Perhaps he is a progressive and that explains everything.

I see that the Washington D.C. Ruling Class Uniparty is back to using the old standby “more spending now, cuts will come later” approach that has worked out so well for us in the past.

Of course!

Vigorously campaign for Tea Party conservatives in the Primaries.

BUT, if a RINO beats your first-choice candidate, please remember that any RINO is a better choice for America than any Democrat.

Please remember that “taking a stand” did NOT make General George Custer a “winner”.

Custer took a stand because he had nowhere to go. He was going to die whether he surrendered or fought to the end. At least by fighting to the end, he took out as many of the enemy as he could.

I don't see conservatives in a much different position from his, the exception being he wasn't forced to bring along an army full of traitors who shot him in the back every chance they got.

General Custer “had no where to go” because he made impulsive decisions that did not fit the reality of his situation.

IMHO, his greatest mistake was to divide his command before battle, which ensured his defeat.

Compare that strategy with General Sherman’s strategy at Chattanouga. His first move was to GET SUPPLIES for his hungry, surrounded army. His next was to attack. Would that attack have been successful if he had ignored the condition of his troops? I doubt it.

And so Sherman begane his slow-but-steady war-ending
“March to the Sea”
