“How evil does a candidate in a general need to get before being passed up even if the least bad viable choice... and why”
Good question
My list;
Supports gun control
supports special homosexual rights
supports abortion
supports government controlled health care
supports cap and trade/global warming
..... and on an on you get the idea?
One or more of these is good enough for me on the evil scale. Romney has “in fact” checked them all off at one time or another no matter what lies he is telling today.
I am old enough where any jerking my knees do is due to arthritis.
As to what the republicans put up for the primaries? You got me. I am not a republican partially because they have no principle as a party and have done nothing but run big spending big government trash since Reagan. If it was up to the republican party alone the Wisconsin outcome would have been different.. The tea party saved their day and thats no jerking opinion thats fact....
You will get mush answers for at least one of these (especially with your “and on and on”) out of virtually anybody but Jesus Christ.
Methinks out of your obsession about not “jerking a knee” in one direction, you jerk it oppositely, resulting in about equal irrelevance.
