And therein lies the problem with our side of the aisle. Any candidate will have some issue that a bunch of so called purists will find undesirable to the point where they magnify and twist it so far out of shape that it is a poison pill and reason to vilify the candidate. Since we can't have a perfect candidate, we might as well leave the Dims in control and then moan about how this once great Nation falls deeper into the sewer because we just can't find the perfect candidate to get behind.
And herein lies the problem with you and those that think like you. First off, the opposite of purity is corruption so of you think you score points by driving people away from, rather toward an ideal, you need to admit a philosophy other than right wing conservatism.
Second, you can wrap a total sellout of TEA/Conservative/AMERICAN and Constitutional ideals in whatever Dior/Gucci BS you want. Rubio approves of some version of the DREAM act. That is not arguable by anyone dealing in the truth. That little detail of his goes against not only the above, byt slaps millions of past and future legal immigrants in the face.
As stated earlier. One hardcore conservative wannabee was all for and specifically stated that moderating our collective abortion stance to big tent the party and attract moderates was in fact, a good and desirable thing...before the Lord thy Mod did crank the generators.
Several more are saying openly that we have to go left and be more centrist. Do any of you have clue one as to what FR, much less Conservatism about?
So please. Join the ranks of people that make excuses for illegals and help push the already left-sprinting GOP closer by the day to becoming admitted democrats.
But first, please list all the issues you ‘feel’ that we need to back off on. I am sure the conservative purists such as myself here would love to hear what else we are wrong about.
