Sorry Haley, I'd rather take my chances than wind up with more of this
Yeah, that really worked out with McCain.
aaaah, pushing for a moderate lackey i see....
We're done with pussy-footing around with "compromisers". They need to get it in their heads or get the hell out of the way.
*scratches out Barbour on the list.*
aww geeez.
Where’s it written we want “purity”? We want the most qualified conservative candidate. I realize I’ll never get all I look for, but I can try. And that’s what primaries are for.
These people are running real scared. They know there’s change, real change, in the wind and they don’t want to be left on the outside looking in.
Wow. There shoulda been a “pant load” alert.
Palin, Cain and Bachman. All Imperfect and all 1000% better than any RINO and 1001% better than any democrat.
But will the candidate have to be pure on tax breaks for oil companies?
RNC Chairman, Reince Priebus said,
“I think that social issues are the fabric of our society and for us to not be involved with those issues causes us to turn our back on what I think is the foundation of America.”
Barbour, a member of the Plaid Pants wing of the GOP, is out of touch with the head of the Party and with the Base.
Christ was perfect.
Haley’s tone here sounds suspect.

On the other hand, we can’t buy every establishment slut the Republican Party drags out of its bed.
Why shouldn’t we expect our candidates to share our values? Look at the mess we are in from accepting less.
The time for compromise might come after the primary, but not until, not when we have a chance to field a winner.
Establishment GOP hacks like to deliberately conflate the desire for a consistent conservative with a demand for absolute perfection & 100% agreement.
As for electability, the Dems seemed to have done okay despite nominating a far-left extremist Marxist in the last election.
Thanks for the strawman fallacy Barbour.
Most of us want a strong constitutionalist (a.k.a common sense) candidate. Most of us don't expect to see a perfect candidate. Most of us don't want a candidate who fears the LSM and who talks and votes like a stinkin' RINO.
People like Romney who have been involved in politics advocating policies of partial accommodation to failed policies of the Liberals which rely on expropriating assets from creators and producers to give to unproductive elements of our society tend to continue to rely on those political policies when they get elected.
I heard him last night on Hannity attempting to explain his way around some of his bad policy proposals as Governor and I didn't even hear him ever say these policies are wrong because they involve counter productive economic incentives that tend to weaken rather than strengthen our Democracy and our economy.
Today, we stand here advocating real change that will make a difference in our deteriorating economic conditions and return to our system of Constitutional government from policies that invade our personal liberty.
Romney can't bring himself to say that policies that contravene our fundamental principles are simply wrong. Frankly I am not sure he is smart enough to know that. He is just another guy who has bought his way into the establishment with position and wealth initially established by an effective father. My experience in life with people like Romney is that they don't really understand the difference and cannot be relied on with respect to counter establishment policies that involve true dissent.
So yes, I am for pretty much purity--even if it involves candidates like Palin, Cain, and Bachmann who don't come from establishment backgrounds with establishment credentials.
TQC warns fiscal libertarians: “Purity is the enemy.”
There is truth. Who can bear to hear it?
