You think Feingold gets us closer to where we want to be?

Re-read my post and let me know what part is confusing you about whether I prefer Feingold to Johnson. I think you will find that nothing in that post says anything of the kind. But you sure are quick to play the "bad Republican is better than a democrat" card. With Johnson, that is still the case, but he is disappointing. With many others, it is becoming clear that it is not necessarily the case. As a recent article mentioned, conservatives might be better off with Harry Reid still majority leader, since Harry Reid's agenda can get passed with House support now, after McConnell pushes it through the Senate.

If conservatives are so naïve as to believe that we have to wait until we get a perfect conservative to change America, then how did we end up winning on guns and abortion?

Change real change, happens from the ground up. We have to capture the thoughtspace and to do that we’ll need to end government school education. Right now the big fight to to keep the FCC and the FEC out of the Internet.

Ron Johnson or any other Senator is going to moderate once they get elected. Cruz has moderated quite a bit already. It’s the nature and intent of Republics to moderate and avoid the vagaries of revolution and swift change. Liberals have forced swift change on us, but they’re losing.

So in Wisconsin who are you going to get to beat Ron Johnson and be this ideal candidate?

Better to work to defeat Feingold, a person who did real damage to our republic with his election reforms aka incumbent reelection laws. The fight is generational and always will be. We need to make strategic changes and dominate the thoughtspace to win. That’s already happening.
