If you've decided to not put one of the Democrats in the White House, then you need to get behind the only, repeat, the ONLY Republican candidate capable of winning in the fall.
I don't understand this. You folks only garner about 8 percent of the party, yet you're demanding that the clear winners come over to your side? These are the demands of adolescents...surely you recognize that?
If we're talking the capabilities of candidates to beat the Dems, RINO McCain is obviously the best bet. He garners a lot of support on the other side.
Just because I don't like McCain doesn't make that an untruth.
Magical thinking doesn't help your cause. A close grip on reality is necessary in politics. So is compromise.
Note Huckabee's campaign. Whether you like him or not, his campaign was torpedoed in SC because of Fred's reluctance to call it quits. Fred didn't have a chance of winning, but he certainly took the most like-minded candidate with him when he went down.
Fred was my candidate, but I recognized him as a Huck spoiler. As a gun rights proponent, I wanted Fred to drop out. He didn't, and now we're stuck with less than strong 2nd candidates.
Political acuity is necessary here. Many lack it, instead choosing the magical belief that a overnight return to Constitutional values can occur without tanks.
If you don't believe in compromise, pick up a rifle. Otherwise, don't claim to work within the system when you refuse to take reality into consideration.
