Fighting for your principles IS 'the hard way'...
You're flopping around like a fish on dry land...
Your not fighting for any principles that I recognize. The only people flopping around are the knee jerkin frogs in the conservative bucket.
The RNC has been self destructing for the last four years. What principle says you should damage your political party, in order to save it? What principle, in the Rudy debate, says you should attack him unmercifully as a candidate for your own political party? And it's not just Rudy who's being attacked by the right.
I thought that was supposed to be the purview of the Democrats.
What principles lead you to believe you are doing a good thing?
You keep driving wedges into the party and expect the damage will heal? It's not!
It has become so common now, that we take it for granted the this is the way a political party should behave. It's not!
If you destroy Rudy, then what? Who's next? What other needed segment of the party will you alienate?
You think it is principle that guides you?
It's no principle that I have ever seen. It's not..... It's vindictive hubris by a relatively small segment of the party, but every segment is required to beat the Dems.
If you think for one minute that the loss of the White House in 2008 will somehow make the party more conservative, you are wrong. It's not. It will make them even more desperate and dysfunctional, just as happened to the Dem's. This will go on for some time, and the fact is, that it did not need to happen at all. 2006 was warning, NOT a sign that conservatism was failing or was not conservative enough.. It was a warning that the coalition was breaking down.
Well it's broke now!
Enjoy.......
