You are an obtuse pharisee. It's not about that. That is not the issue at all. Small minds are obsessed with people. Mediocre minds are obsessed with issues. Big minds deal with ideas. You are obsessed with what I, a person, wants - and how I, a person, am advocating for it. Thus, your small minded obsession with me.
I am not obsessed with me. I am interested in the idea of the best way to preserve the Republic, which in some cases, means logically the best way to slow down the destruction of the Republic. Big minds, big ideas. Small minds, obsessed with people and emotion.
Didn't work, did it?
What you are doing isn't working.
Sorta sucks to keep playing those same cards over and over again....

It appears that none of you have any conservative beliefs.
JRandomFreeper, Myself, and others here believe that all of this ignorant hand-wringing over demographics, and inclusion is just a load of advertising. People vote for their own self-interest, just like you do. If our ideas work better for them than the other guys ideas do, our guy will get the vote.
If you don’t BELIEVE that socially and fiscally conservative ideas when implemented as polcy will “work”, WHY ARE YOU HERE?
If you do believe that socially and fiscally conservative ideas work better than vote buying, then stop the insane attempts to win by being more like the vote-buying party.
I never held out for the perfect candidate. I held out for one who would represent my interests, and the GOP did not field one.
It isn’t our obstinance that kept us from voting Romney, it was HIS distancing himself from anything that could be described as a Conservative position, and your full-throated support of that approach disgusts me, almost as much as these relentless verbal attacks on anyone who didn’t do *your* master’s bidding.
I don’t owe you, or the Republican party, or the millions of idiots who voted for Obama a damned thing; especially not my vote.
If the Republican party doesn’t walk the Conservative walk, they won’t get the Conservative vote. Are you really too stupid and frightened to see that?
If ANY party will try to limit the government’s interference in the daily lives of it’s citizens, allow the marketplace to work, actually defend the nation against her enemies (not just the armed ones), and promote liberty; that party will win my vote and will, as the wisdom and efficacy of these policies become evident, attract a lot more of those “other” demographic groups. Who knows? They might even earn the vote of Foundationless Squishes like yourselves.
