Pennsylvania Republican Primary

[Keystone Phil]

I can see plenty of non-Republicans have voted in this poll already.

By your definition this includes me, I assume.

As long as you're actually right on fiscal issues, no, it wouldn't include you even if you're wrong on social issues (and possibly foreign/military policy). 

[Keystone Phil]

Bullmoose, of course.

Moderate to liberal GOP hacks are some of the worst people in politics.

Really?  Two questions if I may. Is Bullmoose a hack in your mind, and is there such a think as non hack moderate to liberal Pubs?

...I was calling Oldies the hack. And of course there are non hack moderate to liberal Republicans. 

For the record, I really like bullmoose.

And in response to angus, I do not have a puritan diet. I don't eat a ton of junk but it isn't some super healthy diet. My exercise routine isn't extreme at all either but thanks for the compliments.

Not sure what you mean by making crop circles. Does that mean I'm a conspiracy theorist? Because I'd disagree with that.

Yeah, it was more or less a reference to some of your theories.  Just spewing nonsense, man.  Don't take it too much to heart.

Seriously, though, I think all three of you are sufficiently well-informed and gave good judgment and it would be a hard call.  Perhaps you will one day run for public office.  If you do, you would receive my full consideration.

I'm not taking any of it to heart. Just unfamiliar with these "theories" of mine. But if you meant you're just spewing nonsense, well, I can appreciate that.

The tone of that response is Exhibit A why I voted Bullmoose.

This place has become awfully sad when you can't even criticize Oldies for being horrible.

Phil. And I think he will run for an office in the future. Pennsylvania is becoming less democrat, so given his views, a typical neoconservative could do well in this state.

Typical necon? Yes, I'm more hawkish but I wouldn't say I'm typical necon at all.

Well, if I have correctly understood your views:
- you're both fiscally and socially conservative. Few of this forum are both, because most republicans are libertarian here! Though I don't think you're a member of the tea party, in a Toomey/Specter match up in 2004, I suppose you would have voted for Toomey. But I don't think you're obsessed with: "PRIMARY RINO OLOL". So conservative, but not a far right republican.
-you're interventionnist, I guess you would have voted for Iraq War and Syria and Libya intervention.

So,...

Yes, I'm proudly both fiscally and socially conservative. Of course I was Pro Toomey in 2004. Toomey is one of my political heroes and Specter...well...let's not get into that. 

I share the same basic principles of Tea Partiers but don't subscribe to some of their tactics and the conspiracy theories some of them have.

As you said, I'm not far right at all (contrary to popular belief) and while I agree I'm not "obsessed" with going after RINOs, I've absolutely supported many primary challenges but not because I'm a purist.

The issue here is that neocon seems to mean different things to each of us. When Americans hear that, they think of hyper interventionist/military policies. Again, I'm a hawk but I don't think that necessarily makes one a neocon.

I vote for Keystone Phil. He is an angry Italian soccer fan. Those soccer fans are so angry that even angry British soccer fans do not dare fight them.
