“It is wise to field candidates who can win their district, over pure conservatives who can not win in that district.” Where’s the fool-proof “end game” to this line of thinking, when RINO Republicanism is, FINALLY, replaced by Conservative Republicanism, instead? In way too many of the “bluest, politically” areas of the U.S., whenever anybody with an “R” next to their name, actually, wins, they are, almost, always, RINO Republicans, and conservatives and conservatism fail to make any kind of actual, political inroads!

Because more pure conservatives have lost in many elections. As Reagan said, “I will vote for the conservative WHO CAN WIN”. If we are wise and smart, we will choose who can win over who is the most pure.

A few of the really good conservatives who I would have preferred, but were obviously not the best choice:

Ken Cuccinelli
Richard Mourdock
Sharron Angle
Todd Akin
Christine O’Donnell
George Allen
Joe Miller
Ken Buck
Alan West
Doug Hoffman
JD Hayworth
Barry Goldwater
