‘You may prevail for a little while...’
I MAY PREVAIL?
Seriously, are you on CRACK?
I note the reality of California’s voter demographics, and you act like I’m the ‘bad guy’ here.
Thats insane, as nicely as I can word it. The problem isn’t ‘Badeye at Free Republic’, it isn’t Mitt Romney, nor is it Meg Whitman.
The problem is California is a Liberal Enclave, by a huge margin demographically, for reasons we all know.
Attacking those of us that acknowledge the reality in that state is always going to be counter productive on election day. Always.
Til you and others like you wake up to this simple, obvious to most, fact, you’ll continue to lose ground poltiically, rather than gain ground.
Let alone get ahead of the liberals there.
The problem is that liberal Republicans are all too quick to throw out the fundamental principles of the party and enable the very liberalism that we should be fighting. Why even bother when some are so willing to give in to the leftists by offering up RINOs as the only solution?
I'm so sick of those who run around alleging that "A conservative can't win" or calling others "single issue voters" who won't aid in electing more liberals.
It sounds like the same campaign nonsense spewed in the 1960s against Reagan. Thankfully, people didn't listen or we wouldn't have had a Governor Reagan, nor a President Reagan. It is an old and tired mantra:
"You need a Republican who can win the confidence of the minorities and who also understands the big business of California.
"Anyone who is tied up with one segment of the political spectrum can't make it.
"It can't be done, it's an impossible task; if a man has this image the party is going to waste a lot of money all for naught.
-- George Christopher, 1965, during his campaign against Ronald Reagan for Governor of California
