If Free Republic had been around in 1980, people would have been posting that Reagan was a Rockefeller Republican RINO for putting George H.W. Bush on the ticket.

If Free Republic had been around in 1860, they also would have been posting that Lincoln was a Southern slaveholder sympathizer for not preaching immediate uncompensated abolition.

And if Free Republic had been around in 1777, they also would have been posting that George Washington was a secret redcoat Tory traitor because he was leading the Continental Army into starvation at Valley Forge and had been angling for a regular British Army commission decades ago.

We can’t keep holding people up to an unattainable standard of ideological or practical perfection and then tearing them down when they fail to meet it.

I like your post here.

So long as Fiorina has all the important issues in common with me (such as being pro-life), and the other option - while maybe slightly more to my liking (or not) - does not have nearly the same chance of winning, why not vote for her?

Amen. The sad thing is that almost no one here will listen to your words of wisdom.

Thank you for posting what most of us think into context.

Bears repeating.
