Nope, what you and Derek Hunter fail to understand is that you don’t win by losing. Let us assume that a particular policy (like abortion) is at point A on a continuum. When the liberals offer up legislation to move the policy way left to point B, a victory is NOT moving the policy to point C, halfway between A and B.
The fact is that the modern Republican party has no interest in conservative victories. They are not even interested in moving toward conservative principles. They are simply interested in getting elected. So every time the nation slides a little more to the left, they do too.
Name for me a single policy in the U.S. where the government and laws are more conservative than they were when Obama took office? The GOPe haven’t been slowly winning anything. They’ve been slowly losing, so that their voters won’t blame them for a sudden defeat. But who amongst them is fighting for women to not be on the front lines? Who is fighting for the total repeal of Obamacare? Who is fighting for the rejection of gay marriage? Not the GOPe (or Derek Hunter’s favorites). Not Paul Ryan. They say the choice has been made, can’t be changed, and just needs to be fixed a little...
So don’t talk to me about patience. Not until you start winning and moving the political system slowly to the right. I’ve got no patience with folks who are happy to slowly lose...
