Thanks."
No...what HAS brought us here today is the fielding of non-electable Republican candidates, who don't have a CHANCE of winning an election, regardless of how you wish they could.
If we don't field candidates that CAN GET ELECTED, you are wasting your time supporting them. Rally behind someone who CAN get elected, instead of bloviating about a non-contender who will result in yet ANOTHER Democrat winning an election.
Ridiculous hogwash.
The Republicans have held the White House, the House and the Senate for most of this decade. It was "electable" Republicans who were weak on spending, weak on illegal immigration, weak on tax reform, weak on moving forward with the promises they made to get elected that lost their control in the House and Senate and helped to bring us this bipartisan amnesty today.
This foolishness about "electibility" is why the party is falling apart - we settle for candidates who settle for weakness and compromise.
I'll vote for the unelectable candidates with principles over the weak every time. The principled Republicans - Tancredo, King, Coburn, Linder - win their elections when the Country Club establishment doesn't step in their way and sabatoge them for the likes of Specter and Isakson in the primaries.
I'm sick of being lectured by County Club Republicans who love their big government about "electibility."
