BoT is talking common sense.
Dog, these threads will become a daily occurence from now unti November. The common counter argument is and will be that we are conservatives and not faithful party members. In the end, we’ll have to wait and see if come a Tuesday in November we’re going to hold our noses and pull the flush handles for the Party nominee. In the meantime, the answer is still no.
(For another view read Mark Helprin’s article on the editorial page of the WSJ yesterday. It ought to be available online. Actually, he makes a pretty good case.)
Emphasis mine.
Maybe that's the problem.
It has become common, the last several election cycles, for conservatives to hold their noses and vote for candidates who simply DO NOT reflect our beliefs.
It has become common for the national and state GOP parties to know that many conservatives will fall into this trap, and so the party continue to endorse and financially back moderate and liberal RINOs, believing that that is a safer bet on election day.
They will only believe it for as long as we keep falling for it.
This will ONLY stop when we say "ENOUGH." I would rather risk four years of a liberal democrat shoving socialism down my throat than risk having a man calling himself a conservative (!!!!!!!) shove socialism down my throat.
Enough.
Enough.
Enough.
