So I take it we should not put you down as a conservative.
I believe in most of the underlying beliefs of the conservative philosophy. I don't believe most Conservatives could get elected assistant butt wipe at a diarrhea convention.
Many conservatives operate from the same misconception in which the left engages. It is the belief that if they can just elect someone to office, their agenda will be enacted.You likely believe that and therefor live in a world of constant disappointment as elected official after elected official fails to do as you wish.
The key to success is to change the voting publics mind. One has to convert a majority of voters to a conservative position on an issue before that issue can be changed. It is super hard to change minds on a group of subjects or a philosoply. Changes have to be made one issue at a time. Those that try for eveything always fail.
It is never possible for a candidate to change voters minds. There is always a candidate ready to tell the moderate voter what the voter wants to hear. The choice is always vote for me .. I believe as you do. That is a lot easier way to get votes than say "To vote for me you will need to change your mind." When a candidate asks a voter to change his mind the answer is nearly always.. "Fat Chance!!"
That means change only comes when the rank and file of a movement makes its goal one of two things... either selecting candidates that mask real views to fool voters, or doing what it takes to change voters minds before election season.
The left has consistently disguised itself. The left plays moderate but acts liberal. The right plays conservative and as a result gets defeated.
You believe this is a nation of the politician, by the politician and for the politician. So you are looking to elect a politician that agrees with you. That is not very bright. Politicans will tell you what you want to hear, then when in office do what the majority wants. Their goal is always to get elected. Their goal is never to do what you want unless you are a strong majority.
Lincoln had it right. This is a nation of the people, by the people and for the people. If the Conservatives ever figure that out and appeal to voters not politicans they might get a majority of voters to agree with them.
Once a majority agrees with your postion politicians will fight to enact it into law. It is the way the system works.
Your are a typical far right conservative.. If I point out why you fail you accuse me of being a liberal.
As my Dad used to say .."Never tell a conservative how to win. They enjoy the misery of defeat far too much to listen to you."
