Those are great points.
I just hope the winners of last night encourage us to have the courage of our convictions and not just accept candidates who check off all the right boxes, who “think like we do,” and think enough of ourselves to hold out for quality. Look at the conservatives who won last night—not a scary blowhard among them. Rubio is utterly inspiring. O’Donnell wouldn’t have been capable of that speech.
We have to knock off the mewling anti-intellectual stuff that leads us to support people mostly because MSNBC doesn’t like them. We have to have more vigorous primaries and not react to the left.
When we put out conservatives who don’t just talk the talk but have records and lives reflective of conservative values, we win. When we demean our own standards and support pathetic, unworthy candidates, we look childish.
Agree. I think both Marco Rubio and Rand Paul are two rising stars in the conservative wing of the GOP.
