Sure let's break it down!
Should be fun.
See you're here, the "voice of reason". No no, don't you silly hyper-partisans, don't you turn this into some sort of witch hunt. Leave it to the Professionals. Never mind that such would require Eric Holder to step up... or the Judiciary Committee to step up. Or the Media to discuss the issue.
No no, Zyphlin won't be a party so such "partisan" non-sense.
Sorry, which conservative principle am I not upholding here.....?
Ahh yes, you covered both the Clinton and Bush scandals. Making sure no one would confuse you with those Conservatives who backed the Clinton Impeachment. You're beyond such petty things and witch hunts over sexual interactions between consenting adults.
Actually, check my prior posts. I approve of the Clinton Impeachment. I disapprove of the non-stop political grand standing about it and the constant focus on it after the fact along with the major focus on it by Republicans while an investigation was on going and we had no definite facts yet and they were just going on assumptions.
Also, which principle of conservatism was I breaking here again?
And just to make sure you are well and truly seen as not a partisan Conservative, you're hedging your bets that this will be a wild goose chase and you'll be ready to say "See, I told you it would be BS"
No, I'm being a responsible adult and not making wild accusations and judgements as if I know the absolutely truth adn facts on something that's an ongoing investigation. Which principle of conservatism was I breaking here again?
Oh and you are also positioned to say "See, I told you to wait for the experts to handle things..." just in case it IS something. Amazing!
I like the pop on the end, "both sides". Just to ensure no one could even remotely accuse you of being "partisan".
Nope, I'm happy to admit, I'm a partisan conservative.
I'm not a hyper partisan conservative. I'm not one that forgoes my principles because it helps my side. I'm not one that uses my principles only when they would benefit me or my side. I don't view everything as us vs them in all cases. But I'm definitely a partisan conservative, as I very much fall firmly on the right on almost all issues.
But again, what conservative principle am I not upholding here?
You are the type of Conservative that is ASHAMED of anyone that takes a solid stance, you want to be liked, you want to be seen as someone that is willing to "stand up" to those crazy fools on the right... no no, you're a "good Conservative".
Nope, I'm happy to take a solid stance, I just don't watn to take it on unsteady ground and I'm not going to take that stance based off whether or not a (R) or a (D) is next to the name.
I don't give a **** about being liked. Look for me in any Patriot Act thread and tell me that I'm trying to be "liked" as I have libertarians, republicans, and democrats all hating my stance on it.
You're right, I do like to stand up to those on the right that are going against conservative principles, such as personal responsability and principled values, because I feel they do damage to the movement. I argue with them when they push things that are not what I feel is conservative in nature. Know why? Because I'm not a hyper partisan and give them a pass when they do stuff that goes against my principles just because they have an (R). You try and suggest that I do it because I want to "stand up to the right", while in reality I'm standing up for my principles regardless of the side...cause if they were a (D) saying it I'd likely say it the same way. Though I admit, at times it is more annoying seeing it on people from "my side" because like your jackass friend that gets wasted and starts mooning the club, being in the same group as people like that cause you to be looked down upon on first glance. That's bad not because I want to be "liked", its bad because I want CONSERVATISM to be liked and embraced and hyper partisans acting foolish cause the opposite to happen.
Oh, and please, what conservative principle did the above quote of yours point out that I don't uphold?
I see a lot of bitching about me not supporting the party and its zealots mindlessly at all times; what I didn't see is how anything I said violated any form of conservative ideology that would make me a "bad conservative".
