Add me to the list.
While you’re doing that, add this thought to the mental mulch:
Much time has been spent in the drive-by media and on talk radio as well (e.g. Rush) trying to analyze just who it is that comprises the “Independent” voters, who ultimately decide most elections.
Popular wisdom has it that those folks are “moderates” and that those candidates who have the most “moderate” views (read that as “unprincipled’) will appeal to this bloc.
My opinion is that nothing could be further from the truth. I believe that the great majority of Americans - especially those inclined to vote - are principled people. They take a stand in the way they live their lives and respond to candidates who will do the same.
Sometimes their reasons are thoughtful, even esoteric. But whether they get their opinions from careful reading of history and political philosophy, or just from the gut-felt sense of right and wrong that comes from their Christian and American upbringing, they naturally gravitate toward candidates who echo that sense in their hearts.
They have lines in the sand drawn on many issues, and whether they say it out loud or not, the spirit says “This far and NO FURTHER!” - and today, more have reached that point than ever before since the first American Revolution.
The time is right for a Conservative PAC, a Conservative party and truly Conservative candidates.
Compromise be damned. It serves only the end of evil. There is such a thing as right and wrong and America’s wars were not fought so that perverts, misfits, looters and leeches could feel warm and fuzzy about themselves at our expense.
Exactly. Big Tent = No Principles.
I’m in agreement with your expressed thoughts. I too am sick of compromising with liberals and so called moderates.
