Want to see Freepers panic and argue? Check out these threads!
Edited on Mon Feb-09-04 03:20 PM by sgr2
These are just a few of dozens of threads, where the Repugs have begun attacking one another. It's a far cry from even just last December when they were patting each other on the backs talking about their fearless leaders invincibility.

My favorite post:

To: RunningJoke
Hey, RunningJoke--

You are fantastic! I want you in MY corner when Conservatives for Kerry-Edwards show the GOP for what it really is--a haven for the well-to-do country club set and those who hate conservatives--like Bush, Rove et al! For those of you who disagree or think we are crazy, I invite you to read the Sept. 16th edition (found at WND archives) of The Times of India article (about H-1B visas) in which Bush is quoted as saying some very uncomplimentary things about conservatives and about our hero, Rep. Tom Tancredo in particular. There are plenty of other actions that Bush has taken lately, in particular amnesty for federal lawbreakers, that directly caused his approval numbers to drop 10% (Independent conservatives were blamed for the drop, of course).

Bush & Co. (Rove) have proven beyond the shadow of a doubt that they are not to be trusted (Bush said he was for marriage being "between a man and a woman", but he has fudged on taking it to its logical conclusion--a Constitutional Amendment, the Farm Bill, etc.). I think also, my friend RunningJoke, that there is a real dislike for the Bush family in general, especially remembering what Daddy Bush didn't do in Gulf War I and what he DID do (decrying "Read my lips"). There is also the feeling among conservatives that Jeb Bush, who is very close with his brother, failed to protect Terri Schiavo from being murdered byu her husband in Florida, and how "woosie" the future presidnetial candidate Jeb Bush looked after all that (And he STILL can't figure out what to do with poor Ms. Schiavo!).

At some point in time, my dear friend RunningJoke, the plaid panted country clubbers driving their gold-plated SUVs will have to be MADE to realize (by losing a major election) that the Base or a goodly (or should I say, Godly?) percent of them are nom longer going to stand and hold their noses while "voting for the lesser of two evils". We were lied to by Bush and his supporters when they begged us for their votes in 2000. Do you realize that Bush hasn't vetoed a single bill put before him?

I have read the previous chats on this thread "berating" those of us who are pushing for a Third Party. The truth is, there isn't enough time to form one before the Election. So, that is why I said I am a "Conservative for Kerry"--because the GOP and conservatives in general can no longer afford a RINO in The White House. Until our OWN party is formed--and it WILL be formed my dear RunningJoke and fellow conservatives--the GOP must be taught the severest lesson possible--not to take its Base for granted! We're tired of being lied to, set up and having amnesty for illegals and homosexual marriage forced down our throats.

Bravo, RunningJoke!

1. Wow, what a great quote....
From the first link:

"And I also think it is a mistake to say the GOP is willing to sacrifice principles for politics. I would say their one principle IS politics, which they NEVER sacrifice."

Ain't that the truth?!?!?

Bizarre quote of the day
To: repentant_pundit
I tried it in flowery language. I tried it in campaign speak. I even tried it a "little edgy". It just didn't make it.
Ralph Nader will not be on the ballot this year. I think if he tried, the Democrats would have prevented him. They are petitioning the heavens to realign the stars. They are not leaving anything to chance.
This is reality, the ends ALWAYS justify the means. Petty fiefdoms of platitudes and vanity masquerading as principle, will only deliver this great nation to a president and a party whose only complaint with the deficit is they weren't the one's who ran it up. It's not much fun watching somebody else dally with a prostitute.
With discipline there can be victory. With solidarity there can be victory. So if need be, close your eyes and think of the national defense!

15. I liked this one...
The guy or gal might be a conservative but he or she is sharp....In response to some boobs whinning that Rethugs should not compalin about the President during an election year he or she said...."Yea that makes sense "it is OK for victims to criticize muggers except during a robbery"".

Pretty much applies on either side of the isle, I'd say.

2. My favorite

Whatever, she's doing a good job for the opposition.

That's because she hasn't accepted George as her personal president.

George loves us all.

And he has a plan for our lives.

We need only accept George, to bask in the bounty of his programs.

6. The thrid link was the BEST!
Pubs inside the Party planning a third party vote to defeat Bush! And their plan sounds good. "Only need a few thousand votes in a few key states."

Somehow we need to support those folks! They can do more for our cause than we ever could!!!!!

13. A Freeper against Breast Cancer Research...
How they love women.

(The case against allowing another Democratic President)

"Like in the last liberal administration hundreds of millions will leave the defense department for AIDS research, Breast Cancer Research and Medicare payments (circa 1993)."

16. Thanks This Is HILARIOUS And My Fave Line Is...
"Speaking as a "Drunken Sailor" with a lot of experience in that area, I resent being compared to these folks. At least when I was drunk, I spent my OWN money, not the public's.

Now if you want to make a comparison about unbridled spending, maybe you should compare him to Congress in an election year!!"

Hey waddya know...a Freep with a sense of humor! Sheesh they way that some of them were having such little tantrums over comments about the obviously disastrous nature of GWB's "Meet The Prez" debacle, omg!

He looked PRESIDENTIAL? That was the only defense they could drudge up. Maybe we should have third graders run for president then cuz his grammar was about at that level. IS OUR CHILDREN LEARNING?
