Sigh...can anybody else out there help me explain my position? Namely, that I believe in supporting those who I feel are best qualified to defend the country, and to me that means supporting those who can A: do the job and B: actually get themselves elected. And yes, there are far-right social conservatives who don't get that basing their decisions on who to vote for soley on the basis of ideology can make them just as bad as the moonbats on the left. There's a reason Pat Buchanan didn't get the 1996 Republican nomination, after all.

I know that there are problems in the party. But I would still rather support Guliani over John "I'm still whining because I lost the 2000 primary" McCain, and certainly over Her Hillariness.

For me, as I've already said, it's a matter of conservatives being unifed as a group during this critical time. We need to show that we have real tolerance for our moderates, not just give it lip service like the Libs do.

What do you base your beliefs on if not ideology?

Did someone tell you that ideology is a a bad word?

After all the name calling you've done and continue to do,I'm glad to see you've finally admitted you are unable to explain your position without help.

You might try DU. I'm sure they would be glad to jump in on your side.

Just like a Rino, they only time they ever whine about unity is when they ask Conservatives to give up everything we believe in order to "win".

Conveniently ignoring that the only time we ever win nationally is with a "full Conservative" candidate for President.

They never learn that a Republican can never out left the real left.

P.S. You can't explain your position because your positions are incoherent and based on faulty assumptions.

Namely, that the only way we can win in 2008 is to nominate a mod.

Your premise is flawed and disproved by the election of President Bush and Ronald Reagan.

I heard the exact same arguments in 1976 and 1980 by Rino's opposing Ronald Reagan.

We all know how that turned out.
