Well, you responded so I ‘m still on the thread.
Jeff, let me explain it as how I see what you’re doing. You’re rounding up and organizing the most conservative voters (and based on your “guiding principles” we’re talking the most ardent, hardcore conservatives...so conservative in their beliefs you make them take an oath to support each and every point in your platform) and your convincing them...TO VOTE FOR THE CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATE.
Seriously, am I missing something here? These are people that would I would bet a lot of money on them voting for you’re preferred candidate anyway...without you’re guidance!
How have you made a differnce in the outcomes?
Jeff, when you come up with a plan that gets normally swing voters or even dem voters to take a look at and vote for your candidates, causing not only a change in the entire election dynamic but possibly swinging the outcome from defeat to victory, then you got me as a supporter and member.
Now maybe there is something in your plan I am missing and if you can point it out I’m ready to listen. But until then, to me, this is just another conservative feel good effort that is full of flowery rhetoric and good intentions but doesn’t move the ball down the field. At worst it may sap time, money and effort from other ventures that have a much greater ability to produce meaningful change.
Efforts to educate citizens and influence voters that normally wouldn’t vote for candidates who support your principles will go much farther in achieving a conservative ascendancy in America than banding together a bunch of people whose opinions and sensibilities are pretty much already set in stone.
This effort is directed precisely at unifying that vote by getting people focused on the constitution and its principles first and foremost. I believe we can win elections all across this country with such an effort, and I believe we can attract more and more people to it as well.
As to the oath, it's simple. We are asking people to be absolutely serious. To swear or affirm their support for those principles. The times call for it, IMHO, for people being serious about these issues. In reality, we should always have been. IMHO it's part of the eternal vigilance thing.
