As for getting Conservatives elected, that won’t happen on a national scale until we win the left swaying electorate over to Conservative values.


We’ve seen plenty of situations where the Conservative was winning and the GOPe did everything possible, including throwing the election, to keep the Conservative out of office.

Yes, we need to promote Conservative values. We also need to eliminate the traitors. You don’t do that by reelecting them. If you choose to reelect them you are rewarding the behavior and you WILL NOT “pressure them” or “scare them.”

We've also seen plenty of issues transcending the liberal/conservative divide where the GOP did nothing at all — a prime example would be the NSA's domestic espionage. Do you really think that the majority of Americans think this is right? Do you really think that acting against such obviously contraconstitutional policies would be politically damaging to them? Absurd! They could have proven that they are more than talk when it comes to upholding the Constitution garnering some measure of support from those otherwise disinclined to support them and they threw it all away! Why!?

The only explanation that makes sense is that the GOP approves of, and condones, such practices.

Example?

Traitors? Because they reflect the middle views of the electorate that voted for them rather than us?

If you choose to reelect them you are rewarding the behavior and you WILL NOT “pressure them” or “scare them.”

And I guess allowing the Democrats to control everything promote Conservative values.

And you didn't comment on any of the actions I suggested. Why?
