I’m not looking for a “perfect conservative.” But I am looking for someone who is not a petty, corrupt jackass of a politician. From everything I’ve seen living in and around NJ, Christie does not fit that bill. He may be as good as NJ can do (not saying much), but he’s not fit for higher office.
Then you failed to do your job in 2008 and 2012. There is no consensus even here on Free Republic as to who would get all of your votes in 2014.
The only thing that remains constant here is the need to trash anyone. Now, at this point, I’m supposed to say that Christie isn’t a conservative. I’m saying nothing of the sort. If you don’t like him, good for you. If someone else likes him, good for them. So, according to others here, you’re to blame for Christie even if you don’t like him? You’re to blame for Obama winning New Jersey and for all of the problems of your state? Of course you’re not.
I’ve been lurking on this website for more years than I can honestly remember. However, in the past few years, I’ve seen such a total deterioration of the conversation. I really think it relates to a breakdown in society, one that we are currently experiencing. People are vulgar. The internet is a race to the bottom. Threats, vulgarities, just overall rudeness has taken over.
The liberals love it. Meanwhile, the circular firing squad on the right continues. So, keep it up, Hillary will love you in 2016. So will DU and all of the other vulgar liberal sites.
On the other hand, if you have that invisible perfect conservative out there, by all means, convince others of his or her perfection. Be ready, of course, to defend each and every vote and comment he or she has said, because afterall, that family photograph might really mean he or she is for complete amnesty! Just be ready to battle your own side.
