If by rationalization you mean correct assessment regardless of pre-conceived biases, then I agree. Scott Brown is pretty strong against illegal immigration, so if Rubio is like him, then thats a plus. Scott Brown’s record on immigration is stronger than Reagan’s.
But who said anything about being perfect? All I said is Reagan the President wasnt quite as Reagan-like as a lot of people have made him out to be.
The republican party is NOT a Conservative party... in fact... they are progressive. They are just slightly less progressive than the dims... and their leadership hates Conservatives... and they hate social Conservatives most of all. Rush preaches it... Levin preaches it and I have seen it with my own eyes and I have felt their hate up close and personal.
The only hope that we have to save this Republic is to change the party that we have. We cannot change the party by electing those that have infected it with progressive diseases. We cannot send weak sisters to DC because they will be co-opted as Trent Lott has ordered. Why are the TEA Party candidates in DC mute today... because like our new republican Congressman Palazzo... they have been corrupted and co-opted and are in the tank with the leadership. Want to know what Palazzo said when challenged about voting for all of boehner's progressive crap for the past two years? He said, "You just do not understand how Washington works"! No Congressman... we DO UNDERSTAND and we sent you there to CHANGE DC... NO MORE BUSINESS AS USUAL. He walked away in silence. THAT is the face of the republican party today.
Do not ask me for pom poms and cheers. **** the republicons... I only vote for Conservatives now... I only give to Conservative candidates directly and I am having an effect. The party still calls and begs daily... but I tell them what I have told you here today... and all that remains is silence on the other end of the phone line.
