Perfect example of why you don’t compromise to get “electable.”
“Perfect example of why you don’t compromise to get “electable.””
Normally I would agree with you. However, the only reason that this case has a pretty good shot at POTUS defining the 2nd A as an individual right is because we have Roberts and Alito on the bench. If Gore or Kerry would have been elected, is there any doubt that two libs would be on POTUS now to replace O’Connor and Renquist with one of them being the Supreme Court Justice?
John Jay would be turning over in his grave right now, if he’s not already...
I feel your pain. But, when no electable conservative steps up, what do you do? Do you nominate him anyways so that he gets whooped by the uneducated general-electorate and validate the media's perception that the more liberal candidate is always what America wants? Let's face it, we don't have a conservative superstar. Paul, Thompson and Hunter are my favorites (in that order) when it comes to ideas and pro freedom stances, but Paul isn't nominateable and Thompson and Hunter aren't winnable. Flip Romney is our John Kerry so he isn't winnable. That leaves us with Abortiani, McKennedy, and Huckabee. I have to hold my nose and vote for Huckabee until a superstar arises. I would much rather see any of the above in office over Hitlery or Osama-bama.
