Reply #16: Exactly right, the party has been hijacked

[Lenore]

By a bunch of evil, power hungry, lying and murderous zealots who used tragedy (911) to weave their practices and policies into the very fiber of our nation, all in the name of security. Often in the name of God. It is enough to make any intellectually honest Conservative sickened with anger and grief.

On a lighter note it also has had the effect of bringing the TRUE 'compassionate conservative' into better understanding with our 'democratic' counterpart. Heck 3 years ago I would have *never* thought I would *ever* be posting on DU, yet now, due to the extreme and dangerous turn my party has taken, this board and it's posters are a voice of sanity in a ever increasingly crazy world! (then again, I use discernment on which threads I frequent LOL)

The GOP should be very concerned about this trend, of us TRUE CHRISTIAN Conservatives realizing that EVIL has hijacked our party. So much so that some of us swung all the way from Keyes in 2000 to Kerry in 2004! That is a pretty huge leap indeed which for many of us seemed the right thing, indeed the only thing to do!
