My eyes and mind are open - I know and accept that there are great differences between Texas and California. I also know that California has been working on its socialism since the late '50s/early '60s and isn't going to do a quick turn around any time soon. In fact the comparison is useless.
You keep stating the false meme that I am opposed to Conservatism, yet you are the one willing to allow another Obama/Clinton/Pelosi/Reid assume power because you find fault in the candidate we have on the slate to oppose them - how am I the one opposed to conservatism?
Of course, you probably now think you are smarter than Dr. Carson and any other who tells us that when the options are to either lose a toe and save a leg, we are foolish (nuts) to decide that, if we can't keep the toe too, we need to lose the leg "on principle". That may make sense in your version of reality, but it surely doesn't in mine - things are what they are and we can either deal with them in the least harmful way or we can commit suicide and convince ourselves we are being martyred.
You never stop promoting the anti-conservative line of accepting candidates who are too liberal, in this case years before the next election, and about someone who won't even be a real candidate, even if he tries to enter the primary, yet here you are pushing your line.
