Many of you are speaking theoretically about elections, as if a given set of principles are the only correct ones to use at all times. I am speaking about one particular election, the last one, when I say that conservatives should have held their noses and gone out to vote for the admittedly awful candidate, who was nevertheless less awful than the media creation he ran against.

Conservatives need to guard against reactionary emoting instead of looking at the reality on the ground and being ready to respond to the horror that lies before us as need be (and one hopes by divine direction), not according to some preconceived poly-sci formula. That was (and is) Rove's approach; and I agree, it did not work and will not work. He needs to SDSU.

Further, I have been speaking about what conservatives must do now that the conservative side is down for the count, while many of you keep bringing up the past. The past is over; since our nation has never, ever been in our current situation before, examples from the past cannot foretell all that must be done now.

If that is the case, why would I listen to a strategy that has failed almost universally, that of voting for the lessor of two evils?

Why would I listen to that suggestion when all it has ever gotten us is to move the party further and further to the left?

Do you really think we (conservatives) are that stupid or gullible to keep falling for this GOP-E trick?
