Now, you claim that "...I forgive you on the typos. Now, you claim that "Conservatives believe, but they believe in things that aren't true." What is it that someone like myself believes that is not true? <BR/><BR/>You are not allowed to clump Bush and company with me. If there is a true conservative in Washington, I haven't yet seen it. Thus, one could argue that the reason the Republicans are close to losing power to the Democrats is that they too have lost their core values. The American people figures, well, the Republicans didn't fix it, let's give the Democrats a shot. The pendulum will swing back again; it always does.<BR/><BR/>I'm not going to lose a lot of sleep if the Democrats do win. They are simply slightly more liberal, slightly more lost, Republicans.A Wiser Man Than Ihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02405864709965908573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10835776.post-1121268192086514192005-07-13T11:23:00.000-04:002005-07-13T11:23:00.000-04:00Lousy typos...Lousy typos...Barba Rojahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04728768739652636135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10835776.post-1121261458760441512005-07-13T09:30:00.000-04:002005-07-13T09:30:00.000-04:00Barack Obama is midlly liberal; if it were up to m...Barack Obama is midlly liberal; if it were up to me, Russ Fiengold is the one who really stands for the party's values.<BR/><BR/>plenty of Democrats believe, WM. They just don't think they ought to force others too. That's the difference between the parties. <BR/><BR/>Conservatives believe, but they believe in things that aren't true. Is that better than having doubts?<BR/><BR/>BTW, the Democrats were 2 points behind in the last presidential election and are 5 seats away from the sneate and 12 away from the House. That's pretty damn close, if you ask me. They just need a little more direction to push themsleves over the top.Barba Rojahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04728768739652636135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10835776.post-1121197633513434182005-07-12T15:47:00.000-04:002005-07-12T15:47:00.000-04:00You and I have a theological basis for our beliefs...You and I have a theological basis for our beliefs. Selective Democrats may believe in God, but the party is certainly not founded on a Christian philosophy, and to a large extent this replies to the Republican party as well.<BR/><BR/>It would be funny that they can't figure this out except that they are deemed a credible political party. To say they are thrashing deparately is to insult the drowning man.A Wiser Man Than Ihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02405864709965908573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10835776.post-1121189155531898772005-07-12T13:25:00.000-04:002005-07-12T13:25:00.000-04:00Hmmmm...someone's been checking the Drudge Report ...Hmmmm...someone's been checking the Drudge Report lately...lol (me too; I read those same two articles)<BR/><BR/>What I think is particularly funny is that the Democrats have to "figure out" their core values. They have meetings and conferences to decide what they believe. Shouldn't they simply <I>know</I> what they believe?<BR/><BR/>Conservatives know what they believe--or at least I do. I don't have to confer with anyone else necessarily before I can articulate my core beliefs. If I may quote the subtitle of my blog: "The truths I believe in and stand for are founded in a God bigger than this world. Regardless of my stumblings in word or deed, His truth remains unmatched, undefeated and ever eternal."Sethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14007313379469482887noreply@blogger.com
