A Shattering Discovery

UPDATE: Read the comments. Debonair Dude thinks the way I use quotations HTML linked to his original posts might be confusing or misleading, so I won't do it anymore, but I didn't change this since I don't want it to seem like I'm trying to hide the way I did it or make his comment not make sense. If he tells me he wants it deleted I'll be happy to do so.

Debonair Dude is a bit annoyed at his fellow conservatives.

Look I don’t know if its me that is not making my point clearly enough, or those people that tend to listen with cotton stuffed in their ears?But I’ll have ONE MORE shot at it. Then you can call me a “Rino” a “Hippo” or what ever other STUPID cliche that you wish to.

Logically he seems to have a point:

2. All of the above have dropped out...ALL OF THEM!

3. The only choice we have now, Or should I say that I have now is to

a. Support the party’s choice who is John McCain.

b. Vote for the 2 Libs, Hillary or Obama ( and that choice will never happen.


But why is he using logic all the sudden? Conservatism is about wanting huge deployments and tax cuts too. It's about not trusting our government to make sure all Americans have health care, but saying it can rebuild Iraqi healthcare - and the rest of Iraq too. It's about saying that industial policy can't work because it violates the laws of the free market, and complaining about the unfair advantage of China with it's government supported industries. It's about being unable to give up any tiny sliver of pork, but cutting taxes to force someone to cut pork in the future.

I think he should endorse Fred Thompson. When I first heard an actor was in the race, I thought we were doomed. He could use all his acting skills to convince the religious right he was one of them, and promise his soul to the rich corporate donors. He would have been Ronald Reagan except the trial lawyers would have loved him too. It turned out he didn't have fire in the belly. If the Republicans had been smart enough to feed him lots of beans and make him bend over, then light a match behind his buttocks, they would have seen plenty of fire, and they could have won the election.

Debonair Dude will probably want to say nobody reads this blog. It just so happens I got e-mail from nobody@hotmail.com who said he was getting bored with my blog and wanted to do something more interesting, such as watching the grass grow, so there goes that argument. I may be dumb, I may even be dumber, but I'm not trying to reason with a bunch of Republicans calling "Rino Rino!"

That's the last thing you hear before the herd stampedes and tramples everything in their path.

You have proven here you do not understand conservatism at all, if you did perhaps you would be grateful for those of us trying to purge the Republican party of RINOs.

(I surely hope you approve my comment for publication!)

In reference to DD2 aka Debonair Dude and his recent blog...
Why is he using logic all the sudden? After all he is a Republican, he is supposed to be stupid, and a racist and he is supposed to be a rich, anti his fellow humon and pro big business!
Where have I gone wrong?
Why is a Republican acting smart?
Maybe I was wrong all this time and it's us Liberals that are the FOOLS' after all look at the Morons we have left running for President in our party.
Two dumb anti American lying, back stabbing, vicious Commies!
Humm

Beth, Go ahead and give credence to this Miserable Lib. You must really hate McCain to do that.

I am doing no such thing DD2, I am merely questioning Mr Weisman's premise about conservatism.

MORE IMPORTANTLY, WHY HAS SOMEONE USED MY NAME ETC. TO POST THESE TWO POSTS ?
THEY WERE NOT POSTED BY ME.
AS I TYPE, I AM CALLING THE BLOGISPHERE POLICE AND REPORTING THIS CRIME, (FELONY). A FELONY IS THE TERM FOR VERY SERIOUS CRIME.

YOU MUST KNOW THAT THE DEBONAIR DUDE IS NOT SOME ONE TO MESS AROUND WITH. IF YOU DIDN’T KNOW THAT, YOU ARE GOING TO LEARN IT .

Are you referring to the two comments posted in your name above the one you just posted - or my original entry? I'm not certain, but in case it's my original entry:

1) Since you object to me quoting you that way I won't do it any more, but you'll observe both my quotes are links to your original post on your blog, to make it clear I'm quoting you.

2) You read this post originally (unless someone posted comments in your name) and you objected to what I wrote, but not my fashion of quoting you.

3) I often use html linked quotes that link to an original post so people can judge for themselves if I've taken something out of context, so it would not mislead a reader into thinking you had posted on my blog.
