If Roofio has such a “very good” voting record, why do I oppose him ?
You’d have to ask yourself. ;d If he’s so terrible why do I support him? And while I might be a little lonely in that on this website I hardly am amongst conservatives in general. Ted Cruz, Ron DeSantis, and Club for Growth support him, and I think Trump probably will too, at the very least I don’t see him endorsing Beurff. I realize I’ve been leaving the “r” out of his name, my bad. Are we all daft? Are you? No, we just disagree, which is fine.
I presume you oppose him because of shamesty and your completely justified emotionally charged opposition to it. Maybe it’s because I’m a generally unemotional person but I don’t see things the same way. Perhaps that’s also why Donald Trump fails to excite me.
I refuse to completely vilify any otherwise conservative Republican because of wavering on that one issue (and I fail to construe wavering as being the same thing as irrevocably embracing the liberal democrat position) especially when I have no confidence in their opponents on that issue either (this applies to the POTUS race as well, there was only 1 candidate in the race who I reasonably trusted on the issue, it wasn’t Rubio nor Trump, it was Cruz, and that didn’t stop me from initially backing Walker over him).
I also refuse to lionize someone for “talking the talk” if their record doesn’t back it up. That’s just me. Words are wind. Everybody lies, especially politicians, Beurff says he’s a “true conservative™”? Well his most notable past political action runs contrary to that assertion and instead points to either idiocy or liberalism. Combine that with his crappy poll numbers and I don’t find him worthy of consideration in this race. Shrug.
Even if I round Rubio as warranting a primary challenge, which I can’t say that I do, I would only back someone that I was actually convinced was more conservative and convinced could win the GE, not a Milton Wolf type.
