[Trapped Behind Enemy Lines]

I’m tired of all of this talk of Pyrrhic victories: If we win, we lose, in other words. Total BS if you ask me. The Dems, of course, never think and act that way. They fight to win EVERY election and so should we.

They fight to win EVERY election and so should we.

That's why I'm working on new conversions among minorities. They can replace the weepy "conservatives" who curl up in the fetal position in the mud at the bottom of a foxhole every time things don't go their way.

Exactly.

One war at a time. It is like WW2. We defeat Germany first(the Democrats). Then we go after Japan (the eGop).

Well said. Those in the GOP need to set aside their silly differences for a while and recognize that the enemy is the soft communist in the so-called “progressive” wing of the Democrat Party, which as far as I can tell, is about 95% of them.

That's because "we" are not all talking about the same "we" in every instance.

If the GOP wins, who wins? The GOP. The RINOs. But what about conservatives, do they win?

The GOP vs. Democrat party fight no longer embodies the conservative vs. liberal fight. Its more like the ultra liberals versus the mild liberals.

So if the GOP wins, the conservatives "win" in that we get the somewhat less liberal "mild liberals" rather than the ultra liberals.

But is that a "win" for the conservative movement, for people who really support conservative ideals?

Or does it empower the GOP to keep stuffing itself with mild liberal RINOs and claim its what their voters want? Does it give the GOP more of a mandate to squash those few conversative GOP candidates that they so love to step on?

I agree that the GOP consistently sabotages itself while the Dems fight to win at all costs. But that's because all the Dems care about is winning, staying in power and owning the government. They are all liberals, so when the Dems win, the liberals win, and when the Dems lose, the liberals lose.

Conservatives want to win to change things, fix things, peel back the ever-expanding government, and then go home. The GOP does NOT want this. The GOP does NOT want to shrink government. They want to get in power and stay in power. That's why they aren't really against Obamacare -- it expands the government, which the GOP will love once they can get in there and run it themselves. Conservatives just want it to go away.

The conservatives are frogs in the water pot, hoping the GOP wins so they only turn the heat up 2 or 3 notches, rather than the Dems who will crank it up 6 or 8 notches.

I agree.

As for this particular article, as soon as Rand Paul was favorably quoted, I quit reading.
