I know that makes logical sense, but you don’t sell or expand your Conservative base unless you explain why it’s a great ideology. For all intents and purposes, our leaders are embarrassed by Conservatism.
They don’t think it is a sound enough belief system to win others by mere appeal and logic.
I honestly don’t understand that. If you don’t think our beliefs are solid, then switch to a party whose beliefs you do have faith in. Then let us get back to cleaning up this mess.
By going the route of gender and race based appeal, we are denigrating Conservatism. It certainly deserves better...
At the risk of being a broken record the R party has a nominee who is a certified liberal, or at least a RINO, who has taken on a bunch of positions that he cant defend because he doesnt believe in them. To make matters worse we are lectured that we must defend and promote him (I cannot) anyway or we all die, as with Mccain in 2008.
You must know that the Romney/Rove/Mccain team has decided that the election cant be won defending some of those 'conservative' positions he took.
This is a recipe for disaster. So when Romney fails that is not a reflection of conservatism when (if) conservatives join him?
Our local radio station was replaying Levin from last night going after Romney for not taking a stand on Chick-fil-A. I am not going to specifically recommend that he do that right now but this is an indication of the problem above. Romney cannot defend these things because he doesnt believe in them.
First GWB, then McCain, now Romney. disaster.
