Wait, wait, wait...
OK, let me clarify my point here. I’m not that big a fan of Mitt but I don’t think he’s the Devil Incarnate either. I just think it’s a bit premature to run ads at the top of every FR thread against him...why not have it about 2010, or anti-Obamacare, etc?
Sure, we should always discuss potential candidates, good and bad, but the focus should be, for now, defeating Obamacare and Cap and Tax, and presenting a UNITED FRONT against the Left.
For what it’s worth, I’m FAR from a RINO, a quick look at my posts (prior to today) can tell you that.
I’m NOT saying “nominate the RINO who can WIN” but nominate the CONSERVATIVE who can.
Example...Duncan Hunter. A FINE man, but there was absolutely no way in hell he could win...so it would all have been for naught. Not because he was too conservative, but because he couldn’t communicate with enough independent voters.
McCain was NOT the “conservative who could win” - turns out he wasn’t even the RINO who could. If absolutely nobody could beat the Dem, fine, nominate the best conservative to make a statement...but if there’s someone out there who has Reaganesque politics AND a Reaganesque ability to win over voters, that’s who you nominate. Ronald Reagan was conservative and could convince voters that they were, too. More people are conservative in this country than liberal. It’s up to us to find the acceptable candidate who can win over those conservative voters who usually vote Democrat, because of misinformation, bad habits, and even, yes, stupidity...
We are free to disagree who that person is. But right now, shouldn’t we be working on defeating Obamacare, and finding conservative AND electable 2010 candidates for the Senate and House?
That won't happen with Rinos. The focus should be putting government on notice AND the RNC that we have had ENOUGH!
The the Republican Party platform and tell me how many believe and support it.
The above should say "Read the Republican Party platform and tell me how many believe and support it."
