Your, 'if you are not for our proposition/candidate/legislation or express any reservations about it, you must be against it,' logic is what got you into trouble with ccg. It is typical of the one-sided "Republicans must fall into line" arguments I see out of "moderates" on this forum. What it accomplishes is to default all leadership to "the leadership." It squelches reasoned criticism out of which better legislation can be derived. That's why you get a battle.

Given that conservatives have every reason to distrust the CAGOP "leadership," especially after the treatment Bill Simon got at the hands of his own party, you are barking up the wrong tree on this forum. You may think you are being reasonable and supporting a unified effort, but that is not how it looks to conservatives, having been stabbed in the back by the CAGOP way too many times for that approach to work. Thus you are stuck debating the merits of every initiative and candidate.
