“The fiscal conservatives and the RINO elites need to accept the real conservative candidates. They need to stop insisting on pure candidates.”
Oh my....where to start?
We will elect a fiscal conservative in 2012 who cuts federal spending in a big way, or fiscal conservatism will be forced upon us.
It may be too late anyway.
There is no other issue except fiscal conservatism and reducing federal spending significantly. Nothing else matters.
So, you want to elect a GOP bus driver to drive off the cliff, that’s fine. I want to try to stop the bus from driving over the cliff.
I want to elect a leader that matters. If it’s not a fiscal conservative, then we all lose.
When it comes to what we face in the near future, we cannot afford another status-quo political pragmatist from either party.
What Barbour is saying is for conservatives to go screw themselves - they aren’t going to get anything out of the GOP this election, same as the last one, and the one before that.
If it’s not a fiscal conservative, then we all lose.
Of course, but if you go on that one facet of conservatism you will lose the Constitution, the culture and ultimately the fiscal issues as well.
