There is no such thing as a moderate Democrat, and independents are all over the board. Romney picked up a high percentage of independent votes, but lost because a lot of Republicans sat out the election.
Exactly what kind of compromises do you and your moderate friends suggest conservatives make regarding Obamacare? We’ve only begun to see how bad this purely Democrat legislation is. Wait until the wavers expire.
Most here assume that polls that don’t show what they want to see are biased, wrong, or straight out lies. It’s also assumed that the “silent majority” still is a majority and that America is a center right country.
I suggest that America is a much dumber, center left country.
If you run Ted Cruz or Sarah Palin, that is, a true conservative, I don’t think it will go well.
What compromises? I’m just talking about one. Try to fix Obamacare as best you can. We can’t defund it, we can’t repeal it. So, just baying at it constantly with fruitless lawsuits will do nothing.
I’m taking care of me and mine. I’ll do as well as most if another Republican never wins the White House. I’m just telling you what I see. I admire the dig in and fight spirit, but sometimes, retreat and regroup makes more sense.
Here’s a prediction, based on what I see around me. 2014 - Dems hold the Senate and make gains in the House. Right now, I’ll say R’s hold the House, but not by a lot.
If America is the center right place that many here believe it is, the D’s will get slaughtered in 2014.
