"Are victories, achieved through the use of political whores or liberal mercenaries, advancing conservatism?"
What a great couple of comments that penetrate all the redundantly fearful bull stuff!!!
That's all this constant drum-beat of surrender to left-leaning Repellicans is about... Just Plain FEAR!!!
It's people who have been calling themselves "conservative" for so long they forgot that "conservative" required stuff like standards, platforms and judgement, not just popularity and pragmatism! (to say nothing of the courage of their convictions)
Otherwise, why even have a conservative movement anymore? What would the purpose be? To lie back and enjoy the raping of conservative principles like we've been experiencing in spades in CA?
This quivering in fear of the leftist DemonicraTICK Party is an exercise in intellectual masturbation! If people are truly rooted in conservatism, then they support candidates that pursure the triumph of those principles through a particular political party.
We need the Republican Party and they need our votes and we're not ridin in the back of the danged bus or slaves on any plantation like so many factions of the DemonicraTICK Party!!!
So if that Party is too embarrassed to have us cranky conservatives in their stupid "big tent" with all those other liberals and depraved deviants, then tell the dumbells to just let us know and we'll just have to figure somethin else out! That's all there is too it!!! (this bickerin is gittin old!)

Our party has apparently deserted us.
