Mainstream is giving up, it is surrendering oneself to having no opinion, no particular dream of success, no heartfelt need to preserve liberty and the right to life for all Americans.
Mainstream is mediocrity and nothing else.
It is a spark with no fire.
The Rudy campaign wishes to instill the mindset of mediocrity, and submission to it, upon the wonderful conservatives who wish to preserve what our founders created. I am not going to willingly submit to their depressing ideas.
I am proud of all of us that are not willing to accept that fate.
Folks who think that Party should trump "sacred principles" simply don't understand conservatives, IMO. The Party will succeed by embracing those principles and representing the people, not by shoving the same liberal agenda down everyone's throat because they want to be the next one sitting in the throne ruling over country.
So you would rather have the excitement and emotion of being on the right fringe, rather than drag the mainstream over to where you are and then have no conflict. Ok.
