I was accepting the “perfect conservative” as a hypothesis for my argument. Until she puts up a web site and starts making promises, we don’t know what her position is on anything.
And other than the marketplace fairness act, I’m not sure what exactly people are complaining about regarding Enzi. I do wonder if people are just so upset at being caught and having to pay the sales tax on what they purchase from out-of-state companies that they are blindly accepting Liz.
I can’t even find definitive proof that she opposes the marketplace fairness act. Disclosure: I think that the concept of the marketplace fairness act is a conservative one, and think opposition to making sure all people pay the taxes they legally owe is a liberal position.
The perfect example where conservatives wasting time on a state they shouldn't have focused on was in 2006. We had three solidly conservative Senators in tough races that year (Allen in VA, Burns in MT, and Talent in MO), all of whom lost their seats to liberal Democrats by less than 1% of the vote. Conservatives took those races for granted and were preoccupied with helping to re-elect socialist Democrat Joe LIEberman over slightly more socialist Democrat Ned Lamont. As a result of conservatives wasting their time/money to help LIEberman, the RATs won the Senate by a 1 seat majority and LIEberman cast the deciding vote to put Reid in power.
Bottom line: A 52-48 GOP controlled Senate with 100% socialist Ned Lamont in Conn. would have been a better scenario than a 51-49 RAT controlled Senate with 95% socialist Joe LIEberman in Conn.
Shame on conservatives for not learning from the past and realizing the no. #1 priority should be on defeating liberals.
