You say that if Conservatives don’t act like moderates, then their influence is so miniscule as to be like Libertarians...
...and then you want us to help your candidate win? Why, we have so *little* influence as to make no difference.
Face it, you Republicrats need us to win. You can live with a Conservative in power... and win. Or select one of your own and lose.
I think y’all like to lose, considering the consistant selection of Republicrats for the last 2 years.
So, when ever you all get sick of losing, you can follow a Conservative lead. Otherwise, get lost - we ain’t interested in listening.
“You say that if Conservatives don’t act like moderates, then their influence is so miniscule as to be like Libertarians...”
Nowhere did I say that.
“...and then you want us to help your candidate win?
“My candidate”. No.
“Why, we have so *little* influence as to make no difference.”
Again, I never said that; exactly. Anyone actively working in the GOP can make a difference. “Conservatives” leaving the GOP have made no discernable headway as an independent force or party, not even the Libertarians, as far as actually getting into government. Have they had an affect on the GOP itself? Yes. They have helped increase the proportion of everything they complain about in some GOP members. They have helped make the GOP LESS conservative. Wow, what a great statement of accomplishment that is.
“My candidate”. No.
As I have said since the end of the primaries. I will strongly hold my nose as I enthusiastically pull the lever for McCain.
It’s not about voting for McCain. It’s about voting against Obama; an avowed Marxist.
The time for building conservatives up is in the primaries. The time for voting against Liberals and Marxists is in the general election.
“Face it, you Republicrats need us to win. You can live with a Conservative in power... and win. Or select one of your own and lose.”
Sorry, I have never been a “Republicrat”.
But, when my final choices in a general election are a Liberal/Marxist or a McCain, I’ll take a McCain.
