Not unless you toss a bucket of water on her sister, Fauxahontus, ELIZABETH WARREN.
Excellent article, as far as it goes.
Amen my friend. Both Gingrich and Santorum were infinitely better candidates than Romney, but conservatives split their votes and found fault with certain positions both of them had. I hope we nominate a conservative candidate in two years time, and if we don’t then that’s our fault. We need to consolidate the conservative vote to deny the establishment from picking the nominee, and not split it like we did in 2012.
In the referenda on "gay" marriage, where it has a ballot line all to itself, it still loses almost everywhere, though by less every year.
But when it comes time to tick the box for Candidate A versus Candidate B, for most Americans (including a lot of people who are registered Republican and tell the pollster they are "conservative") the candidate's position on "gay" marriage is about 137th on the list of things they are thinking about.
Because as I and Sherman Logan and a couple of others have said here, an FR-lifer, viking kitty conservative would be damn lucky to get 25 percent of the vote.
The question for me is, when Ted or Sarah or whomever takes that tack to the center, will FR collectively freak out, take its ball and run home, weeping tears of rage and betrayal.
I hope not.
Not stupid at all, I know liberals who are saying the Democrat ticket will be Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders.
Sadly, no longer true. I believe all the referenda in 2012 passed.
At the present time we're at something like 34 states that have legalized it, with the method split about 50/50 between political means, legislation or referendum, and judicial decision.
When has that scenario played out here at FR?
What policy changes by the US government do you suggest?
