A few points about this article and what it misses.

1) The tone reminds me of Charles Barkelys’ hate filled tirade against conservatives, or, “phony Christians” as he calls them. The writer has a problem with people who have a problem with RINO’s (excuse the irony). Gee, it’s February, can’t you allow for a little steam blowing? I myself couldn’t see me, myself, filling in the oval next to McCains’ name a few weeks ago, but now I realize that we must vote for him AND every conservative down ticket so as to have someone around to hold his feet to the fire. Stop whining,others will come around just like us smart people.(If you’re so worried the “TCs” will scare away the moderates, who alone can save the GOP, shouldn’t you hold your tongue for fear of alienating those very same selfrighteous “TCs” ? Ironic, isn’t it?)

2) Was your “random look around conservative political forums” done mostly at gopusa.com ? Because I saw most of those exact quotes there.

3) Misrepresenting Rush (“Rush Limbaugh and the rest of the Talk Radio True Conservatives, who have basically yakked themselves into a corner with their demonization of Senator McCain as a “liberal, no different from Hillary!”") illustrates your contempt for the anti-countryclub set.

4) Suggesting the man who said (I heard this from his own mouth on Hugh Hewitt) John Kerrys’ lies,during the 2004 campaign, were small and incidental, while Ws’ lies were more severe and required much more scrutiny, is a victim of any kind of “purge” is absurd.(That was Helprin by the by.)

4.5) Lumping Ollie in with these others is insulting and reeks of a brand of categorizing you “J’accuse” your target of.

5) ME!?! A “RINO”!?! Wash your mouth with soap boy!(uh, girl?)

6) What does this article miss? Well, it didn’t hit anything accept for the fact that its sloppiness must owe to the authors apparent rush to make an early tee time.

Really now, sir or ma’am, if unity is what you seek, why pee such an insulting line in the winter snow when it just forces me to pinch my nose that much tighter? Let me relax now so I don’t have finger cramps come November.
