So You Disagree With Save The GOP…

Written by Mark Harris on December 5th, 2005

I felt that need to write this post with the increasing hostility that has flared up on some of the comment threads about candidates we support, people we choose to flame, etc. I want to point a few things out.

1. We’re not monolithic - Saying that our whole blog is wrong because what one of our bloggers wrote really makes zero sense. We add bloggers all the time, in fact, CRNC blogger alum Joe Biles, should be coming on any day now (::there was much rejoicing::), and there are few issues we all agree on, besides that the GOP needs to stand on its principles not political expediency.
2. Blogs are opinionated - We don’t claim to be objective nor totally authoritative. Rather we’re a bunch of folks who are involved in politics in one shape or another who want to share our oppinions and have them discussed. Flaming us as being schills for one candidate or another is stupid. If we were schills we wouldn’t allow comments. We want to hear your opinion.
3. Comments are for dissent not flaming (besides Alex where flaming is ok) - You don’t like an opinion one of us expresses, well then tell us in the comments thread. Build a logical case, show facts, polls, fundraising numbers, news stories, quotes, whatever and beat us in argumentation, but don’t try to build this grand conspiracy about Save The GOP working to undermine this person or that person or that we’re all tools of the DC establishment, etc. That neither helps your case, as anyone who knows us would know that’s ridiculous, but it also just stops true debate from occuring.

If I may one more time refer you to our “About” page, there you can read the vision and purpose of the blog.

    Great post, we probably disagree about as often as we agree, but we agree on the important stuff and disagree on the banal.

    Yeah, like the fact that Notre Dame has the worst football team in the nation.

    Langley I am going to get off of my ass, go downstairs and crush your face. Notre Dame is the best football team of all time and they will destroy OSU this Jan.
