There is right and there is wrong. Only liberals see "nuance".
I can't share this view. There is always right and wrong, but never in perfect shades, and never readily available without decisions. Not in politics anyway. There were many candidates up for President last election, and some of them on the GOP side were rather dubious. Giuliani was pro-abort, and perhaps one or two others, though like Romney some claimed to have changed their position. In the case of somebody arguing for abortion there is probably a pretty clear distinction to work with. But, when faced with whether this one guy's generally conservative position on immigration and very conservative position on taxes is more or less right or wrong than the guy with very conservative position on welfare and generally conservative ideas about affirmative action it is necessarily subjective. Throw in the questions about possible chances of winning, and averting the greater evil, and things can without a doubt get fuzzy. Where something is absolute I can make an absolute judgment, but where things are subjective I am forced to make distinctions and weigh options. If I have to make that decision I can forgive others for making it slightly differently, unless they go completely off the deep end and vote for Kucinech or something.
“Moderate” aka “liberal-ish” or compromising reach-across-the-aisle conservatives lose.
Ever notice that?
Most of them were. Because Dem lites run it.
Romneycare, before Obama thought of it. Romney is pro-abortion. Romney is a Rino. No more RINOS!
In politics, there is right and wrong. Too many don't take it seriously. They believe America is too big to fail. They are wrong.
