Once they take office, I find that many conservatives "move to the middle" in a bid, sometimes fruitless, to attract "moderate" and some liberal voters for the next election. They call it expanding their base. Senator Lugar of IN, for instance, has been very successful with that type of liberal outreach.
Well - I'm afraid he is working against us then.
We are not after liberal voters, we are after the conservative agenda. We will get enough "watering down" by disgruntled democrats switching parties because their party is now overrun with socialists.
If we do not demand conservative votes, what is to hinder democrats fooling us and getting us to vote them in?
It certainly did wonders for his presidential campaign.
