That's not it. Like many of the candidates he is not keeping up with current events and keeps going back to the old, fossil record. Whoever ends up in the WH needs to be both up-to-date and fully aware of topics that are not beaten to death every hour on MSM news broadcast.
Have you considered that there are competing viewpoints to your world view?
I’ve been conservative, self identified, for just at 20 years(im 34 today), and i disagree with your view. I voted for GW both times. I believe in the second ammendment(and practice it), I’m dead set against Socialism, in any form, i am a Christian, i believe in freedom of religion, i believe that liberals are waging war on that right. I’m a card carrying, Texas Republican, and i disagree with you.
Have you not considered that some conservatives don’t see the WOT as its currently being prosecuted as the best way to get the job done?
Poll’s say 35% of republicans want out of the war, now polls are only as good as its questions and can easily be manipulated, but I assure I’m not the only one.
There’s never ONE TRUE WAY to get something done, and holding that view isn’t in line with what conservatism is about.(IMHO)
