“”Coleman is as rino as they come.””

Again, it’s like the McCain thing. But have you listened to idiot Al Franken???

So many, many fellow conservatives (I’m one) talk about “next time” when/if the GOP learns their lesson (which I agree they very much needed to learn before 11/4).

Whenever I hear this argument, though, I shake my head in sorrow, because with BHO as POTUS and (God forbid) a bullet-proof Democrat congress and senate, there may not BE a “next time” or second chance.

I’m SO convinced that we GOP/conservatives needed to put country first and ideology/politics second when facing SUCH a dangerous threat to this country in BHO and the radical Far Left. There’s absolutely no satisfaction in saying the outcome of this election will “teach conservatives/Republicans a lesson”. The situation is far more serious than that, and the “lesson” could well be a fatal one for this once great nation.

Well reasoned - and I struggled with this thought as well.

In the end, I had to stand with my faith and my conservative ideals. I found I couldn’t betray who I was - I just had to have faith that God knows what he is doing, and that it will all proceed according to his plan.

The other thought is that perhaps we as a nation overall need the example of liberal governance to appreciate what conservative ideals and principles are. Some people only learn not to touch a hot stove by touching it.
