“I am of the GOPc”
I assume you mean GOPe. That’s no surprise.
“To vote for a Democrat because the Republican disagrees with your view is counter productive.”
Neither the piece nor I advocate voting for the democrat. I would blank my ballot. Have before and will again here in MA, where we get, intentionally, one worthless candidate after another.
“The man won the primary and is the candidate warts and all. Jesus Christ is not on the ballot and his perfection is simply a choice in the coming election.”
Hmmm. I wonder if you said that in 2010 when Lisa Murkowski ran as an independent, with the help and encouragement of the GOP Establishment. This is the game. “get our guy nominated, by hook or by crook (Mississippi!) and then say ‘hey, he’s the republican nominee, so we have to support him.’” I and a significant number of others are simply not playing along anymore. The worthless ESTABLISHMENT republican nominees can get elected with the democrats and moderates they seem to love so much. You can only stab us in the back so many times.
“I concur with your right to disagree, to bitch to moan....... but to vote vindictively for a democrat is absolute foolishness”
This comment is such a joke since the Republican Establishment “vindictively” used racism and democrats to get Cochran renominated. But again, the game is “get our guy across the line NO MATTER WHAT!”
As I’ve said many times on many posts, to Conservatives, over the years, electing a democrat was worse than the moderate or Establishment republican. But to the GOP Establishment, electing a Conservative would be worse than electing the democrat. We’ve seen evidence of this with John Warner’s refusal to endorse Oliver North in 1994 (”The man won the primary and is the candidate warts and all); his endorsement of Mark Warner THIS YEAR; Richard Lugar’s endorsement of Michelle Nunn THIS YEAR (yeah these two Establishment types are really interested in a Republican senate; and Dede Scozzafava’s endorsement of the democrat for congress when it became clear she could not win and the conservative might (better a democrat than a conservative).
After all the betrayals of the Republican Establishment (Jim Jeffords, Arlen Specter, Charlie Crist, Lisa Murkowski, to name just a few), I hardly think we need to be preached to by their like. And you’re one of them.
no, GOPc .... that is the designation for conservative wing of the Republican party. There are lots and lots of us. The GOPc includes all of the Tea Party.
