But a good, reliable, well-written summary by a knowledgable source will include all the important details too. It's just a matter of writing it in plain language instead of legalese.Originally Posted by Charles Martel
Sure. Just saying you don't need to read the bill word for word to really understand it.If yer touting this plan and claiming it will reduce costs and save hundreds of billions....I believe the accountability bone and onus remain on those in favor.
I wrote an article on my site about the purity. I haven't had a chance to go through all the posts in this thread, but my opinion on it is this:
If they do it, it will create a war between the different factions of the party. If you are a moderate Republican who believes in small government, low taxes, and states rights for things such as gay marriage and abortion, and have a different approach to immigration, you can't be a Republican. That's dangerous for the party.
Wow, somebody gets it.
Thanks a lot, Misterman. I'll have to read through the comments on this some more to see your stance.
If not for one bad word that election would've almost unquestionably went to Allen.
Yeah, it led to other things, it snow balled, but that's the thing that started the ball rolling.
You remove Macaca and Allen would've had that race without question
Those who give up essential liberty for a little temporary safety deserve neither. However if you're giving it up to get a a bunch of free stuff then that's cool.
This is true.
If a frog had wings he wouldn't bump his ass a-hoppin'.
Indeed. Searching for purity is the mark of a facist. This is what droves the Nazis to murder 20 million people during WWII.
This concept has no place in modern politics.
I love it. They're forcing the growth of a third party. Perfect.
In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is freedom, in water there is bacteria.
Now, afore we go outright dismissing....and I certainly cannot support a purity resolution or 'bar' if you will....the Party does need to defend itself. As a viscious salivating right wing radical Conservative neocon and I mean...I am to the right of Genghis Khan on many issues...the Party does need to remain the beacon.
Fellow Repubs...there have been populist movements, party struggles, the neocons, the religious right, the fiscal conservatives, the Constitutionalists, the 'moderates', the pro-lifers, the tea-baggers, the birthers, those hating the Democrats, 'independents', military personnel and retired, government workers, union workers, private sector workers, farmers, civil services, anyone from any walk of life, we cut our teeth WITHIN the PARTY structure. We nominate and send up candidates AS A PARTY. While purity cannot be waged, once we nominate a candidate..he or she IS THE CANDIDATE. Your vote...even though it may not be your ideal candidate...as a Republican you MUST vote for this Candidate.
The elections are too close. You cannot write in, you must not have dreams or aspirations of a third party, the Republican Party is where your teeth are cut, the Party is where your energy is focused. We cannot win with fractured groups of we're right and you're wrongs, we must cut our teeth as a Party. Realize all elections are local, refocus on Party platform, and start sending capable and honest men and women to the f'n Congress without concerning yourself with his or her particular vote.
The issue of abortion a primary example. I have many conservative family members, if the candidate is pro-choice, they don't warrant their vote. I have Republican friends who sat home and didn't vote giving up on the Republicans, capitulating and now complaining as Barack's inexperience and clownishness reveals itself.
Get with the program, People. It ain't about you, it ain't about me, it ain't about individual, we cut our teeth in the basement, your candidates emerge, the infighting below is dominated by the Conservatives..or the faithful...or the fiscally conservative...or the pro-lifers...whoever comes out of the slaughter carrying the flag......that's who we support. That's our man or woman.
The purity idea way wrong however, the loyalty factor we need to to remind ourselves of every once in awhile. Get involved with politics locally and statewide, give a few bucks to the person you believe best suited but once the game starts....our sidelines CANNOT be divided.
It was the Austrasians, that hewed on bravely through the thick of the fight, it was they who found and cut down the Saracen King.
