That there is the rub - and the answer was provided with pride: I want to win elections. You fight with the army you have. Many here want to purge our ranks then hurl ourselves on Valerie Jarrett’s bayonets while she gleefully twists the blade.
This supposition believes two falsehoods:
1: That the Republican 'army' does not consist of enough Conservatives, so we have to recruit Liberals/Leftists to run on our ticket to appeal to Leftists who are going to vote Democrat anyway…
2: That national elections are "winnable" after a velvet Marxist coup.
Then there are these facts:
The Republican Ruling Class Establishment, that is simply the Infiltration arm of the Democrats, ARE AT WAR with Conservatives, and want them out of the party.
The "vote the lesser of two evils" crowd puts no values on principles and considers politics just a game that is played in D.C. , a race to be won, while the nation continues to lurch off the Marxist cliff NO MATTER WHICH PARTY IS IN CONTROL.
One party simply gets us to the pavement much faster - but the end result is exactly the same: death.
To the lesser of two evils crowd, the 'vote GOP or else' bunch - they consider not voting for a liberal/Socialist with an "R" after the name to be a much greater evil than supporting Obama directly.
In fact, they will accuse you of doing so if you do not vote for the Karl Rovian Candidate working for the MarxoFascists.
The “Lesser evil” And GOP “No matter what” are the reason that the GOP continues it’s lefward march. As such they are the ememies of conservatism every bit as much as a dem.
They work to elect the Rino over the conservative. Primary excuses do not matter. If a person stands on principle the Rino will lose. If they cave in again, especially after the result of the last election that saw the GOP use all those votes Mitt got as permission to adopt his policies, then they deserve what they get.
Unfortunately people put their ‘online friends’ over their country and don’t want to publically oppose their ‘online friends’ on sites like FR. So the RINOs spread their BS largely unopposed, lurkers read it, see ‘consensus’ and vote for the RINO...who then loses since conservatives standing for what the founders intended, won’t put them over the top with their votes.
That basic scenario played out last time and several times before. and unless we stop it now, it will repeat this time.
I don’t subcribe to the parties are the same theory. On energyhealthcare...climate change there are huge differences. And I think winning by losing is absurd. I’ve seen some posters already willing to throw in the towel on the 14 election if they don’t get their way. Valerie Jarrett would squeal in delight if she read those posts. Playing to lose is for candy asses.
