Say wuh?
Is that the "principled conservative view? Sounds like someone trying to justify not getting invested in what they preach.
In your world, what status does a good candidate's funding have to deteriorate to before one should bump up the coffers and how does the funding of the real evil in the game play into that equation (Hillary is estimated as going to have about $2 billion at her disposal).
Also, how long should one engage in vocal support before one is ready to spread his wings/open his checkbook to try to insure we get a conservative candidate in the final equation? Since some are always harping about not compromising by voting the lesser evil, one would assume that the same folks spouting off would be avid supporters of the most conservative choice(s) and be willing to spend whatever it took to try to boost said candidates.
On planet Mormie, support is about a lot more than just raw cash. You seem to have the belief of the major political parties where anything can be solves with sufficient funding, votes bought and the standard ‘throw money at it’ philosophy of government. Yet you are troubled by a system that tries solving anything by throwing money at it from taxpayers in endless quantities.
Sure money is needed. And Cruz is having no issues materializing it at will. Millions at a time. I see no desperation pleas from him or his campaign.
People have the mindset that ‘well I sent $20 so I did my part” and then come here and let leftists run wild trashing him left right and sideways while siting silently and letting the left here steer the debate. They do the same thing in real life at the church social, the VFW abd the Walmart checkout line. They don’t campaign, try convincing their friends and co-workers, none of the non cash things that are what win elections on the ground.
Thats how it works in my world. There’s more to ‘support’ than just check writing.
Your home page says that you are a Mississippian. Did you vote for Thad Cockroach or Chris McDaniel in the Mississippi primary? Did you vote for Cockroach in the general as instructed by Haley Barbour? Why?/Why not?
Romney? Obozo? or a candidate reflecting Western Civilization and its traditional values? What would a truly fine man like John Stennis have done?
In politics, $$$$$ is only good for obtaining votes. A candidate who offers voters NOTHING worth voting FOR will not win no matter how much money he/she lavishes on media outlets for paid propaganda. Romney had nothing worth voting FOR (unless the voter was a leftist airhead which constituency was cornered easily by Obozo). Therefore Romney lost and his financial suckers lost and his voters lost. America lost on the day Romney was nominated. That was NEVER in doubt.
If you've got another poisonous excuse for a candidate up your sleeve, pour YOUR money into him to your heart's content all the way to bankruptcy court if you like, but if you had $2 trillion to give Romney, he STILL would not win.
Man up and move on.
