“”Too conservative to win” is pretty much how Republican poohbahs analyze most conservative candidacies across the land. It’s been going on for years, and the outcome of this race will strengthen that position. Those who won’t face this are fooling themselves.”
Brown won 89% of votes in the Primary in December, against opponent Jack Robinson (pro-life). Robinson then endorsed Brown.
This was and is the verdict of the people, and it is real world politics.
Those who won’t face this are fooling themselves.
Don't let the truth get in the way of a rant.

They are doing worse - they are telling utter lies about Brown. Pretty pathetic if you ask me - the GOP takes away the Swimmer's old seat, and they crawl out like garden slugs to slime the guy who won.
As did other state pro-life political entities (you know, the kind of folks who help get out the vote instead of just bitching on the Internet).
Good point. Reagan was one who knew the importance of incremental-ism. The Conservative movement has been slowly moving forward incrementally. Eventually, the Snowe’s & Collins’ will be replaced by the Brown’s, & so on. If guys like Keyes & EV had their way, & ran nothing but true blue, rock solid Conservatives in liberal states, the Conservative movement in all likelihood would have been snuffed out by now.
Reagan realized that. That’s why he governed incrementally & often backed those of his party that were less than bedrock Conservatives. He understood that you have to win & lose some battles w/ the hand you’re dealt in order to win the war. Sometimes you have to fight w/ those that are mostly, but not totally of your mindset to win the war. More importantly, these wars are not won overnight.
How do you think the Dem’s were able to take over a few years ago? They won on the heals of conservative Democrats, those that were not fully in their ideological camp. Why have they been losing lately? They forgot what got them there, & have started running nothing but libtards & pushing their unpopular ideology.
Reagan, our standard bearer, knew the art & importance of compromise. Unfortunately, some so-called Conservatives here have yet to learn that principle. It’s all NOW or nothing. The Dem.’s are learning right now just how well that attitude works. Will we?
