William F. Buckley, considered one of the major founders of the Conservative Movement in the last century, established what has been called the Buckley Rule:"We should support the most conservative candidate who is electable".

He was a wise man!

"We should support the most conservative candidate who is electable".

In a race between Chavez and Castro, who do we choose?

” - - - who is electable.”

That hasn’t worked out to well has it?

Why cede to the scardy-cat RINOs the decision as to who is “electable?”

This past Primary is a classic example of how flawed the RINO Wing of the Republican Party is at endorsing the “most electable” Candidate!

After a long Primary Campaign, the RINO endorsed Romney emerges in May with a coin-flip chance of beating Obama in November. Game over, Romney is a loser of a politician!

Buckley made a mistake, as the RINO losing record has proven over and over again.

Do we learn from the mistakes of the past, or do we just keep on trying the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results?

If it looks like a losing politician, talks like a losing politician, thinks like a losing politician, and acts like a losing politician, then I’ll bet that it is a losing politician!

That’s just INSANE ! and is exactly why we are in the place we are at.

“To vote for a lesser evil is still a vote for evil !!

Use some grey matter man !! Stop being a sheep.

There are plenty of electable conservatives. The system that keeps generating CINOs is what needs fixing.
