I side with Rove on this; competent candidates matter. If elections were only about being right on a grocery list of issues, we could run me for office, or any of you.

Being competent and being right on the issues is our ideal case. But don’t delude ourselves into believing that good intentions translate into good results. That kind of identity politics, where we all get drunk on hopium, is for liberals.

The funny thing is, she never did answer the questions Karl Rove brought up.

And there's the matter of the FEC charges. In a way, I hope they don't go through with those now that she's lost; in a way, I hope they do...since I don't like election fraud, even if it's someone who claims to be a conservative.

Hogwash.

Winning then being wrong on the issues does us no good whatsoever. We need both. That's why killing off RINOs is our first step then electing true conservative Constitutionalists is our next step.

Get with the game. We win, they lose.

Not me. My past is too "colorful." Besides, if a commie-lib opponent got smarmy during a debate, I'd be forced to give them a "wedgie." Although it would make for great "You-Tube," it would likely not win with the voters.
