“***That is not true. Folks who come onto a conservative website and try to separate conservatives from their conservative principles are not conservative. They’re republicans, yes, but they are not conservative. Their purpose is to sow discord among conservatives, and they achieve that goal daily here on FR. If they were really conservative, they’d be focusing on the RINO squishes and mushy middle.”
I agree with you brother. There are still Romney supporters on this site that hide under the guise of ABOs. I think Dr. Keyes makes a pretty good case against the ABO position. I have repeatedly said the same thing...”You cannot fight evil with evil.”
Yup.
As I'm continually reminding other posters: I'm not a Republican; I'm a conservative. The Republican party never, ever gets to simply take my vote for granted -- they have to earn it, each and every time out, by running candidates whose views on the issues (as demonstrated by their previous track records, while in public office) reasonably align with my own... and I'm the only person on the face of the planet capable of judging whether or not they have, in fact, genuinely done so to my own satisfaction.
They didn't. I won't.
They can try a little harder next time out, if my vote is so supremely important to them (as I certainly do keep hearing, hereabouts).
