My only hope is that the Purist Party Members (R), who sat on their hands in 2008 and 2012, have come to their senses by now.
Not if it's Jebbie!
We win with a principled conservatives. That's why 2014 was such a beyond-expectation victory. The 'pubs govern as sell out fools, and as a result they've lost all respect.
What could be clearer? A lot of us demand a Constitutional Conservate nominee. Otherwise, we'll stay home or vote third party.
If it's Jeb or Christie (or an equally disgusting choice) I'd be angry enough to vote for the dem!
Is that what you mean be "coming to our senses"?
Cruz or lose
Valid point. The sit at home types may/may not change but the average joe/jane needs to get out there!
Several things have changed in the last election. First of all voter fraud has come down considerably in Florida. Photo ID is now law and cleared by the SC. Plus, as in the last election Rs turn out was normal, but the RATS had a good turn out according to the press reports. BUT Gov. Scott won...which means a lot of Democrats turned their votes.
Electoral politics is a waste of time and resources. If we as conservatives (however defined) spent 10% of the time we spend discussing politics on doing something useful like, oh, growing a garden, starvation would be a memory. If we spent 10% of our politics time running a sideline business, prosperity would skyrocket. If we spent 10% of our politics time evangelizing or worshiping God, the moral rot would start disappearing.
But no, we continue to discuss how voting for this candidate or that will provide better or more efficient control. Or how this tweak or that rewording of the Constitution will provide more enlightened control. Yet we don’t come to the logical conclusion that all we’re really talking about is, well, the details of control and who we think will most capably wield the whip.
I think the whole damnable thing is a waste of time and resources and incredibly discouraging. Not to mention soul sucking, cynical, and evil. So am I a member of the purity party because I insist that any candidate I choose to waste my time with be at least a staunch conservative who shares some of my views?
