Suit yourself, OS.
Remember the original question.
“If the 2016 Republican Primary was held today (assuming We the Conservatives don’t form a third party out of disgust), who would you like to see as the nominee to face Hitlery Clinton ?”
My choices were West, Walker, Perry, in that order.
Any one of those three would be far superior to Clinton and most certainly an exponential improvement over what we have today.
Keep in mind that the question was about a choice of a president, not a Supreme Being.
Who would you choose, OS?
Okay, in keeping on point, let me restate The FReeper’s Definition of Conservative: “I’m not sure, but whatever it is, it sure as hell ain’t YOU!!!”
In the eyes of certain FReepers, Reagan was a RINO - he cut and ran from Lebanon, gave amnesty to illegals, and raised taxes. In their eyes, HE’S JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
In the eyes of certain FReepers, Jesus Christ was a RINO - He befriended and forgave tax collectors, advised people to pay their taxes to the government, and consorted with known prostitutes. In their eyes, HE’S JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
Which begs the question, why did we end up with Bishop Willard from Planet Kolob as the GOPe nominee? Because in the case of every conservative candidate, the cry went out: YOUR GUY’S JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
It doesn’t matter who we put forth as a candidate. The conservative movement has been shattered beyond redemption or repair. We will not see a uniting force on the Right again in our lifetime.
