TRUE conservatives will challenge those who support leftist ideals.  If it takes a slap across the face to get you to pay attention, so be it.  For me, its not my style.  For scales, its merely cracking the knuckles.

But lets talk about bad apples.

Do you think Snyder is a bad apple?  What about Specter when his time to stick it to Bork came about?  How about GW Bush giving away the philosophical high ground with TARP?  How about the majority of Michigan Republican congress critters who supported Obama's spending by approving the debt ceiling increase?

Don't bother to argue with me if you don't see it as I do on those.  My point is that if you are merely a tow-the-line Sycophantic Republican, then then any time we take our own to task for doing stupid things, you'll think 'bad apple'.  

If it is about language, then understand I DO have rules.  They are easy enough to understand.  Harold gets it .. now.  You bring something to the table, and you get to eat with the rest of us.  Sometimes its rough dinner talk, but its search engine clean.  And the taunts are not taunts for the sake of taunts either.  If you note when they are made, its a wake up for something said that is call-ably dumb.  

"Then when customers come by, they focus on the one bad apple and not all the good apples you're trying to sell."
