Amen. I’m tired of non Carolinians telling us how to vote as though they don’t have their own mess and most of them worse than us! Sanford will vote conservative.
damn right, the south spoke , SC spoke and why some are not happy begs me to question why .
Would they rather have seen an Obama voter and fan to win and see us lose more traction and would they rather see the left harping on how they won this state and a conservative state.
Well done SC from a conservative here in north east FL
In many ways, I understand accept your point. However, those conservatives still in blue states (like me in CA) are indeed actually conservative, and not squishy one bit. We're just swamped by the enemy, despite our best efforts to organize and educate.
In my defense, remember that embarrassing acts like Sanford's mistakes, or that dingbat Akin, impact the races in "purple" states. And when we don't win purple states, we lose even more ground in the blue states.
Of course I welcome any and all conservative votes. But I also recognize that Sanford's many episodes of flakiness - especially is in a professional capacity (dereliction of duty, lying to the citizens, allegations of not obeying court orders) - makes him a risk. He's a risk worth taking today to keep the communists out, but we - meaning all conservatives - can do better.
One last point: polls are showing that Americans don't like Democrat's ideology, but also reject Republican competency. Conservatives can help ourselves NATIONWIDE by presenting incredibly competent candidates.
Sanford asked for forgiveness from the SC-1 voters and got it. Congrats to him... and he’ll be a staunch conservative.
Good point!
