Nixon was a big-government liberal who gave us fine conservative policies such as racial preferences and abortion on demand. Reagan was a genuine conservative who made a mistake by bowing to liberals in his own party and appointing O'Connor (who didn't seem so horrible at the time, to be fair). and King George "Read my Lips" I yet another elitist big government liberal. His "conservatism" included raising taxes, kowtowing to the Chinese, yet more racial preferences in addition the moronic David Souter. His appointment of Clarence Thomas, generally a defender of the constitution, was one of the few bright spots in an otherwise Carteresque administration.
Two out of three of the presidents mentioned are clearly liberals. McGovern, Carter and Dukakis are leftists - as are Chaffee, Snowe, and Collins (to name merely three). McCain is nothing more than a mouthpiece for George Soros - bought and paid for. As I say, leftists (and corruptocrats like McCain) need to be removed from the Republican party. The sad truth is that leftists probably control something like 70 percent of the wealth in the country, so they generally get their way.
Wow. Sounds like we're doomed...so here's some less moody, but more pragmatic and realistic propaganda in response.
I know the names of a few students in Ohio who might say Nixon was a conservative when it came to keeping the order. I'd say Nixon was pro-capitalist much like Reagan and Bush. All three men shared a dislike for liberal protesters. The liberal Nixon and Bush were not embraced by hippies, criminals, terrorists, unions, media, and other liberals of their day? They all preferred JFK and Clinton. I wonder what percentage of the population you think is liberal moderate and conservative?
I hope you will grant me as given that some times in life you are faced with choices where no outcome results in perfection. IMO choices in elections are simple. You can choose :
1. Republican,
2. rat,
or 3. don't vote in protest/vote for a 3rd party certain loser/get baked and forget to vote.
I responded to your post #70 where you wrote "If that's the only reason you are staying in the Republican party, it's a false reason to do so." The issue is abortion and presidential nominees for judges. You went on to point out the liberal judges of Nixon, Reagan, and Bush.
I'm glad you remember Thomas, but you neglected to mention Rehnquist appointed by Nixon, and Scalia by Reagan. I am looking for the conservative judges rats have confirmed to the SCOTUS and I see none. O'Connor (who didn't seem so horrible at the time, to be fair), and Kennedy are preferable to Breyer, and Ginsburg. Given that the party in the majority has a distinct advantage over the other party, I believe the party is not strengthened by reducing it's members. I can illustrate it like this (55 Republican Senators - 1 RINO = 54 Republican Senators.)
I further believe that 3rd parties are like a crap shoot. Most times their supporters spend their money and time and have nothing to show for it except the promise that next election the voters will finally be feed up with the 2 party system. I was a little disappointed Joe Bellis (America's Party-Kansas) dropped out just as he was building momentum. Maybe a charismatic figure will putsch his way into the White House some day but he'd better be a billionaire if he wants a serious shot at winning.
The winner will almost always be a Republican or a rat. I think people should pick the most favorable outcome of those 2 choices. Given the choice of Nixon or McGovern, and Bush or Clinton, who would you choose?
