Strawman there. Our choices haven’t been 0% or 75%. They’ve been 0% (donk) or 25% (GOP) conservative, and that’s being charitable.
But every time we try to push for even 50% conservative, we run into screams of “too conservative,” “not electable,” “gotta be more pragmatic,” blah blah blah. This despite the fact that the electorate is firmly center-right.
The irony is that when we run real conservatives or even somewhat conservatives, WE WIN (paraphrasing Rush). Heck, even in New Jersey! When we run the “pragmatic” choice ala McCain, we LOSE.
It’s really not that complex.
Wrong. Even the worst Republicans are better than that.

Snowe: 47.88%

That is so correct! It’s the stupid leadership that doesn’t get it. Why are they so dense? If we could get a fiscal conservative as a top runner - it should be such an easy win after Obamanomics.
And they need to close the primaries. That’s also how we got McCain. At least someone was smart enough to throw fiscally conservative, pro-life Sarah Palin in there once they figured out they were going to lose. Even she couldn’t bring it out thanks to the MSM.

Sheesh. Are these numbers supposed to impress us? Your use of the term 'Strawman' is validated by the above response.
