From where I stand, there seems to be a continuum here at FR. 100% conservative purists are at one end. 100% practical conservatives at the other. The practicals say, “Anyone but Hillary!” The purists say, “Conservatives first! If they’re not a pure conservative, I’ll stay home!” I don’t think it’s WRONG to be at either end or somewhere in between, although the purists will argue with me on that point!! (If they didn’t, they wouldn’t be purists!) Where we each fall on that continuum is a combination of our own experiences, background, even personality.
We have the candidates we have. We would all love to have a candidate who has the conservative principles of Hunter, the name recognition of McCain/Giuliani/Thompson, the money and business credentials of Romney, ...not sure what Huckabee’s strongest virtue is... Anyway, this is the group we have and certainly ONE of them will be our nominee. I don’t think that personal attacks on each other are what FR is about nor do they help win anyone over to someone’s favored candidate.
Personally, I tend to be more practical, but that’s my nature in most things.
I couldn’t agree more. I think some of the purists here take politics a little too seriously and sensitive. Reminds me of people at Star Trek conventions who fight over Kirk or Picard. LOL
Good luck and God bless with your home-schooling!
