Conservatives Are Being Picky To A Fault

The Columbus Dispatch ^ | 3/8/07 | George Will

[areafiftyone]

The axiom is as old as human striving: The perfect is the enemy of the good. In politics this means that insisting on perfection in a candidate interferes with selecting a satisfactory one.

Which is why the mood of many of the 6,300 people, lots of them college age, who registered at last week

((((RUDY PING))))

I'd respond but I don't want to use the word faggot in a thread about George Will.

[RebelBanker]

This is the third time I have seen this column, each time with a different headline.

[tearlenb]

"not everyone is perfect"
TRANSLATION "compromise your conservative values, vote for someone more liberal"

I'll proudly be picky. Hunter 2008

[flashbunny]

"Democrats have scant interest in federal gun-control legislation"

Which is why a new AWB was introduced in the house.

[areafiftyone]

Oh really? I didn't know that. I did a search for the title - and of course it didn't come up.

[D-Chivas]

I'd respond but I don't want to use the word faggot in a thread about George Will.

I was thinking the same thing. See ya later, I'm off to rehab!

[Dead Corpse]

Perfection is one thing. Rudy is something else.

Hunter. Tancredo. Paul. Gingrich.

These are REAL choices. Not RINO pipe dreams for a Pyrrhic victory.

[Niteranger68]

I'm not a big fan of Will, but this I agree with. In politics, all-or-nothing will get you nothing. It's like a hunger strike. Who does it really hurt?

[dforest]

I guess having to hold your nose all the time is too picky now.

[Tarheel]

Giuliani successfully challenged the culture of complaint that produced the politics of victimhood that resulted in government-by-grievance groups

Let's hear it for Rudy!

It's not about perfection. It's about trust.

I don't trust RINOs.

If a 'Rat of good character, who was honest about what he/she believed was running against a RINO, I'd vote for the 'Rat.

[The Blitherer]

In other words- "Shut up and vote RINO!".

[merry10]

1. You did respond.
2. He is a married man with children, so why would you use that word?

[BMIC]

Until the primaries are over, I will continue to be extremely picky.

[OldFriend]

Do you believe that a single one of your heroes is pure?

Somehow Gingrich's three wives are painted with invisible ink?

As for Paul, the man is of another planet, to put it mildly.

Tancredo seems to have cloned himself to be Buchanan.

Between all three they could not get elected to dog catcher.

Welcome to the Rudy Giuliani Channel. Rudy stories, all the same, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. /sarcasm

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Read my tagline!
If Rudy can't understand ALL THE CONSTITUTION, he doesn't understand it, at all!
