“That’s because too many conservatives are either purists, or combative, chest puffing, dick measuring blowhards who want to leverage their candidate to grab party control and satisfy their delusions of grandeur, instead of just getting a decent conservative candidate elected by siding with the best one.”
Thank you for saying what I’ve though for many years There is a fine line between getting good candidates while still being able to be pragmatic. Sometimes, half a loaf is better than no bread at all, but the types you describe don’t begin to see it that way.
I didn’t like Romney, he was last on my list, but at the end of the day I did vote for him. And still today, there are those here who think that withholding their vote was the “right” decision. I just want to know how that has helped our country. It escapes me how letting Obama continue his terrorist ways was somehow better than Mitt. Let the flames begin.
Sadly, alot of times you don’t even have to compromise, because Conservative A is 98.99% conservative and electable, while Conservative B is 99.01% conservative and worthless. Yet Conservative B will play the purity card, mercilessly stab Conservative A over meaningless nuances, and suck off 20% of the vote, then Conservative A loses to the RINO in an easy win GOP seat.
Don’t even get me started on the Libertarians.
