Appears the WH agrees with you so far on that score. We're going to lose a ton of elections with an attitude like that. One which is dismissive and antagonistic to your own natural supporters for the sake of political courses, which cannot even be plausibly proven are in the movement's interests.

We ?

You are not one of us. You decided to join the enemy.

Demonstrating my point. You're already thinking of a large section base Republic electorate as "enemies"? Take a look around the board, criticism of this nomination is not uncommon even on FR. Care to let me in on how you anticipate winning elections on that forumla in the future?

"Don't hold Saddam accountable by standing up to him. We had better compromise and play soft, else we might have to go to war and that would be a rough time, so the best thing to do is just roll over now."

"Don't hold the lefties accountable by standing up to them. We had better compromise and play soft, else we might have a Democrat win and that would be a rough time, so the best thing to do is just roll over now."

Funny how the Bushbots change! It's transparently about a personality cult and short-term pragmatism and cowardice without principle, rather than integrity and willingness to risk short-term losses to stand firm for long-term gain. Principles and the future are important to me; count me as a conservative, not a Bushbot.

Another funny thing...I recall when the Conservative Party almost got more votes than the Republicans did for Governor in New York State.
