Interesting comment in that the author states:
"An awful lot of those failed Republican congressmen were not moderates. They were conservatives who didn’t have the guts to govern according to their principles."
The logic of tossing our principles aside to vote for "conservatives" who don't have the guts to govern according to their principles is convoluted at best.
But if conservatism is the right way to govern and best for the nation - and I agree that it is - when why should it take “guts” to do it?
This is only true because conservatives have a) failed to persuade the public at large or the superiority of their beliefs; and b) failed when put in office to keep their promises.
How hard is it to win an argument when you’re right?
Instead of getting mad and taking your ball and going home because no one will listen to you/respect you/nominate your candidates, you should take a long hard look at yourselves and consider why that is.
It’s not because your ideas are wrong. So then, why?
