in line and that the general election will end up quite close.
The difference is that the liberal media, educators and entertainment industry have brainwashed people into thinking conservatism is extremist.
The truth is that conservatism is what this country was founded on...limited government, individual responsibility, Christian-Judeao values, family values, and a national defense to protetct the country.
We aren’t too far to the Right, we are correct. Liberalism in the current American political sense was never envisioned, not by one Founder.
We are tryng to return to the original Constitutional “normal”.
