Geeeze ansell, Libertarian, Pro Abortion, Against Conservatism, all in one sentence, about ME!.. But, after what I said, and I meant what I said, I can see how one would see it that way..
Here’s my take, and I hope to mitigate my discomfort, I have been in my own business for more than 50 years, and during those years I have had to reevaluate my positions on many occasions, sometimes to my everlasting regret, but never without a higher, and honorable purpose..
I won’t bore you with my humble beginnings, but lets just say I am the luckiest man alive, but in my background is a few victories that came after my biggest defeats..
Survival, ranks among the leading causes for my acquiescence, and it was always with a plan to resume my efforts to return to my original goals, and I always did..
Many of my most devastating, and demoralizing, setbacks where preludes to my most grand successes, but it was no accident.. I consider myself a practical survivalist.. If I take a step backward, I have a plan to leap 3 steps forward on my next opportunity..
So, I don’t know what anyone else thinks about me or what you or anyone else has to say about it, but, don’t dismiss it out of hand.. I was deeply involved, money and time, in the CONTRACT WITH AMERICA strategy, that brought us back from oblivion in the mid 90’s, working in Newt’s Kitchen Kabinet, around the clock until we took back the Congress..
I am suggesting a strategy to do it again, if we think ahead and stop the infighting, temporally setting our strongly held differences aside to WIN the end game..
I don’t know what you expect from a conservative, you tell me that you are pro-abortion and that we need to quit fighting the culture/social war and become rinos.
That is just an old description of a liberal/libertarian, anti-conservative rino/libertarian.
You even do it calling it “a higher, and honorable purpose..”.
Romney must have been like a hero to you.
