LOL! You are either not reading or are trolling.
Do you really want conservatives to remain a minority or are you just trying to get a reaction?
Ok. In your scenario, what would you say to Arlen Specter to bring him along with the conservative cause while he remains a moderate? How would you, in your best Reaganesque fashion, show him conservative principles are best?
I'll hang up and listen.
Ronald Reagan refuted your position long ago. Selling out conservative principles is a LOSING strategy.
"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldnt make any sense at all." -- Ronald Reagan, 1965
