Well this Conservative North Carolina 21 year Veteran thinks you sound like a quitter and have given up on any type of win. You would rather lose complete control of the government than minimize the damage and conduct damage control? It’s about doing all you can to minimize the damage from the enemy and maximize damage on them.

Hillary or Obama get control of the government = maximum damage inflicted on Conservatives for decades perhaps.

McCain gets control of the government = far less damage than the alternative.

Be a realist, like it or not you deal with the cards you are delt.

Don’t forget, Ronald Reagan was a Democrat before he was a Republican. And I shook his hand back when I was on active duty, a cherished memory.

Don’t see you rejecting President Reagan for having been a Democrat.

On the contrary. The GOP is a bunch of quitters for abandonding Conservatism to appease those who are not Conservatives in order to expand tthe voter base. I'm simply holding steady to my Conservative principles instead of trying to fool myself into believing nominating a socialist like McCain is acceptable and then compounding that false premise by pretending I support another socialist in order to get the GOP socialist into the White House. You're only going to get cuaght in your own web with that twisted thinking.

The "minimizing the damage" thinking is causing the downfall of the GOP. If the GOP just accepts just a little more socialism then they can defeat the socialists. That couldn't be more of a loser strategy. The onoy effective strategy is to stop the damage by holding true to Conservative values. that is A concept the GOP either refuses to emply or by some unfathomable reason can't grasp.

Be a realist, like it or not you deal with the cards you are delt.

Being a realist does not include ceding conservative values.

Don’t see you rejecting President Reagan for having been a Democrat.

I do reject John McCain and the GOP for constantly sacrificing Conservative values to appease socilaists.
