Now, my message to the man.
Jack, Baybee, don't you remember when Denny Hastert, the Republican Speaker of the House, showed decided disinterest in tossing a couple of members and staffers OUT of Congress because of their apparant pedophilic behavior or tolerance of same?
It's not that Conservatives stayed home; rather, it's that Republicans demonstrated that they'd lost any moral basis for getting their votes.
The fact that you've forgotten this suggests that maybe you're soft on pedophiles too ~ or have you got a good reason you'd like to tell us about. You're among friends here, so feel free to speak up.
Then, once we're over that hurdle, maybe you can tell us why your candidate is any good.
You know — your post made me realize something about the conservative base. It’s not that we are politically unrealistic and unwilling to compromise. It’s that we want our representatives to FIGHT for what we believe in. I had a grandmother that was a southern Democrat since the Great Depression. She switched to Republican after all those years during Bill Clintons term. She switched back when the Republicans didn’t succeed in impeaching him. She was used to a party that fought and won. She basically said that Republicans were wimps.
