Let me see if I got this straight.
"First the GOP gets rid of the isolationist non-free-traitors. Then it shakes loose that pesky small-government, libertarian wing. Ideological purity? That's just silly talk. Dig up the corrupt Jay Hanna GOP of the Gilded Age, that's WAAAAAY better than trying to get elected based on a platform. Screw these people who want a party philosophy...we run to put our people in power, the only principle is WIN!"
I'm aghast at how fast you people want what had yet been a party of principle to race to join the Democrat whoring. And you think...somehow...it's VIRTUOUS to do so. Who are you, and why do you call yourself conservative, anyway?
I prefer to be a loser with my integrity and ideals intact than a bought and sold winner.
I think you've got it, conservative MUST abandon conservative principle and morph into Bill Clinton new Democrats in order for the GOP to remain in power. Are you looking for your cocoon suit yet? LOL, I guess I'll just have to get used to being a 2 percenter dinosaur.
