You act as if all is lost. Don’t you have any faith in the primary elections and their purpose? You do understand the process of electing a president works, don’t you?
Puleeze.
IMHO, FR is pretty good gauge of the mood of the base. In 2000, 2002, 2004, people united to fight the Dems and their MSM allies and were optimistic.
In 2006, and even 2005, you could see the division and negativity come in as the negative posts against Republicans, especially the Congressional party, just got worse. There were a lot of people in the "teach 'em a lesson" camp who thought losing would be a good strategy.
What I've seen so far this year is lots of pot shots at the other guy's candidates and lots of declarations about who someone won't vote for. It doesn't give me a lot of optimism about being unified enough to fight an election with an unpopular Republican in the White House.
And I'm not sure anyone "understands" the primary "process" for 2008. You do understand it's being radically overhauled? There really isn't going to be a "process" anymore - it's all going to be over in about a month.
Well I agree w/Pan_Yans Wife: You act as if all is lost. Don’t you have any faith in the primary elections and their purpose? You do understand the process of electing a president works, don’t you?
You wanna remind me again how many candidates entered into the Fox debate? You call that unity?
The primaries are all about a diversity of candidates. A party on the other hand is all about uniting behind that candidate.
Having said that, I am a Christian first, identity-wise, and a Republican another dimension removed.
I am not going to run the American flag thru a party sword just for the sake of unity over a bad candidate. We all need to listen very, very carefully to the voice of the Holy Spirit.
