Furthermore, the way the Democrat field is shaping up (I watch "fear of Hillary" voters with increasing scorn), we could nominate Donald Duck and win.

All the more reason to nominate a real honest-to-God Limited Govt. Real Thing Conservative Republican. Of the top five candidates, and the top four in SC, ONE guy and one alone is that.

His name is Fred Dalton Thompson. And he's a hell of a lot better than Donald Duck and the rest of the characters in the R line-up.

Do you think that being a conservative means ignoring reality and the consequences of one’s actions, even if the conserquences the polar opposite of what one stands for?

Please explain to me how is it consistent with conservative principles to allow or even help a socialist liberal like Hillary or Obama get elected, who, with the help of the Dem Congress will destroy everything conservatives hold dear?

Maybe you should review Ronald Reagan’s words about compromise. People who claim that they consider Ronald Reagan as their hero, refuse to listen to his clearly expressed philosophy. Do you think it’s OK to quote Ronald Reagan at this website?

“An American Life (his autobiography) | | Ronald Reagan

“When I began entering into the give and take of legislative bargaining in Sacramento, a lot of the most radical conservatives who had supported me during the election didn’t like it.

“Compromise” was a dirty word to them and they wouldn’t face the fact that we couldn’t get all of what we wanted today. They wanted all or nothing and they wanted it all at once. If you don’t get it all, some said, don’t take anything.

“I’d learned while negotiating union contracts that you seldom got everything you asked for. And I agreed with FDR, who said in 1933: ‘I have no expectations of making a hit every time I come to bat. What I seek is the highest possible batting average.’

“If you got seventy-five or eighty percent of what you were asking for, I say, you take it and fight for the rest later, and that’s what I told these radical conservatives who never got used to it.”
