That has nothing to do with these boogie men "true conservatives" not falling in line behind the GOP candidate, and how to best make them do so. I mean really, what is supposed to be your collective points here?

My point: quit referring to the self-proclaimed "true conservatives" as any sort of asset until they actually demonstrate that they are assets to anyone except the Democratic Party. They are nothing of the sort. Until they (a) realize that they are helping elect Democrats, and (b) that the Democrats are not supporting their issues, I am going to continue blasting them--assuming that they are sincere in their stated goals, which I am not entirely convinced of.

My experience, from several election campaigns, is that "true conservatives" will say anything to get into positions of trust in campaigns, and will then wreck the campaign at the 11th hour, all because the candidate is insufficiently pure. Hell, at one point, they did it to Bill Simon's campaign--and if Bill Simon isn't pure enough for them, nobody is.

If these self-proclaimed "true conservatives" spent their energy doing this to Democrats, this state would be a GOP lock. The fact that they spend their energy on clobbering the GOP makes me intensely suspicious.

Golly isn't that a profoundly loaded contradiction?

Lets play a word game shall we?

If these self-proclaimed "true Republicans" spent their energy doing this to Democrats, this state would be a GOP lock. The fact that they spend their energy on clobbering the "true conservatives" makes me intensely suspicious.

I agree, both of your a screw ups.
