It's fine to discuss what the voters think, but we oughtn't use it as a basis on which to make a policy decision.
After all, we aren't a bunch of lemmings or Bill Clinton, right? Conservatives make decisions based on history and data with the aims of preserving the Constitutional Republic envisioned by the Founding Fathers as well as promoting national prosperity.
As we find all to often, "what the voters think" conflicts with our goals, which is usually the result of us losing the propaganda war. Mind you, it isn't as bad as it was back during the bad old days of the liberal media monopoly, but it's still a problem.
The fact that 13% of our members think that President Clinton II is a good idea only serves to illustrate that point further. To anyone with seeing eyes and a thinking mind, having a President Hillary and a Democrat Congress would neither serve to protect the Constitution, nor would it be good for our economic, milititary, civic, or moral national health.
I'm sorry, but I just can't fathom how handing the levers of power over to the bad guys will help us at all. Instead of throwing away all of our gains in the last decade in a fit of pique, why not instead work within the party and try to change things?
I suspect the majority of that 13% are either too lazy to try or not bold enough to succeed, and are using this as an excuse for what they view as unaviodable impending doom.
At least that way, they won't have to feel bad about being the generation that let so much progress go down the drain.
Which came first the campaign promise or the policy? In this case the promise came first and have yet to be carried out thus the approval ratings went down. NOT the other way around.
I never suggested that Bush follow the polls. The polls followed Bush...Bush left the agenda.
Who's leaving who?
