“Still, your idea of being a conservative is recognizably different from our idea of American conservatism here in the Palmetto State, where we actually are working to deny Senator Graham another term.”
Can’t argue with you on that mission. But I guess where we differ is that you seem to think that “whack jobs” like Akin make good legislators. Our Nevada family initially supported Angle, despite her somewhat poor legislative record in the Nevada Legislature. But then she started opening her mouth (a la Akin) with pronouncements that outed her as someone divorced from reality, and she did herself in with the voters. It just isn’t enough to “have the right conservative credentials” because in Nevada, you have to win Clark County and it doesn’t have the tolerance for people like Sharron. So we are putting up with Harry Reid for another SIX YEARS. Do you honestly believe that having Sharron make that happen is a “good thing” because she was “the right” candidate? Yeah, Lowden and Tarkanian were “not as conservative” as Angle, but either would have been manifestly better than Harry. so if that thought process “brands” me as something other than a conservative in you book, I plead guilty.
