Then why is the NRCC supporting RINOs for Congress instead of real conservatives/Republicans?
"Conservatives need to listen."
This is just another attempt by the GOP to further marginalize conservatism and conservative principles.
If the GOP wins, they'll say "It's because we didn't take conservatives seriously, thank god"
If the GOP loses, they'll say "Those rat bastard conservatives caused us to lose power - they need to be punished for their disloyalty"
Sooner or later, the GOP is going to have to decide if conservative ideals are part of the republican party. If not, then quit whining about conservatives not being enthusiastic about the slate of candidates being put forward.
Frankly, if it weren't for big-government liberals in the GOP, there would be no worries about the electability of republican candidates.
Why not cede the big government types to the Democrats, instead of cutting conservatives out of policy strategy? I wonder why that isn't the argument, don't you?
If the GOP loses the house and/or senate, it will not be because they are too conservative. The party can't pin blame on anyone but themselves if the people don't vote for them.
What happens in 2008(after more gov't growth and spending)? Another brow-beating of conservatives because they *gasp* dare to have conservative political views?
How lame. How lame that so many republicans buy into this nonsense.
If the Republicans chose to field candidates the Conservatives won't vote for -
It is not through ignorance. They are to go it without the conservatives.
They can do that if they want, bit to bitch about it if it doesn't work out - well thats like bitching you can't pay the rent when you blow your paycheck on booze. Don't go crying to some one else when you make a foreseeable bad choice
