Olivia,
I would applaude you for recognizing that the "republican party does have some members that try to hold the line."
It's a start!
I would then opine that "trying to pretend" that there aren't any wayward Republicans has never been a problem around here.
But I can't.
Because the last thing you wrote to me was an admonition to never address you again, as you didn't care about anything I said.
Oh right! I forgot about that in my zeal for posting & wasn't paying attention to whom I was addressing. Just disregard anything I said and wipe it from your mind. In ten years, you won't even remember it happened.

It should be growing and it's not.
This is a CLOSED forum. Just exactly how would a site no one knows about, except the invited few, know to join up?
ZitatI'm sure some here blame me for the caustic, fight-fire-with-fire, tactics I adopted after I got fed-up with all the mindless, defeatist, negativity and GOP bashing.
But, I contend that the real problem lies in the oppressive and pervasive, Debbie Downer, attack-the-GOP-first, mentality, not my reaction to it.
No. The real problem here is with sanctimonious losers who have a grand total of less than 400 post, most of which are thread hijacks and whining like a spoiled child about peoples opinions here, not posting anything of value or having the mental capacity to actually defend these proven GOP failures.
Calling the party out for incompetence and timidity is nothing new. Reagan did it in the 70's, Gingrich did it in the 90's and the Tea Party did it in 2010 to great success. If no one ever did and became mind numb idiots like you, we would still have Rockefeller Repubs running the place and the party would be on the ash heap of history.
And before your intellectually lazy ass calls me some sort of troll or interloper, just look at how I spent my time posting at TBL. I was by far the biggest knuckle brawler with the leftist defending Romney and the GOP candidates and positions. I don't recall seeing you on any of those threads fighting and defending where it counted, or anywhere there for that matter, which makes you a nobody and a sniveling harpy.

Bush is the second most conservative President we've had in any of our lifetimes.....). And you'll see by his last post here that he backs up Cedric's point that he's extreme.
At first I recoiled at the idea that nerd was here as a troll to divide conservatives, but the more he posts the less sure I am that that's his goal, and that he doesn't hate Republicans far more than he hates Democrats.
His posts indicate that his real enemy is the Republican Party and not the Marxist enemy.
Interesting. I didn't take it that way, Musiclady. I see nerd as a libertarian-leaning conservative type. I could be dead wrong. Nerd - you want to weigh in?
There are a lot of conservatives and liberty-loving people who are very, very unhappy with the Republican establishment, and particularly the anti-TeaParty Rovian group.
But, nerd is the only one who can really tell us where he's coming from.
Been away, but I think this is as funny as all get out. Some people seem to tnink everthing posted is directed at one person. Sort of hyper thin skin. But in the whole thread there was one big lie posted.
The GOP has not defeated any gun laws yet. No votes have been taken. That miserable pos reed, only has taken steps to save the democrat senators from red states. And whether the gop caves on background checks is still a big question.
And Rove who has a misersble loser record of 97% is trying to make you all into democrat lites. First you take out the conservatives, and then the religious right, then those that support the constitution and the rule of law. What you have left is a bunch of money grubbiing political advisors that think a bank account is more important than principle and people. Let's drive those people that did not vote for mitt out of the party, whoever they are and you will never win another election and as long is cedric is alive hugo will live on..
I am not a republican I am a conservative, and supporter of the rule of law. And refuse to support any of Roves dopes.

Your Honor, I rest my case.
You have no case only childishly silly statements and Frank has proved that many, many times. Now back to democrate lite with you it seems to be working well mr moola.

And "him" called Cedric a "Tokyo-Rove boot licker".
Ah, but Cedric is strong-minded and self-confident (also amazingly handsome) and, therefore, never felt compelled to go running to the Mods about it.
You're not strong minded and self-confident. You see demoralization behind every post that doesn't rally around the GOP.
Orthodoxy SUCKS.

So, that leaves "amazingly handsome".

The corrosive effect is measured not by how many people with thick skin have overcome or ignored it, but by how many people are no longer here because of it.
This is a great point, Cedric.
When nerd attacked me with dishonest insults, I wasn't personally offended. I too, after years online, have thick skin.
But how many people (we're not the only Republicans who signed on here) are no longer posting, or posting less because of the endless Republican hating rhetoric, the sweeping generalizations, the insults, personal or not, and the diversion of blame from the Democrats to the Republicans, that goes on here.
I'm as open to discussion as anyone and love a little bit of verbal fisticuffs, but when nearly every thread where the subject is LEFTIST malevolence is turned into a GOP bash, there is a problem.
And I'm saying it outright.......
RR now has a problem.
No! Rights Right does not have a problem but you're trying your best to give it one. All posters on a forum have different personalities and different opinions about the same topic. You, on the other hand, will outright "dog" a person on here if you take a personal dislike to them. Then you expect the management to agree with you and not the person you're trying your damnest to run off.
I'm not a republican either and I didn't know it was mandatory to belong here. I am also disgusted with republicans and their constant need for approval from the democrats. The group we have now is just as invested in their personal stake as the democrats and if I want to criticize them I'll do it. We weren't told we needed your approval as to what to say on here so someone can correct me if I'm wrong and I'll move on myself.
You should be ashamed of yourself for the way you try to turn this entire board against one poster that doesn't meet your personal criteria. Sheesh!

No one has 'turned on' nerd. It's not 'truth' in the message that he's bringing, but rather the one-sided lack of it and his inability to discuss things rationally.
He's done this to himself, algernon with his insulting, mocking, mindless bashing style.
Cedric calls him a troll.
I don't pay that much attention to nerd. If he says something that leaves me like this , which is frequently, I just move along. I don't feel that I have to prove to him that I'm right and he's wrong. Sometimes he cracks me up. Other times he confuses me. I'm not that invested in him, really.
Nor am I.
I just like intellectual honesty.
And I most certainly haven't 'turned' on him.
But I think a good case could be made that he's 'turned' on me.
However, there's no need to make it because I'm not that invested in him....
Again..........intellectual honesty, and factual accuracy and less thread hijacking are my only concern.
