Shouldn't we concentrate on defeating Hillary and maintaining the White House first, and less bickering amongst FReepers?
That's an easy one. NO.
Liberal Republicans, like Rudy, are more dangerous than liberal democrats,,,,
because liberal Republicans BLUR THE DISTINCTION between liberalism and conservatism,,,
MAKING LIBERALISM MUCH MORE ACCEPTABLE!!
Why put the cart before the horse?
Is it a skirmish in a long fight? Can we plan ahead more than one election? There has been some good work at the primary level, but not enough. I think we can do more there. Any Republican candidate, and certainly a president, will be under assault constantly by the left (almost all dems) and the media (almost all dems). How do we help our side and our cause? By destroying anyone who is somewhat with us, but not in the way we would like on everything. I don't have the answers to these questions, but I would like to keep the discussion going on a level somewhere above Giuliani having done some appearances in drag, or Romney being a Mormon, and on and on.
But I would like to win back the House and Senate with people more conservative than less, and I would like to hold on to the White House. I am just looking for realistic ways to get there. This matters to me and, I think, to my country. (Sorry to be so verbose.)
