It’s pretty clear the party “pragmatists” didn’t like the conservative nominees, and I don’t doubt there’s some anger at DeMint. However, I really don’t care what the centrists think. When push came to shove, THEY did not enthusiastically back our choices, so THEY have absolutely no right to talk about party unity. Frankly, I’m STILL glad Mike Castle went down in flames! That fact alone makes O’Donnell’s loss more bearable.
We tried the “pragmatic” way before, and the moderates sold us out—even when we had the majority. Say what you will about the Democrats, but at least they actually pushed their agenda forward. Our team shafted us when they had the chance. Yeah, some of us actually want smaller government. A pox on centrist sellouts! Compromise does NOT mean giving the Democrats 80% of what they want.
“Compromise does NOT mean giving the Democrats 80% of what they want.”
Good points. The only compromise I want to see is the left driven completely from public life.
Hallelujah.
The RINOS need to get on board. When Independents are more likely to vote for your candidate than registered republicans, RINOS are 100 percent responsible for not getting behind conservative candidates.
“When push came to shove, THEY did not enthusiastically back our choices, so THEY have absolutely no right to talk about party unity.”
Exactly- and at the same time, they expect us to bend over backwards to get behind McCain (as the Pres. nominee), Fiorina, Whitman, etc., because they are candidates who can supposedly “win”.
