Your opening statement:

    I know republicans better than anyone on this site.

Goobster came back with my Republican credentials-of-suffering tower over yours.

You came back with

    When in your life have you believed personally that you had divine right to impose the law of the Bible on your fellow man?

Therefore, "no true republican" doesn't "believe personally that they have divine right to impose the law of the Bible on their fellow man."

Goobster's argument is that your perception of "Republican" is "fundies like I grew up with" based on your n of 1 whereas his perception of "Republican" is based on policy, lobbying and fundraising.

Your counterargument is, effectively, if you are not a fundamentalist you are not a Republican.

Which is nonsense.
