Won’t stop the Freeper left from using them to help derail conservatives in the primaries. Again.
We got so hung up on ideological purity that the worst possible candidate didn't have to do much except avoid throwing up all over himself. This time at least, he will have a formidable match in Bush, and perhaps Christie.
The point is to get behind one candidate on the other side of the party. Early. From where I was sitting, it really sucked hearing how Santorum, Bachmann, Cain, and (yes, even) Gingrich and Perry were not conservative enough. Regularly. Because all it accomplished was to make the worst possible choice inevitable.
We’ve tried McCain and failed. We’ve tried Romney and failed. We could try something different this time like... a conservative nominee. Just a thought...
