I know that for every conservative who wants to say they will never vote for a republican in the general election if they aren’t conservative, there is a moderate who says they will never vote for a conservative republican in the general election.
Which is fine, nobody has to vote for anybody, but you will never be in the majority if you refuse a majority vote. It pisses me off when a conservative wins a fairly-fought primary and the moderates refuse to accept the results, and I imagine that moderates get similarly pissed off if they win the primary and conservatives walk away.
But I know who DOESN’T get pissed off — the democrats, who find elections easy pickings when the conservatives and moderates of the republican party refuse to support each other’s candidates in the general elections.
There are certainly candidates that are so far out of the republican mainstream that we are better off letting the democrats win (Chafee and Specter, anybody?)
And for those conservatives who are happy to never win another election, that’s fine — I’m not asking anybody to give up their principles, just making sure they understand what their principles and actions mean.
When I go into a general election, I vote for the person who has a chance of winning who will do the least damage, which almost always will be the republican candidate. With any luck, the primary will have chosen a conservative, but if there are no solid conservatives in the general election, I still don’t want the liberal democrat to win.
Because if 2006-2008 has shown us nothing else, it is that democrats who have the power to control the agenda in washington ARE much worse than RINO republicans stabbing us in the back.
I’m sorry you feel that way!
Sometimes a man HAS to choose wether he is willing to fight or just go along. Some of us heve reached that breaking point to fight.
I’m not going to bore you with a litany of reasons because it would do no good.
My breaking point has been reached, so I will do what I can do and hold my head proudly knowing that I fought as hard as I could!
What will you do?
I could not agree more, CharlesWayneCT. Well said and spot on!
Do you have ANYTHING about which is your “line in the sand”????? Or are you just another squishy, whiny sheeple???
