I’m not telling you anything except the Democrat IS ALWAYS WORSE.

If you haven’t figured out that simple fact there is nothing else to discuss. Not Voting for the Republican in the General or wasting your Vote on a Third Party Candidate whose name won’t be remembered a day after the Election ONLY HELPS THE DEMOCRAT.

THE DEMOCRAT won’t give you the time of day when they are in Office, so what do you think you win? Don’t bother answering, the result is sitting in Oval Office as we type.

Do your best during the Primaries to convince enough people that YOUR Candidate is the Man to beat. If you fail, don’t empower the DEMOCRAT running in the General. It’s simple.

Call Mark Levin if you require any further clarification.

Can't imagine why not. Democrats seem to do fine on the "I'm Going To Ram So Much Government Up Your Ass So Hard It's Going To Come Out Your Nose" platform, and get elected. And then they do it!

You won’t have a say in what’s for Dinner if you’re not inside the House. Standing outside screaming isn’t the answer.

When one is not welcome at house much less the table, (even after they took your money and vote for the dinner), a smart person leaves to his own house to make his own table and find his own dinner.

The liberal GOP has certainly empowered the democrat when conservatives got nominated in spite of them.

It's a two way street.

You are telling me that I need to vote for the pro-abortion, gun grabbing, socialized medicine liberal republican candidate. You just aren't willing to say that out loud, because it would expose you as a liberal enabler.

I win nothing when a liberal republican wins an office. I want to see all liberal republicans defeated in the general election until running as a liberal republican is the political kiss of death.

Just what I suspected. Classic GOP-E, Mr. Carson.

And for once, my tagline is apropos.

Call Mark Levin if you require any further clarification.

You obviously have not been listening lately or bothered to read his latest book.

There is NO FIXING Washington from inside Washington or from the two Parties.

Those are Levin's own words, and they speak the truth.

Whatever you say. I just choose to ignore the Proclamations emanating from any Democrat Politician.

In fact, I think just by living in CA think I am violating a myriad of Laws, knowingly or not, especially concerning my Firearms.

As I like to say, Compliance with Tyranny is Treason.

Conservative won’t save America by continuing to compromise. They can no longer compromise. Compromise is liberal word for do it “our way”.

Paging Dr. Ben Carson, paging Dr. Ben Carson, you are not wanted in the White House (a play on a local Indy, and elsewhere I assume, ad to get him to run) if you’re gonna be a Democrat Light. We’ve been compromising out our @$$ since Regan left office. And the country’ seen going down the toilet ever since.

Actually, Americans haven't been compromising so much on the 2nd Amendment (Does not apply in NY, DC, CA or other liberal hellholes). We've made some gains back toward the Constitution in that particular regard.

Dr Carson, if the GOP elected especially in the U.S. Senate stood by us even 80% of the time we would not be in a lot of this mess. When you have the likes of McCAIN, Rand Paul, Corker, Alexander, Graham, McCAIN, Collins, Flake {usually siding with McCain}, Hatch who folds when you really need him, McConnell, Rubio, and more I'm sure others can name I see the complaint is just plain surrendering.

Compromise can be done but the GOP doesn't hold the line to obtain a compromise because they're afraid they'll be called mean Conservatives. The GOP Legislative could not get it's collective act together even with a sitting GOP POTUS. No indeed sir they done just the opposite. They wrote laws and sign programs into existence Ted Kennedy alone was never able to accomplish in 50 years.

I am not telling you anything except the Democrat is always worse than any Republican.

Again, for the third time, it is up to YOU to get YOUR Primary Candidate into the General Election. Because YOU fail to do that, don’t help the Democrat win the General.

I realize you like to insinuate that I am now a RINO lover, but that isn’t the case. I always support the Conservative Republican in the Primary, ALWAYS.

When it comes to Primary Candidates, I am right there with you. I will not enable any Democrat to secure a General Election win. Again, Primary versus General, period.

Let me know when the pissing contest is over. I’m done repeating the same thing over and over again.

Agreed. There are some points that cannot be compromised. There was a thread asking for sayings that Freepers heard while growing up. I cannot remember who it was that posted something to the effect of: “When there is both a right and wrong point of view, a compromise will always result in the wrong outcome.”

We wouldn’t be having this conversation if pastors would preach on the moral issues of the day, stand against the tide of evil in this land, and tell their congregations to pray, repent, and vote for candidates who line up with their beliefs, not their pocketbooks.

2 Chronicles 7:14 is the responsibility of every pastor, every believer.

Well, some things are inviolate, or should be, regardless of the Elliot Rodgers out there.

But thr GOPe is too wishy washy on too many things. Dem-O Lites.

And they really are less fulfilling, and taste like crap.

So is Compromise in this day and age.

You are capable. Mark has his shows archived on his site. You might want to listen to the show that aired the day after the KY Primary.
