It is very simple. Most of us are conservatives rather than republicans. Voting for a bad GoP candidate can indeed be worse than the alternative. Consider Cuba as an example... while Castro plunged the island into a communist dump, it was the corrupt administration before him that opened the gate to do it. Corrupt or incompetent republicans give strength to the other side.
The lesser of two evils is not enough. The GoP has a tough choice to make... do you want the Tea party to express their choices in the GoP primaries, or in the general election. When the GoPE plays games to control the primaries... they lose the base for the elections.
When you speak for everyone, I think that’s dangerous.
If most of you are conservatives as you claim, why pray tell could “you” not get behind a candidate in the primary election process of 2012? You and the others did not do that. Oh, I know the claim that the eeeeevil Karl Rove really did fix the election to have Mitt Romney win. I’ve heard that before. Since Romney was not “your” candidate, of course, the hissy fits, temper tantrums and circular firing squads certainly did ensue. Chaos reigned and conservatives were told they couldn’t be a “REAL” conservative if they dared to vote for Romney. You do realize that the election was between Obama and Romney, correct?
AND I’ve heard on this site that MANY of “you” claim you would much rather have Obama as president instead of Romney. Really.
I guess I really do love my country a lot. I don’t like seeing what’s happened to this great country in the past 6 years. My God, we have legalized dope.........and the vulgarities are just out of control. The Steelers aren’t in the NFL Playoffs, the country is falling apart.
