Sticks and stones...
But I would hope that we ALWAYS run conservatives who can get moderate votes.
If Ryan gets past the primary, it will because he won the moderate votes, yes that is a good thing. But in the absence of a large quantity of Conservative votes, it should be viewed as troublesome.
But of course then you blew it in the next post with the "Mr. Moderate" crack and your insistence he isn't a real conservative. Get a grip!
The person who needs to get a grip is you sir. If you cannot take all my words in the context they are written, you are not doing yourself a favor by posting. I called him Mr. Moderate because his win will be marked solely by moderate votes. Once again for your interminable illiteracy, I did not say he wasn't a Conservative. In fact in the post prior, which you read, and I trusted CL would read, I indicated just that.
I'll say it one more time for ya, k? Mr. Moderate is a Conservative whose claim to the Republican primary will be based on overwhelming support from the moderate base of the Republican party. Conservative votes will be split between Rauschenberger, Oberwiess, and Borling, with a smattering of illiterate intellectual Conservatives voting for Ryan. :p
It's hard to credit that because it has no basis in reality. According to the polls, Jack Ryan leads among self-described conservatives, moderates, and liberals, with about the same percent in each.
Borling? You have a strange idea of 'conservative'! Why would the most 'moderate' candidate be drawing many conservative votes? For that matter, why Rauschenberger or Taliban Jim? Jack Ryan is more conservative than both.
What state and what race are you talking about? 'Cause it ain't this one!
