Please, don’t rain on the Sarah parade...

Sorry, I mean to say:

Help us Sarah Palin, you're our only hope!

Better? I've got to take a shower now and get back to trying to make contact with Goldwater's ghost.

[mccainiac503]

You might want to quote him from his peak years, not his scattered autumn.

One of the quotes was from 1958...

What changed between 1958 and the 1980s was Roe v. Wade and Griswold v. Connecticut among other SC decisions that federalized moral issues that had always been the domain of the states. The US Constitution was shredded in the name of a phantom right to privacy, the commerce clause and other dubious claims made by liberal activist judges. The states have been rendered vassal welfare states despite all of Goldwater's warnings. So yes, I'll trade every GOP Senator for 40 that could argue as passionately as Barry did for what he believed in.

I mean, I hate that homo RINO Goldwater. Just like McCain, another failed bitter old man from Arizona. Better?

I don’t know, 2912 is kind of far away.

[Bob J]

I’ve had time to think about it now, TRIG PALIN XXXVI.

[Bob J]

Heheh...

[wardaddy]

Sure, the Religious Right frightens people like me who lean libertarian on social issues

the war we are in is as much about the social issues as anything..maybe more

gonna be tough times ahead for you because we are coming and with a vengeance.

you might have to go Dem.

btw, what freedom of your's has the religious right usurped so far...be specific

[pissant]

I’ll educate ya son on Goldwater’s downfall sometime.

[Bob J]

“gonna be tough times ahead for you because we are coming and with a vengeance.”

Vengeance is the Lord’s, not yours.

BTW - This is why people are scared of you.

[ansel12]

Any republican that talks like that will never get the conservative vote.

[ansel12]

BTW - This is why people are scared of you.

If you are afraid of social conservatives, then why do you hang out with us?

[Bob J]

Hang out with who? How many mice do you have in you pockets?

[ansel12]

Why hang out on such a pro God, pro conservative site, if you are so anti conservative and anti religious conservatives?

[Bob J]

"Any republican that talks like that will never get the conservative evangelical vote."

Fixed it.

[ansel12]

It is the religious Americans that are conservatism, don’t you look at voting data?

[wardaddy]

BTW - This is why people are scared of you

...if you're afraid of me, then you sure scare easy son.

[Bob J]

You’re propensity to inextricably link conservatism with your own brand of Christianity is illogical and quite frankly, offensive.

Again, who are those mice you got in your pockets and what “vengeance” are you going to extract?

More importantly, why?

[Bob J]

“...if you’re afraid of me, then you sure scare easy son.”

Oh, I’m not scared.

[Bob J]

Hmmm, last time I looked a signficant number of “religious Americans” were voting for dems.

Maybe you should clean up your own house before looking for boogeymen among your own numbers.

[ansel12]

No, maybe you should look at how you people vote.

[ansel12]

You’re propensity to inextricably link conservatism with your own brand of Christianity is illogical and quite frankly, offensive.

You find my "brand" of Christianity "offensive", what is my brand of Christianity?
