All of my adult life the Republicans have been saying “Now is not the time to fight. Now is the time to....expand our base, hold our lead, wait until after the next election, etc....”
Anyone who cares, can see where it has gotten us.
I truly don’t understand why we always start the negotiations from the point where the conservative wing of the party needs to moderate in order to accomplish things.
It’s always...”We can’t elect a conservative because there are too many moderates who won’t vote for him.”
Why don’t we start from the point of....”We can’t elect a moderate because there are too many conservatives who won’t vote for him.”?
“It’s always...”We can’t elect a conservative because there are too many moderates who won’t vote for him.”
Why don’t we start from the point of....”We can’t elect a moderate because there are too many conservatives who won’t vote for him.”?”
As a hard-core fiscal Conservative, I get what you’re saying (and feeling?). But... there’s a right time and a wrong time to pick your battles. Now is NOT the right time for this one. Again, I won’t waste my time explaining to you the ‘why’. All you have to do is pay attention to events unfolding and look at things from a perspective of not, for a change, engaging in ‘throwing the baby out with the bathwater politics’.
