They’re right about one thing. We do not compromise during the primary process BUT if we do not prevail in getting an acceptable candidate, we still pledge to do all we can to stop any totally evil Democrat. We have far more to gain by stopping them than to surrender.

In other words - any Republican candidate is acceptable. Stopping the current totally evil Democrat doesn't solve the issue of "getting an acceptable candidate" in the republican party next time. Or the time after that.

Or should we ignore the "slippery slope" we have placed ourselves on until we're all soaked in the waste at the bottom?

What is called pragmatism in politics is really merely dangerous shortsightedness and destructive compromise.

Why? Because, it is still true that whatever we sow, we reap.

It’s time for conservatives to stop with the subjective, skewed and deceptive electability arguments and go back to planting good seed, then tending and watering it until the crop we seek bears fruit.

We may have to live with tares until the harvest, but we shouldn’t participate in any way in planting them. That’s the work of the enemy of our souls.
