I would hazard a guess that you actually would rather have liberal dems like BHO than a conservative you don't agree 100% with. Which makes you just as much as a danger to the conservative cause as any DUmmy.
Take your rhetoric to the foothills and build a wee fort and leave the adults to govern, and quite polluting the party with your do or die crap... it is your ilk in part I can thank for the economy.
I'm tired of you people electing dems because you don't get your way...
I want someone as conservative as I can get - I just won't tell everyone that they should sit out if the person I want doesn't make it.
Ping away Carry
Whereupon you put out three posts, two of which were completely redundant. Somebody get you just a little skeered? Could there be just a little guilt there maybe? Hmmm???

How silly. NOBODY agrees 100%. So in order to have a case, you simply had to pick the hyperbolic rhetorical number, because you know any reasonable charge might be refuted, especially given your apparent history of "compromises."
For the record: I voted for Hunter in the primary and McCain in the general. OTOH, I voted against Schwarzenegger at every opportunity for which history bears me out.
You see, it's a matter of judgement, not fear. Let's see which one it is in your case.

God how stupid. You don't know who I am or what I've done. Worse, you posted without checking. Had you done so, you would have found out that I have authored two books, and exercised a rather extensive record of posting original and well documented articles of some substance here on FR over the last decade.
Can you say that? No.

Horseshit. It was the jumping Jim Jeffords, Snowe, McCaskill, IOW RINOS who fell for the regulatory restrictions and socialized risks that killed this economy, from Dodd/Frank, to using Fannie Mae as a plaything, to pretending to care about "The Environment" by banning domestic production (which pleased oil company stockholders to no end) that put us in this mess. That is what got Congress summarily ejected in 2006. Yes, the public should have fixed it by nominating conservatives, but their own GOP stood square against them, preferring "moderate" status quo incumbents to principle. Just like you do.
I'm tired of you people electing dems because you don't get your way...
You don't even know who I am, much less who, "you people" are. The reality is that you cave to your fears and vote for RINOS even in primaries because "he can win" while rationalizing it as a "step in the right direction." It's crap.
As the record proves, there has NEVER, in the 20th Century been a moderate progressive Republican followed by a more conservative Republican. Not one (Ford doesn't count because he never won an election). In fact, in the only time a progressive was followed by another Republican at all (Teddy by Taft), the latter went on an immediate strengthening of regulatory government, which led to straight to Wilson. On the other hand, the TWO conservative presidents in that century pleased the people so much they elected a Republican to follow. Unfortunately, both were RINOS. Every GOP "progressive" has got into political trouble for corruption or induced "progressive" policies that induced sufficient damage to get tossed, with the exception of Roosevelt, in that the unconstitutional regulatory policies he instituted in the name of "good government" had not been around long enough to show themselves for the political corruption they in fact were even then. In either case, a leftist media has always ensured that conservatism takes the blame when the corporate crooks get caught. See: "Nixon."
As the record proves, once said "moderate" representative is ensconced, the power of incumbency is so great that it is nearly impossible to unseat said malefactor in a primary (especially in the Senate).
I want someone as conservative as I can get - I just won't tell everyone that they should sit out if the person I want doesn't make it.
And here is where we get to the lie you keep telling yourself. You see, the phrase, "as I can get" presumes that you absolutely KNOW what the threshold for "he can win" really is. Being a frightened conservative, you just want to be sure. So you back off your preferences and accept less, even in the primaries. Hence, although you think yourself a conservative, you vote like a moderate.
not much of history buff are you Carry.
Had you even the three clicks worth of research it would have taken to realize how stupid this statement is, you would never have done so.
Unlike your posting record, my understanding of history has been validated many times on FR. Such as HERE, HERE, or HERE.
Did you write anything like that "history buff"?
You were rattled, you were rushed, and you didn't think. You acted out of fear. There are enough of you that the GOP can be herded into nominating a "he can win" RINOS like frightened sheep.
I never said the founding fathers approved or disapproved of political parties.... I said they didn’t agree.... which is part of the political process.
Here is what you wrote: Politics is typically the choice between two evils.... even the founding fathers knew this.
No, it is not, nor did the founders believe that political choices were always binary. Even then, there was a history of nations where choices involved multiple parties or even no parties in decision-making at all, such as Switzerland, of which they were well aware.
BTW - I don’t want RINOs I want conservative repubicians first, republicans second.
Show me. So far, it looks to me like "evil lite" is your preference because that is what say you do. You don't trust your fellow voters to make the choice you say you prefer. I couldn't care less what you say. As far as I am concerned, you are internally dishonest. I care what you do.
Your second choice looks like democrat.
I have never voted democrat.
