Sir, I respect your views and strong emotions. I on the other hand, see a declining electoral map for the GOP, and Akins of the world contributing more to its shrinkage. We can live in a fantasy world, or start expanding our electoral map. The choice is at least still available. Blaming the media is not going to change a damn thing. As we all know.
“We can live in a fantasy world, or start expanding our electoral map.”
If I have to compromise my faith and values to “start expanding our electorial map”, then I’ NOT for expanding it. I try to work in harmony, as much as possible, with other viewpoints in the GOP. However, I will not compromise on basic principles that define me.
I have never been for a “Big Tent” view of the GOP. Big tents are only useful for a circus, and that is all you get with a big tent is a circus with no order or direction.
In my world view, if I have to vote for a person that is not pro-life or anti-homosexualism to get more people into the GOP, then I do not care to get more people into the GOP. That is just to bring in Dem think under the name of GOP in name only.
To have that big tent means we have to go to the mushy middle....were I don’t want our country to be.
