I think you're mistaking me for some other posters who were mocking you. I see your point and have no derision to offer, I just think we're going to lose our collective ass if we run Rudy McRomney.
The statement is correct, but the reasons why it is correct are faulty.
Based on the current condition of the RNC base, we are likely to lose our collective asses no matter who we put up.
The odds are better with a moderate who can garner swing votes from the other side to replace defecting Republicans, but the outcome will depend on who makes it through the Dem primaries.
I think that summarizes it nicely IMO....
I think it is a rational position to believe that who ever wins, will be less conservative than GWB, or at best a different flavor, and that is the current state of the political winds.
To believe anything else is based on hubris and not reality..
If I have offended you by mistaking you for some childish posters, I certainly apologize.
Civility in idea exchange is the first thing I have in mind.
