Perhaps he would be helping the sorry arse Dims (on the short term surface) at first look,...
Liberal judges could last for decades.
... but he would be also returning the future voter power shift back to a more conservative area in future elections.
A liberal Congress would oppose any voter reform that undercut their cheating. They would support anything that let illegals vote. They would support whatever let more foreigners in that would vote Dem. They would redraw districts in their own favor. They would make any law they could to hold power.
(Don't think so? Have you seen a lot of integrity and respect for the rule of law and the Constitution amongst Dems lately?)
Republicans are not stupid creatures, they know the electorate center to stand, and without extremes to the right being worth courting, there is no reason to stay conservative.
If the electorate swings to the left you think the Pubbies will move to the right? And you would consider them smart if they did? Do you also think they're not politicians?
There is the meat of my stance... if the swing to the left is more bait than the swing to the right... they will go that way.. I will always stand as bait for the correct stance of conservatism... and sleep soundly... The Bible tells us clearing what lukewarm will get you.
Why do you think the libs are swinging more radical daily? Because there is wackos out there like Soro and Moveon.org that the dim party wants to grab from other parties (Communist, Green, and even Libertarian)... It has hurt them to some degree going out on a limb that far left.. something the lib media does not like to admit... instead the lib media likes to punish any conservative who actually stands his ground as chasing voters of right wing extremists.. when in reality they are just being good canidates.... heck, even here at FR many people will vilify conservatives because they might dare to upset the middle mindset republicans have adopted as their stance.
I am just proud that most Alabamians could care less what the liberal left says. They vote basically conservative and our congresscritters basically toe a good line because of it. Now at the extreme, we have seen what pubs will do in California just to stay in power.
It is about time for the general good conservatives to take a solid stand and mean it. RINO's might be the straw that does it and then alternative canidates and parties will no longer be just an catch phrase to the few on FR that down them as impossible. As it stands now, backbonelessness in conservatives has not stopped the slide to the left.
Lukewarm will cause you to spew eventually. God did give you a gag reflex for a reason.
