Nobody wants you out. They want you to realize that sometimes people have to give a little to get anything. A little pragmatism and long-term thinking for once.
You know...like adults.
A little? A LITTLE?
Rudy wants the GOP to abandon the abortion issue. He is pro-gun control. Pro gay agenda.
Just for starters.
The fact that so many Rudy critics are also fans of Fred shows we are not 100 percenters like the Rudy boosters claim.
However, we want someone from the center of the GOP. Not the far left of the GOP like Rudy.
More than a little has been given over the past several decades...when does it stop?
A little pragmatism and long-term thinking for once.
Long-term means not selling out for short-term comfort--such as "winning" something that's detrimental. Long-term means demonstrating that good principles might not win today, but are better than abandoning them and continuing to lose slowly.
(Unless, perhaps, you don't believe principled conservatism is demonstrably better than the alternative. If that's the case, then I can't argue against your support of Mr. Giuliani.)
Give a little? Sure. Give up all core beliefs? Not a chance. BIG DIFFERENCE.
You know...like adults.
More accurately, like appeasing leftscum in the fact of Islamiacs. It's ironic, those on the right understand that appeasement of terrorists won't work, but many then counsel appeasement of the Democrat party (phrased as "moving toward the center") in US elections. There's a disconnect there somewhere...
I see. Well, I guess we could debate who the adults here are, but I’ve already made up my mind and I don't intend to waste time debating it. Gotta go to work now.
