Thanks for not throwing in the towel for conservatism.
I didn't throw it in and I resent not being called a Conservative. You will find more and more conservatives supporting Rudy and probably McCain because we know how dangerous 8 more years of a Clinton would be and how many hard left judges would be appointed.
People forget that if she wins she will bring along more Senators and Reps and our Conservative agenda is dead. We don't stand a chance. Look at the number of DemocRAT Governors compared to 1998 and you will find the Dems are systematically taking back the Governorships one by one. Why? Because we are running candidates that cannot win and don't stick to issues that matter most to the average voter.
My State of Oklahoma was burning every where last year when our rural fire fighters ran out of money and had ancient equipment which a lot was lost in the fire. They came to the Capitol, sat in the balconey, and waited for the House to pass their legislation. Not our Republican social conservatives -- they debated where gay library books should be located in the library (that is a community problem IMO as well as others) -- didn't vote for several days on money for our rural fire departments. We had a woman killed on I-35 when a portion of bridge where I live fell on her car. Our bridges and roads are in horrible condition but they spent days on feel good resolutions and couldn't pass a budget on time so they came back in special session and spent money like it was going out of style. Did you know that our wonderful social conservatives sponsored in-state tuition for illegals and that the Mormons and evangelicals have joined to support illegals and help them adjust?
I am a rock ribbed conservative but I will not support a candidate that cannot win, spends all their time on social issues when infrastructe is in horrible shape, and wastes my tax dollars on illegals.
Do you know who opposed all the feel good issues here including illegals? Conservatives who do not put social issues above all other Conservative issues.
Do I throw in the towel as a Conservative -- no way. I go back to being a Goldwater bell ringer as a teenager. Do I believe in beating Hillary, I sure do and will work for whoever the nominee is to send her packing once and for all.
This campaign cycle is going to cost more than most of us can imagine and it is going to take someone who can raise the big bucks and get a ton of support. I was called a liberal in 2000 when I supported then Gov Bush on here. Some things never change but anyone can call me anything they want but it doesn't change that I am a conservative Republican that doesn't believe in losing so I will support the candidate that can win. I would support Rudy/Newt in a heartbeat. I just put Steele on there to bug DemocRATs that read here because Steele being nominated would drive them nuts.
Read my latest -- I was told in email that I was not a conservative as someone had read my post on here so my reply back to you is meant to the whole bunch.
Makes me think that one Freeper is back when they read what I post and send me an email. Remember those days?
