Sorry, I am still furious at the hatred directed at Bush for the last 8 years here. Can’t tell you how many hours I spent defending him on FR while the democrats played their little games with none of us countering them.
I don’t see any real hope for conservatism for that very reason. There are too many critics demanding that any elected president be their personal Superman to call them daily for orders. If they can find any fault at all in the current daily action (of course knowing nothing about what is doable, what is planned, what battles have been lost), they destroy the man.
Therefore, our candidate will have no support only millions of critics while the democrats toil away with their evil unchallenged.
We do not realize that conservatism is moved forward a step at a time winning where we can, changing tactic where we cannot.
No, they have to have perfection on their schedule or they want to destroy all in the “pie-in-the-sky” dream that the world will wake up once the treasury has been set to pay all expenses for life for Americans, and the world will then be willing to go back to paying their own way to create the perfect world of 150 years ago.
They never understand that you do not turn time back, you can only go forward and you either walk toward conservatism or you walk toward liberalism. Each step determines the direction. It also means sometimes a detour but you regroup and move forward again. Never crash and start over - as the liberals will never be swayed in that direction.
So, until we have mature people in the conservative movement willing to work as a team - we are lost. And you will notice that the liberals do not have this problem. They work as a team or else. That is why they win. They may lose but they just turn in a different direction and win somewhere else - constantly moving forward even if it takes 40 years.
What planet are you on?
The Liberals just vote AGAINST Republicans, with no ideas half the time, and the rest of the time they vote straight D to get more redistributed wealth.
So long as the Republican Party wants to keep putting up half-Liberal RINO's, they can kiss my a##.
