I am so tired of people searching for the “perfect” conservative. The fact is no one will be perfect. Reagan, even went off the conservative reservation a few times. I saw people all through out the GOP primary bash every front runner for not being good enough. The end result was we got stuck with McCain. So just stop searching for the perfect person. Stop finding qoutes and then bashing them by saying hes not a Conservative. Steele and Newt are conservatives both are not perfect but they are by far good enough.
of all the conservative tenets, it is becoming more clear to me that we must be FISCAL conservatives first.....when the country is well run, social conservatives flourish...imo....we can manage a skilled military, and we can maintain infrastructure, and the almighty safety net...
we must stop spending ourselves into oblivion.....
this is what scares me a little about the Sarah Palin for 2012....we must stop building her up to be perfect because she won't be perfect.....instead, we should support her because she has MOST of the things we want to see, not ALL.....
one little word from her and some here will be dissing her....not me....but I know some will....
there are NO perfect candidates......so lets grow up a bit on that one...
