No... we are in search of a Conservative with the ability to save this Great Republic... we are not trying to just win an election for the republican establishment. That way of doing business is dead... over... never again. Purity does not enter into it... but we must not back someone who does not believe in the tenants of our ideology... for they will be a false conservative like Bush or worse... like snowe or graham.

The whole “purity” thing is a red herring anyway. Someone is either a conservative demonstrated by deed, not word, or they arent.

If a candidate is conservative, A conservative should support them. If someone wants to say that conservatives should abandon what they believe in just to win, then what’s the point of being conservative at all? Shouldn’t we just say to hell with everything and vote for the most winning candidate of either party because then we will have backed the winner?

Can’t be both ways folks. That’s reality. Words mean things and some here have forgotten that, if they ever believed it to begin with. Some Freepers need to step back and really think about what they REALLY believe. Then act accordingly.

That simple.
