Tonight should put an end to the "If the GOP would just run a real conservative, we'd win every time" rant, shouldn't it?
They just don't get it......
Who has ever said "we'll win every time" with a conservative candidate? All I know is that the GOP was a minority party until it nominated a conservative - Reagan - for president. A lot of conservative Republicans are losing tonight - and a lot of liberal Republicans are losing tonight (think Chafee, DeWine, Nancy Johnson). It's a bad night to run as a Republican, unfortunately.
I hope so. Being a "real conservative" doesn't excuse you if you do nothing but spend and take money from crooked lobbyists.
Never happen..It's still being said on this thread.
Not from the looks of some of the posts on here.
Like here's one from terriergal:
So you might as well 'throw your vote away' on an actual conservative, or a Constitution Party candidate.
This is the wartime hero who jumps up and runs screaming into no mans land and gets killed for no gain at all.
I doubt that very much. Stupid people never learn.
They don't have to run a super conservative agenda, but they DO need to stand up and fight. Most of them are jellyfish. They cave in, apologize, step down, on and on, while the rats run roughshod over them and fight tooth-and-nail for everything they want every inch of the way.
Bot for those impervious to reality.
