Well, this is this the crossroads that the party finds itself at at the moment. We’re either going to go the RINO way or the social conservative way. Essentially, Romney or Palin.
the socons will always forgive the pro-life republican, whether he spends too much or not. This prevents total socialism. The more secular fiscal conservatives stayed home to protest the Bush economy and we have Obama as a result.
Why must it be either/or? We have Hunter and Jindal who are Conservatives, period. I do not, personally, like to categorize Conservatives. You either are or you aren’t. The reason we don’t win is precisely because we do not nominate Conservatives.
We do not nominate Conservatives because we do not support or vote for them. No, instead of supporting a Conservative we had much rather play American Idol and rationalize that our favorite candidate is truly a Conservative.
Of course we spend a lot of time condemning the MSM (they deserve it) and the sheeple who voted for Obama because the media said he was the best. The same people who make those condemnations of Democrats were playing the same game during the Primaries. It turns out that the Left is a lot better at that game than we are. Kathleen Parker is one insane (rhymes with witch). I must have missed it when McCain was running on religion or when social conservatives were controlling the party this election.
If social conservatives, or any Conservatives at all were in control we would not have had John McCain. The best thing that could happen in the 2012 primary is for Romney and Huckabee to stay out of it.
