    Not a lone protestor or crowd member. Not a fringe nut on Free Republic. On the official Republican website in the state capitol of the most populous state in the Union. This is why the GOP has to be defeated this time. For the sake of a decent conservatism.[^]

      So? After all the grief you assholes have given Bush, and someone is supposed to be outraged about this? Cry me a river... Take your outrage and stick it where the sun don't shine.

      Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.

          And Gary Trudeau about Palin? You have to be kidding...... The Dems act all worried about decency when they are on the losing end. When some old folks in Florida can't figure out how to vote, its a scandal... When ACORN is being investigated in 14 states, Nancy Pelosi and crew want to provide them federal funding.

          Uptight Ex-Military Republican married to a Commie Lib - How weird is that?

                  I don't have to suggest anything. There isn't a single Democratic Party website that advocates violence against McCain.

                    Defending not even close, just amazed at the indignation that Dems will heap on the Republicans while being just as nasty and intellectually dishonest. I don't think either party has the high ground here.

                        Please. We are butting heads with the kings of low. Who gives a shit? Stop grieving over insults to the left, they deserve it. That and a lot more.

                          Since I am asking an even-handed question, it makes no difference. You can, of course, play schoolyard games about "he started it!" if you wish, but I thought you might see the futility of that approach.

                                Nonsense. A radically leftist government (the kind guys like you would support) suits my purposes far better than would another milquetoast republican administration paying lipservice to conservative principles. It is a perfect time for conservatives to abandon the field to the left, fall back and regroup.

                                      It matters not one whit how adult you try to act. When you are being drug down and getting the crap beat out of you by hoards of nine year olds, you have no choice but to fight back in kind. Lieing in a bloody heap proud of your maturity while your society is given over to the nine year olds is hardly a solution.

                                        Defending not even close, just amazed at the indignation that Dems will heap on the Republicans while being just as nasty and intellectually dishonest. I don't think either party has the high ground here.

                                        I don't know what you are talking about. Indignant over "Waterboard Obama"? It's no skin off my nose. I'm more than happy to see McCain and the Republicans go down in flames with their self-destructive negative campaign.

                                        You can choose to believe that, of course, but most Americans seem to disagree with you.

                                          Assuming that all of your opponets are as childish as you are is a great way of being send to your room without supper.

                                          The dumbest thing you can do is fight back 'in kind.' Never, ever, let your opponent(s) determine the level of combat. If you decide that you need to fight, then you fight to win, using all necessary force - no more, and no less.

                                          Exactly the kind of imaginative defense a nine-year old would offer to excuse his behavior. I didn't buy it from my kids, and I'm certainly not going to get swept up in your fantasies, either.
