If pointing out reality causes a flamefest, then the guys who don't like reality have a problem, not the guys pointing out reality.
I couldn't agree more. Hopefully we can work together to overcome your problem and avoid further flamefests.
The Reality Is that Bush has put his reelection in jeopardy by alienating a big chuck of the conservative vote time and time again. You talk as if conservatives have little influence in elections when the elections of 1976, 1992, and 1996 serve as stark reminders of what happens to Republican presidents and candidates that take conservatives for granted.
May I also remind you that most of the hard/tough campaign work in republican elections is done by motivated conservatives at the grassroots level—not the country club set. Truth is most RINOs are terrible at campaigning. They feel they are above knocking on doors, working the telephone banks and putting up the signs.
Lots a Luck on “getting out the vote” on Election Day if the conservative base is unmotivated.... You’ll need it.
