You clearly don't get it. If you can't see that every time a RINO is nominated/chosen, the GOP and conservatism moves further to the left, then I can't help you, son.

You can keep your 'anyone is better than Obama' lie too.

You were probably a Perot guy, too.

Think you'll ever get the hook out of your mouth?

Donald Rumsfeld got into a lot of trouble for saying that you have to go to war with the army you have. But his statement is still true.

If you will *only* vote for Saint Conservative we will never elect an actual human being in an actual election. The merits of each individual candidate in each individual election must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis BASED ON THE GOALS OF THE CONSERVATIVE MOVEMENT and not in a broad, generalized and vague definition of the Ideal Candidate.

Note that this does *not* eliminate the need to itemize our Conservative principles, it just means that we need to always keep our eye on the ball when it comes to supporting any individual candidate in any real-life election.

There is so Saint Conservative. There are only human beings. What we really need, and what the Tea Party movement may provide, is a growing roster of truly Conservative candidates so that we don't have to vomit and vote for McCain simply because we don't want a marxist in the White House.
