And that is exactly the same kind of retreaded crap we’ve had to deal with through 2 Presidential Elections where media and the GOP have engineered go-along-get-along candidates who WON’T fight for conservatism and principles.

Sowell has been working overtime (probably because of an agitator plus-up contract to promote the GOPe status quo) to keep on with the same crap “you can’t change it if you don’t win.” Show me where they ‘won’. We have a Republican leadership that is falling all over themselves trying to not appear confrontational and upset Obama or the Democrats. Bend over and do it again, and again - maybe you’ll win if the Democrats commit suicide. BS!

Appeasing and apologizing for GOPe leadership isn’t conservatism - it is capitulation of principles.

And lastly, you can take your “so you are all for the Dems to take over and Destroy the country” and shove it. They are already doing that - with McConnell and Boehner’s avid help (cheerled by Sowell).

I agree with you so much -- except for your rejection of Sowell. He is much too wise to discard that easily -- better to raise our eyes to a possible red flag and incorporate that warning in to the approach. I agree with you with regard to the futility of "winning" by election functional liberal Democrats registered as Republicans. But I have been reading Thomas Sowell's exceptionally wise political commentary for a very long time, many many years. HAVE YOU???????? I have, and that is why I know that dumping him altogether on the strength of one disagreement, is akin to the foolishness of dumping eggs on the strength of the advise of doctors worried about cholesterol. Wise folks kept eating the eggs and waited for otherwise smart doctors to figure it out (and they did), and wise conservatives will do something along the same lines with Thomas Sowell. He is MUCH too valuable and articulate to toss away so cavalierly.
