My point, obvious lost on the author, was that some on this forum, including the 68 grunt account, appear far more interested in promoting partisan, Republican aims, than conservatives values.
Although all are entitled to an opinion, this forum is non partisan. It has to be or it will loose any hope of shaping political opinion and influencing governance. The consequences are no more obvious than the actions of the disastrous, liberal executive that Republican partisans have enabled in California. Left unchallenged, the 68 grunt account and its brethren will promote the same at the national level.
I don't mind liberal Republicans challenging conservatives on governing philosophy. I do mind belligerent, intolerant partisans attacking conservatives in their own house simply because conservatives discriminate and place less emphasis on short term expediencies than accomplishing the greater goal.
Patience and planning have a distinct place in politics. Constantly running to catch the next popularity express, as it leaves the station, usually leads to bruised knees, bloody noses and ruined reputations. Arrivals at unintended destinations obviously produce discomfort and embarrassment.
The greater questions aren't "Is he Republican and can he win?", but rather "Is he conservative and will his stewardship advance conservatism?".
I'm supporting Hunter, you goofball, shaddup.
