Monday morning quarterbacking is not leadership. People chose who they wanted rather than accepting the establishment. They won some and lost some -THEY did this -not the establishment. What did it gain FREEDOM! The power gained by wearing the collar of a master is not freedom -it is delusion...
Well, let’s see. Harry Reid is still in the Senate. Great move on our part. Sigh. We have a complete liberal boob up in Connecticut and could have at least lived with a guy that was conservative 40% of the time, but now we get one that is conservative 0% of the time.
It took many years to get to this point and will take years to undo this mess. I see a good long term beginning where you see short term failure... It seems you focus alone on central government victory -the fed --asi if 'us' in power in DC is the goal. WRONG! The goal is individual power -local power... Replacing their king with our king would be simply more of the same...
It’s all about being smart. I want conservative candidates, too. More importantly, I want to win. In certain states, having a conservative candidate on the ballot is an automatic loss and we need to be smart.
In my opinion it is all about being principled. Without moral principle the only difference between a single issue fiscal conservative and a single issue nanny state leftist is who gets the money e.g. who is in power to promote taking or promote keeping with both camps driven primarily by selfish greed that place national interests always secondary...
No different with certain issues. Do you want Obama to win a second term? Then be smart. If you don’t want him to win a second term, we pound him on economics and jobs and foreign policy. Go down these social issues at THIS POINT IN TIME means 4 more years of Obama. Address the social issues in 2014, but not in 2012.
This isn’t hard, but we’ll screw the pooch again on this I’m sure.
In my opinion, the 'social' issues are going to be addressed whether you like it or not. This uprising is principled and not simply driven by greedy self interest as you imply... People are fighting for America and our posterity
LOL. Monday Morning Qbing? Are you joking? Some of us, the bright ones anyway, were saying this MONTHS in advance of them even winning their primaries. Hardly MMQB.
We do this crap every couple of years and you guys then wonder how it is that Obama gets elected, wins a 2nd term (likely if we play this string out)...how it is that someone as God awful as Reid is re-elected...etc.
Some people fail to grasp the obvious. There is a point to where you do more harm than good by allowing ultra left liberals to control gov’t. Sometimes it requires having to back someone that isn’t as conservative as you or I would like, but when we don’t do that we get Harry Reid for another 6 years.
Some day we will learn, but I’m sure it won’t be any time soon.
