You know what cracks me up about all this?
If we lose the House, Republicans are going to think they have to be MORE moderate and when they run again, it will be from a left of center position.
So freepers and voters who think it's wise to deliver a lesson and not vote are just plain naive.
Precisely!!!!
If the "blackmail" voters who have found a "base" in the GOP sit home this year (thinking that if we lose, we'll go running to them to lead the party) are really too dumb to realize that the exact opposite will happen: the GOP will finally realize what kind of "voters" they really are and will desert them and move the "mushy middle."
Then those "real, true" conservatives REALLY won't have anybody that will even CONSIDER listening to them.
They cannot figure out that if they really WERE the majority in the GOP, which they continue to claim," they'd be LEADING the party, not threatening it!
I think that you are correct. The next lot of candidates would want to get more votes, and they would follow the old prescription to move to the center, not to the right.
Voting for Democrats will just get you more Democrats, now and in the future. Voting for the Republicans will at least give us a chance to move the Republicans more to the right.
"If we lose the House, Republicans are going to think they have to be MORE moderate and when they run again, it will be from a left of center position."
If 'they' are that stupid and do run to the left, then they will lose again.
Do you think that conservative voters will just go away after this election? Do you think that we will become or RINOs or socialists?
Think girl. The GOP knows that it is angry conservatives who are refusing to vote for RINOs and other bums. Everyone knows that it is because (some) these guys haven't been conservative ENOUGH!
This isn't the end of conservatism. It's only the beginning.
