I don’t really give a crap, frankly. If he is THE nominee, then I just stay home on Election Day.

"And how's that working out for you?"

I don't care for Bush myself, but he is preferable to Clinton or Warren. My concern is if we splinter the party we will give up a historic opportunity at a critical moment. We have very few chances left to turn around our descent into full blown socialism.

We have two major groups in the conservative movement, the social conservatives and the fiscal conservatives. They can be at odds sometimes but not always. We have so many other issues that people are concerned about such as immigration, freedom of religion, gun rights, terrorism, foreign policy, national debt, unemployment, women, gays, on and on. Not everybody prioritizes these issues the same way.

Explain, I cannot see how. At best they are the same exact governing philosophy.

I’m not buying that appeasing crap any more. Been there done that. Bark it up another tree.

No he's not, because none of those three is preferable to any Conservative.

Conservatives are not the ones splintering the party - we are holding fast to our ideals. It's the people who support the Bushes, the McCains, the Romneys, who are splintering the party.

We have very few chances left to turn around our descent into full blown socialism.

A liberal with an (R) next to their name like Bush may only be taking you down the road to socialism at half the speed a Clinton or Warren is, but they are still taking you down the road to socialism, and they are doing it with your support and your party's support.
