“But if the best we are offered is “I have never advocated” or “I have never opposed” blah blah-—then the conservative vote turnout will be even worse in the next election than in the last.”
We need to have a guy who actually articulates the conservative message and has some passion and ability to move voters. If you run deadbeats like Mitt Romney, you will lose every time.
Yes, and he must be a passionate advocate for Life, Family, Liberty, guns, private property, borders, religious freedom, economic freedom, individual freedom, states rights/federalism, the Constitution, Bill of Rights and Declaration, constitutionally limited small government and ALL of our God-given unalienable rights!! Otherwise, to hell with him.
Our most basic founding principle: Our rights are a gift from God Almighty and we share in them equally and they are unalienable, ie, government cannot deprive us of same. And our founders listed specifically: Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness, ie, every other right granted us by nature’s God (virtually undefined and unlimited). And they set forth our recourse as a free people when government fails to respect the founding principles. Look it up.
People who push to surrender any of our God-given rights are unwelcome intruders on FR.
FR is an exclusive site for God, Life, Family Liberty, Constitutionally minded grassroots conservatives. On this, you’re either with us or against us. There is no in between.
So shut your pie hole about giving up our rights or get the hell out!!
Agree on that.
And not only the conservative message but with some style, some excitement.
I know “style” may seem irrelevant to purpose but it is not irrelevant to campaigns.
I am old enough now to say that every presidential campaign in my life, going back to JFK, was won by the guy who seemed a little more likeable—with the single exception of Nixon.
Nixon was the better candidate, and the U.S. was a troubled nation back then too, and he was the one prepared to deal with the troubles.
But he wasn’t necessarily the guy an average American would choose at a backyard barbeque over Humphrey and McGovern. As a politician, yes...as a neighbor down the street, probably not.
So whomever we pick to thrash the disgusting Hillary or the braindead Biden, or whatever scheming envious piece of crap that they throw at us, our choice has to have a good American message but he/she also has to be someone we could know and like.
I think there are a few potential candidates of that description on our team already.
