If people would stop supporting RINOs out of the fear that the RINOs, their backers and the media stir up, you would not have this problem. Fear of a candidate not having enough moderate aka/socialist support is not a valid reason to reject a conservative. Do what is right. Support the conservative candidate and let God sort out the rest.
Don’t turn to the most liberal candidates in the race and say, let’s support them because they can win moderate support. That is precisely what happened in 2008 with McCain. Observe, there is no President McCain.
We will never win by digging deeper. There is no help for us as long as we keep digging that hole. Supporting RINOs is digging deeper. Just stop.
Wouldn't that be great? The problem is that it isn't reality. The middle of America is who decides elections and they need to see an engaging conservative in order to begin to change their minds.
All things being perfect, or correct, we would have a leader emerge who can walk tall and inspire the people to follow and support him. But all things are not correct. That is why the country has [over the years] allowed our congress and justice departments to devolve into cesspools of political corruption.
Our current crop of 'leaders' have come up through this system and it is all they know. Deal making, bribes, self interest and legal embezzlement are the pillars of the modern politician. As the song says, "when you stand for nothing, you'll fall for anything".Maybe the young and untarnished stars like Marco Rubio and Mike Lee will stay true to their values and someday lead us from the darkness. Until then, I think we have to be smart enough to understand that today's objective must be to send Obama and his cadre of thugs back to the snake pit in Chicago. Then we can focus on moving further back toward pride and morality. But, I don't think we can fix everything in one jump.
With any luck this election cycle will become a referendum against both Obama and the communist fifth column in the media. And with any luck the republicans will not set conservatism back with highly visible nastiness like many are displaying on this website. That would only serve to further alienate the middle that decides America's elections.
