Conservatives and Republicans have logged a lot of losses since 1992 because of that mind-set. And our country has been becoming more socialistic as a result of the simplistic thinking that any Republican is better than any Democrat.
While I don’t agree that any R is better than any D, I do agree that any R is better than Obama or Hillary.
That said, I don’t care at all for Romney or Perry and hope like hell that someone else is nominated.
