Yeah, it's really terrific, isn't it? (Wish I had been the one to think of it).
I agree—this article has a legitimate factual basis for noting that litmus test conservatives do not approve of Giuliani at the very least and, perhaps, Mitt Romney as well.
They assume they will prevail. If they prevail, then what? If they fail, then what. Will RINOs really return and support a candidate whose supporters have demonized theirs? Conversely, if the litmus testers lose and Giuliani is the candidate what happens—thus far, according to Dobson et al, they are going to take their ball and go home.
The issues are clearly demarcated in this article. Just attacking her as biased, MSM infected and so forth are insufficient arguments against observed, factual findings of serious disputes within the Republican Party.
Now that’s boring, old, talking points.
People who work at journalism full time ought to be able to do a better job of it than people for whom it is a hobby. But that's not going to happen as long as we "professional" journalists ignore stories we don't like and try to hide our mistakes. We think of ourselves as "gatekeepers." But there is not much future in being a gatekeeper when the walls are down.Newspaper sale$ decline should be blamed on the journos - By Jack Kelly
For Christian conservatives, any action - or inaction - that allows Hillary to win the presidency is immoral.
I always make it a point to read Kelly's articles... not surptised that the quote came from him.
