If you were at all intellectually honest, you would at the very least admit that both sides are the problem. United we stand, divided we fall. You can't only blame one side for it.
But typically I don't fit into that catagory. It takes a special kind of bufoonery to turn me off. I just found a particular revulsion to Simon's personality, not his politics.
But it goes far beyond *me*. This was a decision I made, or really, a non-decision, based on the man himself. This happened all over the state on both sides. Democrats were equally turned off by Davis. The low election turnout was a PHENOMENON.
I see that quite different from the conservative single-issue voters who seemingly CONSPIRE as a group against any Republican who doesn't fit all of their criteria.
They'll stay home, and you'll get Bustamante, or a man with an (R) behind his name that *might* be marginally different.
I don't think conservative turnout one way or the other will impact the final outcome in this particular election.
How again can you consider yourself a conservative?
Because of my economic and foreign policy/national defense positions. And I am conservative enough to be pro-Israel but not so conservative as to be anti-Israel, if you know what I mean...
It's odd really...if I may draw an analogy to mathematics with negative numbers on the Liberal end and positive numbers on the Conservative end. RINOs...like yourself...want to subtract from a very large negative number, proclaiming that eventually you'll get a positive number because your numbers might not be as negative as those from the Democrats.
Conservatives want numbers to be added to shift that number to the other side of "0".
That is an interesting analogy, but not an applicable one.
I see it as the intolerant views, religious sectarianism, and stiff demeanor of the "social conservatives" as a negative in the Republican column, and I want to nullify it.
