We aren't speaking of ideals. We are speaking of principles... 'First Things'... Truth. Idealism requires fantasy. Principle requires reality.
You cannot win without those principles, as has been proven over and over and yet over again.
Youre not some sort of perfectionistic sweetheart are you?
You've got to stand for something, or you'll fall for anything. I am standing upon very solid ground.
Chick-Fil-A didn't happen because everyone likes chicken. You want Chick-Fil-A without a reason, a manufactured thing that cannot be made. Your political Chick-Fil-A moment will happen when someone stands up and speaks truth without reservation, and without concern for self, or the bottom line. That is what rings like a bell. That is what sounds the clarion call.
Your preaching of compromise falls dead-flat.
Note to self:
We are now at 600 posts in which POSSIBLY one person addressed the fact that the GOP has promised Amnesty in exchange for us voting them into power.
I say possibly because the person has not yet replied with the post #. So we shall see.
You know it doesn’t officially get marked for zero.
The end result of a write-in or sit-out is that zero wins. Won. “We won.” Remember?
And we are living the results of all of those who sat out or voted for Kung Fu Panda. And we will live the results of all of those who sit out or vote for Kung Fu Panda on November 4th, with harry reed and zero on power steroids.
And that would be foolish.

No, it was the way of compromise that was followed - The product presented in those elections was not what people wanted, hence failure.
Conservatism was not found in either of those elections... Rather, both were represented by the very nemesis of Conservatism.
Your product is not selling.
Why do you labor under the mistaken belief that liberals are entitled to anyone’s vote? I don’t care how many you vote for. If enough of you continue doing it and the country burns, thats on you. ALL on you. We told you to vote with us to elect conservatives. We told you you were not winning without is. You didn’t. you knew better. Sucks to be you.
It’s been addressed several times.
IF the GOP got the majority, they could be persuaded to drop amnesty. Like bush 43 was persuaded to drop harriet miers.
If the GOP doesn’t get the majority, it doesn’t matter because amnesty is going to be shoved down our throats anyway.
“Its been addressed several times.”
then list the posts. they cant and wont be persuaded but I have unicorns for sale. And cupcakes. Want some?
BTW, where is the big persuasion you guys PROMISED would happen with the current crew?
Where?
Where are the hundreds of scalded toes we were assured would happen if they went lib on us?
Where?
Frauds.
It’s difficult to have a conversation with you.
I get it. You will only vote for what you consider a purist. That’s your prerogative.
Just admit that your prerogative helped get us where we are today. zero the homosexual communist muslim is president AGAIN, partly because you decided to not vote for romney.
Sometimes confession is good for the soul. ;)
Odd how you cheshires just merrily hop away from any issue you find contrary to your RINO scripted Dogma.
I admit fully you are good at trying to avoid things, but we all see it.
You didn’t hold any feet to the fire before and won’t WHEN your RINOs pass amnesty. Then you will just ignore that too.
So be it. Not my problem. I vote for conservatives.
Perot was nothing but a spoiler, an idiot option.
He got Clowntoon elected twice!
G H W Bush was a true RINO, but he was more conservative than Clowntoon.
The only sane option was to beat Bush in the primary, and if you can’t do that you hold your nose.
There were no ‘good’ choices in the 1992 or 1996 general election, only ‘least bad’.
Maybe if Bush had not lied to America about taxes he would have won with or without Perot.
But he did lie to America and the result was Bill Clinton. 100% the fault of a RINO liar.
If you want more conservative candidates, get them nominated in the primary! They always get my vote!
And how do you do that with Mitt sending out his squads to torpedo them in those primaries? How?
You vote for the people that force you into that. you reward that. Conservatives won’t.
“you don’t win elections by making your own tent smaller”
Good article, makes sense!
There is black and white and shades of gray ............whether you like it or not.
Yea that idiot Reagan and his speech about not turning over the party to RINOs...what did he know!
No, the idiot throw-away votes for Perot elected Clowntoon, twice!
BTW...the crap G H W Bush said about the NRA just before the election hurt him as much, or more, than the ‘read my lips’.
LMAO.
Yea thats why the RML thing went down in history and the NRA thing is a footnote.
He lied. It opened the door for Perot. He lied and because of a RINO liar, we got Bill. No one has responsibility but the man that slit his own throat. Why do you protect a liar? It this a situational ethics thing?
