Pardon me for coming out of right field with this analogy but I would argue that the seemingly rational thing to do if you were a soldier under Hitler would’ve been to follow his orders, no matter how deranged. If you didn’t, you died. What could be more rational? Well, the rational path you advocate is rapidly causing the spiritual, and arguably, the economic death, of this country. Like I said before, we are the proverbial turtle in the warming water.Compromise is always in the wrong direction. Death is certain under this plan. It’s just a matter of time. I wouldn’t bet the farm that a saving, conservative revival takes place anytime soon, but I’m certain that it will not happen as long as we keep electing men like Scott Brown and send no message that we have had enough with milquetoast candidates.
Well, so far MA has a reputation for electing men like Elizabeth Warren and John Kerry. Brown’s an improvement. Which direction would be better for future MA elections.
PS
The candidate has to win.
