You argued with me over Scozzfava. You said we were liars. You claimed we hadn’t read her record. When I pointed out to you she voted in favor of coddling pedophiles and in FAVOR of gay marriage, you stopped responding.
Now you say that we should support RINOS because they have Rs after their name and tell us we are nuts if we don’t. I gave you the perfect examples of WHY they are more dangerous than staightup ugly dems, and you change the subject completely.
So, in keeping with your premise, would YOU have voted for Jim Jeffords? That is a yes or no question.
We conservatives fought a long, hard fight to get control of the Senate, and with one R who WASN’T, everything we fought for was gone in an instant.
Don’t tell me I am clueless if you refuse to see the ugly truth in front of your eyes.
YES. obama is our enemy. Big time. But if we had started earlier, MUCH earlier, ridding ourselves of the Jeffords, the Specters, Snowes, and Collins, McCains, Grahams, Martinezes, Crists, Voinoviches, et al, we wouldn’t HAVE an oblama in the white tent, now, would we?
The R ain’t the holy grail and you ain’t the pope.

I'm not sure if they don't understand strategy or if these people actually are trying to advance a liberal agenda.

Thank you for understanding it. It really isn't that complicated but the extremists certainly don't get it.

Once again, explain to me how supporting Snowe, Collins, Scozzafava, etc. are strategically advancing conservatism?

And mighty upset that I set your strawman on fire, aren't you.
You're mad that I answered your question, yet you won't answer which article of the bill of rights you are willing to do without.

IIRC it was RWR who said that "half a loaf is better than none." He meant that in a negotiation sense.

That is a very pragmatic and useful philosophy.

Yep. I fear that President Reagan would be run out of FR by many on this thread because he was not ideologically pure enough, and he dared to work with the other side... Compromise seems to be a dirty word around here!

Either you have me confused with someone else or you're a liar because I never said these things. I have no idea what you're talking about. Please be honest and rational because this is crazy.

Anyone who supported Scozza tells me all I need to know about their ‘conservatism’. The only difference between her and Obama, other than skin color and gender, was the R behind her name.

Yes, you did.
Now answer the question: Which article of the Bill of Rights are you willing to let go?

Well, in all fairness, Bono is a raving, liberal nutjob. Do you really think this won’t have any effect on Mack? However, until he starts acting and voting like a liberal whacko like his wife, then in my opinion, he stays. Look at James Carville and Mary.

Here’s yer strawmen by the way.
FR is private property.
Conservatives understand the concept.
You obviously do not.

How much more simple does that need to be for some?

First, we have to eliminate Scozzy. She doesn't count for anything. I've said time and again, those responsible for this debacle are those Republicans in that district who voted for the county chairs who voted for Scozzy.

She was a disaster from the git go. Forget it. Done. Move on.

As far as the others, it matters if they had primary opponents. That is where we worry about getting rid of RINOS. After the primary, it's too late to worry about getting rid of them. After the primary, we MUST vote Republican to stop Dimocrats who are worse than RINOs.

Republican ALWAYS equals more conservative than Democrat.

So, you would vote for Scozzafava over a Democrat like Zel Miller?
