I suggest you read these threads.”
I just read read all the threads in both posts and saw a lot of opinion and blind hatred. Missing were concrete facts necessary to affect a thinking man’s position. Show me a vote. Show me something concrete. Flaming and ridicule is not how conservatives are going to take this country back. Showing citizens why the current government is wrong for them and then showing them a clear free enterprise alternative is the key to success. Slashing and burning someone that you perceive to be only 99% right when he may be the only one on our team who stands a chance to win an election may be the path to throwing away our opportunity to stop the Obama socialist program.
Even though we may be hard core purists, we have to have enough of us AND those close enough to us in office or we are doomed. Few are perfect, but many are needed.
I will always back the most conservative candidate that stands a chance of winning. If Romney is the most conservative candidate in Massachusetts that can possibly win, then you should hold your nose and vote for him and even donate to the campaign. He may not run, but I hope he does. Who else is there to take the seat from the democrats who will surely put up a 100% socialist rubber stamp for Obama?
I am as conservative as anyone you will ever find. My hard core credentials go back to 1962 when I worked my first campaign. I have elected more conservatives to office than anyone else you will ever find. Once in a while you have to settle for the best available. We probably all held our nose in the hope McCain would die in office and Sarah would become president, so we voted for the republican. I suspect we will not find a more conservative candidate in Massachusetts than Romney THAT CAN ACTUALLY WIN THE SEAT VACATED BY THE “LYIN’ LIBERAL KENNEDY”.
Obama must be stopped. We have to use all the political weapons in our arsenal. Fratricidal conflict that self defeats our potential allies only guarantees our defeat. Someone that votes with us most of the time is far better than one that votes with us none of the time.
I remember some conservatives complaining that Reagan was not conservative enough. I hear people complain that Rush Limbaugh is not this or that. I have heard that Newt Gingrich is not charismatic enough. The simple truth is that these men have done more to promote freedom and assure our safety in the modern era than any others. They molded public opinion and taught Americans that a free constitutional republic must be maintained in spite of the avalanche of criticism from the left and the backbiting from small minded purists on the right.
To govern, you have to get elected.
Who do you think can be the most conservative candidate in Massachusetts that can be ELECTED? Show me who.
Bye, troll.
