We have to face the fact that the demographics in this country have changed forever. A true conservative -— our point of view -— is a minority position. I don’t like it, but it is the way it is. Romney had more chance of winning than a true conservative, and we even lost with him. There are more takers than producers, and they will not vote themselves out of benefits. In the next two years, we will see many more California cities going bankrupt. And cities across the country.
“Pretty soon, you run out of other peoples money.”
While demographics may have changed I do not buy that Conservatives can no longer win. I do, however, subscribe to the belief that Conservatives who are also idiots can not win. If you insist on making inflamatory (and in Akin’s case idiodic) statements then you need to be prepared to be beat on the head with them. A smart politician understands not only his values, but how to effectively sell those values to a broad and diverse electorate. Akin may be a wonderful Conservative Christian, but he was one terrible candidate. It really is as simple as that in my opinion.
