No Lindsey Graham, the Republican party will not win through liberalism

If it weren't for being a hawk on foreign affairs, Lindsey Graham would not be considered a Republican. His Republican Establishment rhetoric of a kinder, gentler Presidential candidate didn’t work with Mitt Romney, John McCain, or Bob Dole. It won’t work in 2016, either.

This is a warning to both conservative and moderate Republicans. Do not listen to the things being espoused by Graham or anyone else who promotes liberal ideals in an effort to appeal to the general electorate. It has been demonstrated over and over again that the Republican party is stronger when the leader is stronger, that the elections can only be won by a principled conservative platform.

Some may argue that George W. Bush won twice without being a true conservative, but they forget that his two terms were not representative of his campaign platforms. He may not have acted as a fiscal conservative, but he ran as one. He was conservative with foreign policy and the American people kept him in office despite not being a particularly popular President. They did this because his platform was solid even if his actions were not.

President Harry Truman said, “I may not get elected running as a Democrat, but I surely won’t get elected if I run as a Republican.” This holds true today for Republicans. You can’t claim to be one thing and run as something else.*

*Unless you’re Barak Obama who ran as everything for everybody and nobody said, “Hey, these things aren’t consistent!”

Graham and McCain make me cringe. Almost always liberals, they periodically try to look “conservative” by acting like fascists. In their twisted minds, I think they equate conservatism (as well as any other opposition to radical leftism) with fascism, much like Democrats at least pretend to do.

So on one hand they fully support socialist-liberal social programs, but then “to balance things”, they support vicious and unnecessary espionage and authoritarianism against Americans.

They want open borders and endless immigration, then, “to balance things” they want to just butcher the families of our enemies overseas. Drop Napalm on them then shoot their burning bodies.

Seriously, those offensive looney tune senators are as irritating as clinical split personalities, in which one half are child molesters and the other half are serial killers. Neither half are even tolerable, much less agreeable, to conservatives.

Seems like it’s a difficult, almost impossible lesson for some to learn.

We win when we run Constitutional conservatives. History is clear.
