The Battle for the Conservative Soul

John Cole has some choice words for, believe it or not, a friend of mine from Red State:

[S]ince Leon wants to lecture me about making Republicans honest, how about he start with Red State? How about a few less front page posts to videos in which you pose as a question whether or not Harold Ford’s called someone a cracker? Sure, he didn’t really call anyone a cracker- but the truth isn’t really what matters at Red State. Winning is what matters, because, as they will tell you any time you listen- the Democrats are worse. Or how bout some more defenses of Rush Limbaugh attacking Michael J. Fox? Watch the video- he was just asking legitimate questions, right? Or how ‘bout some more links to videos of a talking fetus- pretending that is same thing as an embryonic stem cell would fall under honesty, right?

I am a partisan too in case you have not noticed. But like Cole, I like to think I can keep my integrity at the same time. Witness my criticism of Harold Ford's gay bashing.

    Conservatives Have No Soul (none / 0) (#1)

    Big Tent,
    I'm afraid that your search for a conservative soul will be fruitless.  They sold their souls to the devil when Bush signed the bill authorizing torture.

    John - they did. But, I think it was the radical fringe fanatics in the republican party who claim to speak for conservatives who did the selling, and the true conservatives are now called Democrats. And liberals, leftwingers, etc...

    Buckley would agree, I think.

    Smart, ambitious, and willing to do anything they have to do in order to reach their goals.

    They still have souls though
