What will never end is how the Republicans/conservatives hammer away at people who are our people. This website hammered Romney unceasingly and were it not for so called conservatives like those on this board being so negative for so long, we might be saying president elect Romney. I’m really sick of people bashing the Bushes. If they win, then they win. If you want purity, enter a monastery for crying out loud.
If by 'purity' you mean a candidate that doesn't hold what I believe in contempt, then yes I want purity.
"Our people"? You have seriously missed the boat if you think Romney, McCain, and Dole are "our" people.
Don't you understand that they lost because they could not make the sale to conservatives? What is so hard to grasp about the fact that people will vote for someone who strongly reflects their values, and that they'll only give grudging and lukewarm support to those whose records prove they do not?
Give conservatives someone who fearlessly champions all we believe in, and that person will have support coming out of the woodwork.
I'd agree with that. Anybody who can actually get the nomination is attacked for being a sell-out in comparison to candidates who can't get nominated or don't actually exist.
But perhaps Jeb may be a spoiler if he runs, splitting the moderate vote. If conservatives get behind one candidate maybe having Bush in the race could actually benefit that candidate.
It’s not purity we’re asking for. ...It’s Constitutionality! None of the current elite of the GOPe represent that. ...None.
