Oh, get real. It's not the viewpoint, it's the constant thread jacking.

The intent is clearly to disrupt.
It would be soooo great to have someone here able to coherently express a conservative viewpoint. One can hope....

I agree. We seem to attract only the right wingers here. I have a dream that somewhere there are still conservatives who believe that a small government doesn't have to be a cruel government. Where did they go?

I'd settle for a right-winger who was able to demonstrate basic topic maintenance and at least occasionally argue their corner with some degree of effectiveness.

Forgive me for saying I'm not sure there is such a person.

Wasn't there some really bright kid, maybe 9 or so, doing the milquetoast talk show circuit because he'd memorized conservative talking points and could regurgitate them at the right times?

Opposites attract.

Nonsense - I have several conservative family members that are as smart as they come and can very competently offer their case and defend it. I know several other non family members that fit the description.
NONE of them are tea party types. Many of them voted for Clinton and some voted for Obama.
All of them are also very successful busy people that would never take the time to read and participate in this forum. It's a waste of time. The personality types that choose to involve themselves in a forum like this is very specific and limited.
Every one of us here is an oddball in the larger scope of things...

Read it again, hal.
Black: I'd settle for a right-winger who was able to demonstrate basic topic maintenance and at least occasionally argue their corner with some degree of effectiveness.
Me: Forgive me for saying I'm not sure there is such a person.
Which has NOTHING to do with "conservative" or "non tea party types".
Do you know what "right winger" means?
Come on!
