Just because many here don't fall inline to the big (R) and support who's popular instead of who's RIGHT for conservatism. Many of us are sick of being stabbed in the back by convenient conservatives who suddenly shift right during an election, and whose records show far more blatant steps toward liberalism. We lived through it with Bush, and with McCain. So you can go ahead and fall for the (R). I won't. At least with Obama I see the knife coming at me. With a RINO, the knife is always in my back.
And if Obama wins, don't even think of blaming those of us who held to our conservative principles: blame those of you who settled for the lesser of two evils.
You never advance conservatism by taking two steps toward liberalism, and one step back to conservatism. Never.
And you're absolutely fooling yourself if you think Rick Perry is the conservative standard bearer.
On your tagline, do you know where the “polls are for strippers and cross-country skiers” came from originally? It’s interesting to trace it back.
It was a big deal in the spring, when it was used in response to a really bad poll for Obama. But that wasn’t nearly the first time it had been used.
Just a fun thing to track down.
