wow... where were these people back in November?
“By the way, for every 1 moderate vote we gain by going to the middle, 2 people from the base stay at home on election day.”
GOP repliess, “Who cares, we will get moderate democrats to vote for us and we’ll win anyway, won’t we?”
And yet they voted the Democrats absolute power. This word “conservative”, I do not think it means what you think it means.
Staying home on election day is not the way to get more conservatives elected. Duh!
Every conservative needs to make a commitment to go to the polls and elect the most conservative candidate running.
Ever since I read a poll in USA today that stated that 25% of atheists pray and believe that God answers their prayers, I have lost all confidence in polling. I don’t believe that Americans are smart enough to answer the questions.
WTG Barry, and to think all this time many thought Bush was the most politically divisive president to date.......
True or not, that does not follow from these poll results.
I don't think the real damage when we move to the "center" comes from losing conservatives at the polls, I think it comes because these moves destroy the Republican brand. If we spend like Democrats, we can no longer appeal to fiscal responsibility (something very popular with many conservatives and moderates alike), which will cost us votes with both groups down the road.
Just goes to show just how impotent Juan McCain was as a “conservative”.
Well, apparently the moderates have observed first-hand what liberalism can do, and they’ve veered to the right. Welcome home.
Kelly Ann Conway has commented about this: people calling themselves conservatives and then the leftest of the Left end up winning the elections.
Yet the results are edifying in one way: they show that we are the future. Remember the old nursery saying "What you would seem to be, be really"? That may be where these people are. Wishing they could be one of those savvy, obviously superior conservatives but not quite being there yet in their deeds and words.
