Anyone who claims McCain or Rudy are no better then fatso are being totally disingenuous.
Winning with a RINO isn’t much of a win. If national security is the preeminent issue, you definitely won’t want to go with the likes of Rudy or McCain. Since neither consider the illegal invasion to be a big problem (or in Rudy’s case, believes it ‘isn’t really a crime’), I consider that a huge problem. And if politicians think the invasion isn’t part of nat’l security, they are sadly mistaken. We need real wins with candidates that will do the right thing, not short-term pyrrhic victories that aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on.
“I’m not sure you understand me. I want to win FIRST. Putting a man you claim is not as strong on “principles”as you would like does not mean the end of the Party.”
Oh, but it did for the Whigs who also couldn’t quite figure out what they stood for.
Nominate a liberal, pro-abort, gay-pride marching, gun grabber OR a stealth liberal posing as a conservative former one-term governor of the most liberal state in the nation and you have a recipe for sure electoral defeat and a Whig-like death of the Party
