The False Myth of the 80% Conservative

So would you eat a slice of cake that had in its ingredients 20% dog shit?

[DJ MacWoW]

Hopefully some of the foolish will wakeup and look more closely at who's running.............and turn off the propaganda called nightly news.

It's also helpful to check if they've made the "right" enemies. However, that doesn't guarantee that they won't get sucked in to the good ole boys vortex.

[Leaning Right]

The democrats love these “activists” that sit on their hands while they keep putting their clowns in office.

Very well said. Perhaps we should add another rule to the mix: Do not do what the Democrats want you to do.

no amnesty

I am not suggesting amnesty but we’re not going to be sending 20,000,000 back. We’ve got to be real.

[jjotto]

Might as well legalize all sin, as we know we can’t stamp it out.

Democrats should send all those “activists” that sit on their hands “Thank You” letters.

80% of what I want is sure better than 0% (this would be Hussein Obama). I will admit that I would still never vote for a pro-abortion candidate. I will draw the line there.

80% of what I want still beats the hell out of 0%. Personally, I don’t believe I’ve ever met someone I agree with 100% of the time.

[jjotto]

Me either, which is why I won’t support any open-borders shill. Politicians claiming to be conservatives but supporting amnesty know they will NEVER have to deliver on their conservative promises. Other stands are negotiable.

Amnesty or anything remotely like it is a deal-breaker.

[Cvengr]

IMHO, the more fundamental problem is a population rejecting God. Conservatives who reject God are likely to accept any legalistic alternative to failed consequences.

I’ve started meeting more 30 year conservatives who take the position regarding totalitarianism, communism, and socialism as viable alternatives to democracy. Their attitude is “just get over it”.

[Monmouth78]

Total nonsense. We have deported millions before and we can do it again. Every other country in the world deports illegals. It’s only a matter of increasing the rate of deportations and making it harder to sneak across the border or overstay one’s visa.

If we give amnesty to the illegals who are here now, America is done.

ANYTHING LESS THAN DEPORTATION IS AMNESTY.

The Buckley Rule: Support the rightwardmost viable candidate

As we live in an imperfect world, only God being perfect, that's what I do. And I do it based on what I believe.

[nomad]

Screw that cr@p! I vote as I damn well please and whoever I damn well please and ALL the so called “leaders” can kiss my @ss. “Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.”

[discostu]

I could handle 80%, the problem with recent candidates is they’re 0%.

[smoothsailing]

It’s the same with me.

Another thing I do is never stay home and pout on election day because my perfect candidate is not on the ballot. To do so would be to dishonor all of those Americans who have fought to defend and preserve our liberty and our rights.

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all."- Ronald Reagan

[ansel12]

Romney cleaned up with Independents.

He not only lost to Jimmy Carter’s second term, he is the first candidate to win hugely with Independents, and lose the election.

[ansel12]

I will admit that I would still never vote for a pro-abortion candidate. I will draw the line there.

Mitt Romney returned to his pro-abortion position after winning the nomination, and came out against the party's pro-life platform, and ran pro-choice ads in Ohio, Virginia, and Wisconsin.

[Rides_A_Red_Horse]

A candidate need not be “perfect.” Loyalty to conservative ideals isn’t “perfect” and isn’t too damned much to ask.

[dfwgator]

Heck, I’d settle for “mediocre.”

[Moseley]

And who cares? The fact is that millions of conservatives WILL NOT follow your example.

While you are out doing that, millions of conservatives will be staying home -- NOT campaigning for a candidate who does not inspire them to donate their time -- mowing the lawn, painting the house, studying for a better job, fishing with their grandchildren, spending quality time with their wife or husband, pursuing a hobby or just watching TV.

No matter how strongly you may feel about what you said, what good does that do when millions of conservatives in the grassroots will NOT do as you do?

So the solution is for the GOP to run conservative candidates that make it worth people's trouble to give up their personal, private lives to campaign for the candidate.

What is the alternative? To pound your chest about what SHOULD happen -- BUT WILL NOT happen in reality.
