1. You accept the premise that there is a Republican Party Establishment.
2. You analyze this gated-community RNC Establishment and you see that often they are an anathema to American Bedrock Conservative ("ABC") ideals: immigration/illegals/border fence/amnesty, NAFTA/NAU, no-win nation-building wars, entitlements, political correctness, soft on gays, milquetoast on abortion/euthansia, pro-big government. (In short, RINOs with no fundamental difference from centrist-lib Democrats.
3. You see just whom they accept as candidates and who they are afraid of or wish to stop.
4. You avoid like the plague any candidates who swim with this RNC Establishment Crowd, and embrace those who are either hated or ignored by such a group.
This logic has me down to about three or four Presidential candidates at best.
Necessarily, they are all not "the front runners", and ignored by the MSM as footnotes, but in essence and in all self-honesty, for me, they are all what is really BEST FOR AMERICA and MOST IN LINE WITH MY POLITICAL THINKING AND HOPE FOR THIS ENDANGERED REPUBLIC.
At that is who gets my vote and support in 2008.
How many people in jail watch cable or have viewed porn in the past year?
It isn’t all about using drugs or alcohol.
Paul want to pull out of all wars including the drug war
they are all not “the front runners”,
No question the most conservative candidates are NOT RNC “superstars”! The RNC’s job is to win elections. If they could find someone who happens to BE conservative AND an electable candidate ala Ronald Reagan all the better.However winning an election trumps conservatism.You doubt it check out people like Arlin Spector and John McCain !!!
