It’s numbers game we can’t win...Clinton won with 43% of the vote because people like you threw their vote away on the ‘never was gonna win’ Perot.
I think it is safe to say stupid Perot voters ushered in what we are experiencing now-—beginning with corrupt Clinton dynasty—the savaging of Bush and now the worst of the worst Obama.
So, with your attitude, be prepared to change your name to NCS
Naive Conservative Slayer.
People like you, whipping yourself up into a fantasy frenzy depress me no end, you wil architect our final end, through your lack of foresight, and big picture thinking.
You are a tool of the liberals.
And they count on you, in ensuring their continuation of dominance.
Don’t be frozen with fear! It’s time to take a stand.
Methinks you read far too much into his post. If you are afraid ousting RINO’s is going to create problems then you must be content to see those same RINO’s cross over the aisle and work with Democrats to pass laws that further wreck the country. Good luck with that.
This is a forum to advance CONSERVATISM. Limp-wristed mushy moderates such as yourself can pound sand.
There’s a lot to say about splitting conservative votes in primaries: it’s been especially done in House primaries in such states as OH, IL, MI, and CA for years now.
If we “can’t win” it then there is no hope. RINOs like McCain will bring us Amnesty and that will bring us quickly to the One Party State and that party won’t be conservatives or Republicans. There is no middle ground.The Democrat Party is 100% socialist and totalist. Compromise with them on any point is shoving the center way over into socialist territory. The Marxixts have taken over the Democrat party in toto and purged it.The Republican Party is still all over the map. One side of that situation has to change if the Republic is to survive.
No sir, YOU are. With your dogma of "be Democrat Lite and win"
We followed that dogma in 2008 by nominating McCain as you pushers of this theory that the GOP must "be Democrat Lite" to win demanded
How did that work out for us?
Get ready to go through the same thing only much worse during the 2012 primary. No one will be good enough and anyone who talks compromise will be mocked as a Quisling to conservatives. In reality it’s the independents who decide elections and as the Democrats are finding out now, it’s not a good idea to piss them off. I think most independents generally are pretty conservative anyway and we need to make our case without getting in their faces and calling them names. I think it’s good to defeat a less conservative candidate in a GOP primary but there are just some places where the best you can do is a RINO (e.g., Brown vs. Coakley). Given the choice of a RINO and a Democrat I’ll still take the RINO of course. A conservative has much more influence with a RINO than they ever would with a Democrat. Have you seen McCain’s ad where he’s being of all things a tough guy on the border? It wasn’t Democrats who pushed him into that position but conservatives.
Two words...Bob Dole.
Another point you miss is that, regardless of this article, Republicans are not the only ones having their feet held to the fire. Democrats will probably lose around 50 seats in the House. Voters will be moving incumbents out, but rest assured that more Dems will be going than Republicans because of the mood of those voters who are demanding fiscal discipline.
Like those voters who are fed up with weak sisters, I would like to vote you off the island.
Get lost.
“I think it is safe to say stupid Perot voters ushered in what we are experiencing now”
I held my nose and voted for Mclame in ‘08 and won’t vote for a third party unless it’s a choice between Hitler and Stalin. Might stay home then. So, whatever happened to Perot? Been quiet lately. Wonder how many billions he was paid and by whom to run for president. That worked out nicely. I think the sheeple are getting too smart for that ruse. The Republic party had better wise up if they want to avoid becoming extinct.
I couldn’t agree more.
Oh man, if you think that Bush was the solution to our national problems I have a couple of sections in the Afghan desert to sell you. Good cattle country.
Never ever forget the financial mess we are in is as much the fault of overreaching neocons as it is the socialists.
We have had two parties who believe in squandering the wealth of this country to achieve diverse ideological ends, one socialist for people, one socialists for bankers and the power elite. Neither of them have a goddamned thing to do with conservatism.
Or, the RINOS could change the way they vote, and we would win...
Look at the country. How have RINO’s, Rockefeller liberal Republicans, fake numbers gaming American Conservative Union conservatives, compassionate conservatives worked out for you? Eh?
LLS
As long as conservatives join Republican moderates (yes, including the RINOs that survive the primaries), the left Socialist Democrats don't stand a chance in November.
Very well spoken! This is one of the things that depresses me, too. Its like someone hanging on to the sinking Titanic and a somewhat dilapidated boat comes along and they say no thanks, I’ll just hang on to this ship till one I like comes along.
