The point?
We (of the "conservative wing of the GOP") were "reacting" to having been forced to support YOUR ball-less RINO Republican candidate who campaigned with all the passion and grit of a flaccid Zucchini.
We got jobbed again, and quite frankly, Dubya Bush did all he could to lose on both 2000 and 2004 - and would have IF NOT for the muscle and passion of the "conservative wing."
The best that could be said about "our candidate" was that he was by far the lesser of two evils." PERIOD. That's NOT saying much about the RINO John McCain.
Amen to your post. I am tired of voting for the lesser of two evils...and that is what you RINOs have offered me. I would rather lose because my principles are rejected than win by compromising MOST of what I believe in. Maybe that is the military vet coming out in me...don't know.
But I am tired of compromising. Bush compromised over and over again by not fighting the Mongrel hords on the left every time they slammed him. You early state primary people compromised by giving us McCain. The RNC leadership has compromised by putting the Trent Lott's, Denny Hasterts, etc into positions of power...rather than someone with nads.
To those on this thread advocating further moderate RINO's to "win"...get a clue. How about offering up a true conservative who can espouse those principles intelligently and fluently (and who has a set)...and then watch and see if those middle of the road voters don't flock to you. You had your chance. Why should we move to where you are? Stop telling me I have to support YOUR candidate. I think it should be YOU supporting our CONSERVATIVE candidates. After all...if you can't win your base...you are no good to me.
