Were are they? You seen them? I have not seen what you speak of in decades. What are you talking about?
Principles do not change even if many Republicans have abandoned theirs. I will only support candidate who believe in.
The right to life (Trump has no history of pro life views)
religious freedom (Trump wouldn’t stand up for Kim Davis)
The second amendment (Trump sounds good now but supported an assault weapons ban)
limited government (I have never heard Trump talk about this)
the Constitution (I have never heard Trump talk much about this)
Checks and balances (Trump has indicated that he might follow Obamas lead and continue to expand the power of the executive branch at the expense of the legislative branch)
Private Property Rights (Trump supports the aweful Kelo decision)
Federalism and the 10th Amendment (Not sure where Trump stands on this.)
Yeah, exactly what is “conservative principles?”. Is that the principles that have accomplished NOTHING in the last thirty years, or do we ( as the endlessly say) need to elect ‘real conservatives’. Sorry, less and less people believe their lies.
I haven't seen Christianity in quite some time either, but I'm not about to support the devil.
