It does say that, but it doesn't say "we're all supposed to support the same candidate". That's the disconnect among many here. Conservatism is not monolithic. Just like the ages, it's fluid, and it's ever-expanding, and ever-changing, even though it's founded and built upon a solid foundation of timeless beliefs. Beliefs that go way back to the Founding Father's of this country.
Funny thing is, we here at FR are not all supporting the same candidate. It is way too early to have our heals dug in anyway. What we ARE trying to say here is that we should all be together in backing a candidate, any candidate with conservative principals....one who is willing to defend his conservative principals. For those who feel that they have to back a liberal republican candidate, are either a liberal in disguise or are compromising their conservative values.
I believe the disconnect around here is that we need these Freepers and the many voters around the country who are similar to them.
If we can't convince these posters on this website that Rudy is not the one then we will never convince the many voters around the country, the same.
If we can't convince these posters on this website that a conservative like Fred is the one to support then we will never convince the many voters around the country, the same.
The road to beating Hillary with a good conservative passes through these type of voters.
