I’m 75. There only 2 on that list that I remember for being examples of conservative.
This will be my last post to you since you are apparently unable to actually understand what I am saying and are becoming a waste of time. Your list is a list of Republicans, not all are conservatives (e.g. Ken Buck who is not only not a conservative, but did not lose and is actually still in the House) and those that lost didn’t necessarily lose because they were purists. Many on your list were hardly purists A big jump on your part leading to my comment about your ability to understand. The discussion was about purists but you ramble, equating conservative with purist. Additionally your position appears to be that because you think those that stand on principle (what you call purists) are out of favor we should not try to elect them and continue to elect Rinos and GOPs. That hasn’t done us well for decades. Someone mentioned that you were an Indian expat. I hope India has more fight in it when it comes to China than you do when it comes to democrats. Finally, try reading the posts. I never mentioned anything about you being Indian but you posted a screed to me about women’s rights and equality saying how far ahead of the US India is. I hardly think so considering India’s caste system. Try posting to those whose comments you are responding to.
