“If it’s another Bush or other luke warm Leftist, we might just as well hang it up right now.”
Even if by some miracle we do get an actual conservative nominee (dreaming here), is it really worth the effort? The billions of dollars and millions of manhours...for what? Rest assured that if any conservative gets elected to the White House, he or she will be sandbagged from minute one. And I think its a huge and unrealistic assumption that this will happen in the first place.
Conservatism is a lifestyle and a personal decision. So, be conservative. Asking a bunch of kleptocrats for to please, in their infinite benevolence, give us a few scraps of freedom to me is wrongheaded and counterproductive. The kleptocrats are going to do what they’re going to do and not give a rats ass what we think about it. It’s time for end runs, not to try to elect a new and improved breed of kleptocrat.
As long as I can remember, the Republicans on Capital Hill have adopted the policies of the sitting Republican president.
If they were to stand up in opposition to a Conservative president, it would be the first time they had overtly done that.
They like being on the in-crowd list with the sitting president.
