Ye gads, that's what keeps the Republicans from winning more elections.  You drive away the people who don't believe exactly like you.  I think some of you would have liked goose-stepping along with Hitler in '38 and '39.

You know nothing about people who vote Republican but who aren't the narrow minded conservatives that you are and seem to hang out with.

Keep it up and watch the election and the nation continue it's pathway down the tubes.

I wonder if some of you were bullies in your youth?

You got everyone of those things wrong.  Typical tunnel-visioned conservatives.

Huh?  ???

Where did that come from?
I merely pointed out that Tea party is inline with true Rep ideals, nothing more.

Do even know what the Tea party is?

Of course I know what the Tea Party is.  Do you want to be sarcastic or do you want to discuss where my partly tirade "came from"?

You need to relax, no one here is being sarcastic, or attacking you.
We just think you are a bit confused as to what a RINO is, and the Tea party is holding to true Republican ideals, nothing more.

Crepe05, why are you going out of your way to act insulted or attacked by us despite our best efforts to the contrary. No one here is trying to pick a fight except you. No one here sees where your positions make you a RINO except you.

I'm starting to wonder if you're just messing with us for the fun of it. Because this just doesn't make a lick of sense.  ???

Nope, not messing with you.  I'm just tired of hearing the "true conservatives" knock people within their party who really will vote for them.  I just don't get it.  Face it.  "True conservatives" need other Republicans to vote for them just as other Republicans need "true conservatives" to vote for them against the dems.  I'm tired of hearing so much about the evil RINOs.  I've been called a RINO, not on this board.  I really don't care if anyone here thinks I'm a conservative (true or not) or a Rino or even a dem.  It just doesn't serve our party (the Republican one) to have so much name calling within the party.  Instead of doing that, "true conservatives" should try to convince the voters to vote for them, not try to drive people out of the party.  It just doesn't make sense and it does remind me so much of the Hitler regime and wanting "purity".  I go nutso with that kind of talk.  There has to be room for all of us in the party or the party will go nowhere.

I really don't care at this point what a RINO is in the eyes of the "true conservative".  I care about how they (the true conservative), plans to get people to vote for the Republican candidate, or is it another election that goes to the dems.  Focus on getting out the vote, not purging the durned party.  Argh!

We don't care what you believe. You can be a RINO, a conservative or a liberal. You can be an independent, an anarchist or you can even support Ron Paul. Heck me and Solar were just saying we wished we had more liberals on this site. Differences are what make these things fun. Having a bunch of people who all agree with you sitting around saying "yup" would be boring.

But here is my problem Crepe05.

1. You haven't articulated any positions where you differ materially from conservatives. So it's hard to see where you disagree with us on issues.
2. You go out of your way again and again and again and again to say that conservatives aren't nice enough to RINOs, yet you haven't answered a single assertion on my part or on Solar's that RINOs are the ones attacking conservatives. When a RINO attacks a conservative or fails to support them, that doesn't seem to bother you. I don't know why.
3. You claim we don't go after Democrats. Really? All I can imagine is that you don't read the newspapers, listen to the radio or watch TV. Otherwise your comments just don't make much sense.

Crepe05, our problem isn't with your beliefs. It's with your poorly constructed arguments that make it hard for us to tell what you believe and what is actually bothering you.

I agree totally Dan, and let me expand on your questions.

Crepe, can you give an example of a RINO that you feel is being maligned, that you agree with.
Like say when McCain agreed with the global warming crap, or something along those lines.

It's like she supports the Republicans who agree with her stated beliefs and rather intensely dislikes those who support her stated beliefs.

She is either very confused or a joker who didn't do a good job of setting up their fake persona.
