Without a definition of ‘Conservative’, it’s hard to take the author at face value (though I, being a (L), agree with some of his points.
As a (L), for me, the driving factor is the Constitution. And if one only pays lip service (as the GOP has done for quite a many year now), they don’t get my vote.
I still fail to see how the (L) ‘pulled off’ the failure of the (R) candidate...when 2x as many people STAYED HOME THAN VOTED. That’s the (L) fault? No, that’s a failure of the (R) message at the least.
The only use I have for voting now is on ballot issues where I have an option to say “NO” instead of the two party beauty pagent of meth whore candidates.
Republicans need to demand the national party FIX their candidates. Pick lousy candidates (McCain / Romney) they will realize lackluster support.
No...they do not need to pander to the Hispanic vote either. Fight amnesty and stop trying to put the interest of foreigners over that of American citizens and those going through the process of citizenship the right way.
The GOP is an absolute mess.
