Conservatives, Stop Falling in Love with Politicians

Liz Cheney’s not a good example. She’s in the deepest red state in the entire country. That’s a very bad example.

Liz Cheney is a great example. Here's a deep red state where a Republican can of beer could be elected and the RINOs still insist on backing her despite her having attacked real Republicans and even voting to impeach President Trump as part of a Democrat fraud.

Supporting her explodes the RINO lie that picking the lesser of evils is necessary to win.

Seems like a last-ditch effort to resurrect a faltering campaign and outlook. AFAIC, there are too many machinations in this Republican Primary that violate Reagan’s 11th Commandment Rule......

A primary is EXACTLY where you DO vote your conscience. It’s where the real conservative wheat gets separated from the RINO chaff.

Just based on the post traffic here at FR, there seems to be more FIGHT and KICKBACK in this primary race than RINOs would EVER put up during a general election against a Democrat.

In order to be a ‘better’ candidate, the candidate must have a decent chance to win.

“A perfect example is Liz Cheney. The good people of the Wyoming Republican Party threw her out yet the RINOs back her. She’s gotta go.”

I don’t disagree but until one can field a republican who can beat any democrat running, all you will do is elect a democrat. An example of what I’m talking about is the candidate who had to put out an campaign commercial stating she wasn’t a witch. You have to vet your candidates. Perhaps we should have done a better job vetting Cheney.

...despite her having attacked real Republicans and even voting to impeach President Trump as part of a Democrat fraud.

Which is sad. Once upon a time, she seemed like the real deal.
