He ignores a most important point, in pursuit of his misguided attempt to get rank and file Republicans to compromise their principles, in favor of Duhbya's version of pseudo-conservatism. That point he ignores is this:
If Republican candidates can't get elected or re-elected on solid Conservative principles, then we have already lost.
The reason that this country has been on downhill slide in recent years is not only because of the Liberal agenda. The Liberals could not have done it all alone. It was only possible, because so many Republicans have compromised on their Conservative principles.
I don't think that it's too late to reverse what's happening. But, if Republicans can't get elected without compromising their principles, then it already is too late and the middle class better start making plans to follow the approximately 100,000 wealthy Americans that leave the US permanently every year.
But if, as I hope, it is not yet too late, then electing pseudo-conservatives like Duhbya, Sen. Charles Grassley and many others, could very well push us past that point. We certainly don't have time to spare. If Duhbya and the boys don't start standing up for Conservative principles soon, then we must replace them at the earliest possible moment with real Conservatives. Otherwise, it will be too late.
