“Forget political party, if the Republicans refuse to field conservative candidates.”


What is this “if the Republicans refuse to field conservative candidates”?

Refuse?

Heretofore, I thought decisions to seek public office were made by individuals interested in holding a particular office.

I'll try and make this as simple for you as I can.

I am not a "Republican". Meaning I am not a member of the Grand Old Party (Political Party).

Therefore I will not vote for or support the candidate that the members of "his/her" political party fielded as their choice.

I could care less how that person was fielded. He/She could have bought their way on to the ballot, they could have been drug, kicking and screaming, to the decision to run. If the GOP fields a candidate who is not conservative I will "forget that political party" in my decision upon who to vote for.

I mean it is a pretty straight forward sentence.

And before you want to engage in an on going debate about the subject, please simply keep in mind that it was you who initiated this exchange. I simply agreed with RegulatorCountry. I, after years of debate here on FR, have adopted the policy of not taking issue with those with whom I disagree. It is usually pointless and takes up more bandwidth that it is worth.
