Poor Tumpy... I guess he ain't the great negotiator after all... And it's everybody else's fault.

Whatever makes you feel better.

But my point was apparent and should be pretty easy to grasp. They can rationalize it all they want but it wouldn't matter who the candidate is the inside the beltway crowd will reject him/her if they aren't a member of their cabal. That goes for both parties.

It IS easy to grasp = He was hoisted on his own petard, which is a particularly pointed description, as a 'petard' is a bag of hot gas.

Indirectly, you are right - Not paying much attention to the idiocy going on in 'conservative' news and talk radio has given me time to spend on more meaningful pursuits where actual Conservatism still matters.

Denigrating a President on TBR 24/7 is an actual Conservative pursuit? Shit then. Looks like Rachael Maddow is the new Bill Buckley.

Funny how "Conservatism" means your own personal beliefs these days, whatever they are, rather than any set of beliefs and generally agreed upon behaviors and goals.

IE: "We disagree, so I'm a Conservative and You're just FOS."

Conservatism is a concise set of principles across four major factions. Just as it has always been.
I agree with, and have supported ALL of those principles on the record, with nearly 20 years of record to back that up.

That is not 'personal beliefs'. That is actual Conservatism.

No thanks!  I know that there is not one follower of Joseph Smith in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints Day Saints.  Not a single one so the headline is enough for me.

Well you're a better man than me. If someone was denigrating the Rosicrucian like that I would be on them like stink.

Nope! That's exactly what the guy who posted this wants and I'm not about to give it to him.

Just so you know, I can't stand Mitt Romney even though we happen to be members of the same Church.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

That's the stupidest thing I read all day and I read 2 Pelosi quotes and 3 Occasional-Cortez quotes. There is no other reason in the world why someone would post that article except to slam the hell out of Mormons FR style.
