McCain received more votes than Romney because of such shallow thinking. Obama won twice because of the folks that stayed home because GOP candidates were not pure enough or of the wrong religion. Liberals just love such fools.
Successful politics is about the art of compromise. Reagan was a master at that. He accomplished all that could be accomplished and didn't waste effort on useless and/or unwinable causes.
Exactly. I realize that getting my news and gauging the political climate by reading Free Republic thread gives me a very skewed vision of what’s happening in the US, but it’s difficult to see such staunch opposition to ANYONE even somewhat moderate so long before the election.
