I read it. You read it again. I agree with his premise and I agree that Cheney is showing the way, but his interchanging of terms makes it read as though conservatives won’t fight. Liberal republicans won’t fight their liberal democrat friends. That’s the problem. Grassroots conservatives want to see republican “conservatives” fight for principle. They won’t.
Conservatives outside the party are impotent, malcontents who accomplish nothing. There are plenty of "grassroots" conservatives in the GOP who fight everyday. Get out of your basement.
