Lemme see if I have this:
1. Conservatives should abandon someone in a primary that is more in line with their view, in favor of someone that can win.
2. They can then rejoice in the fact that, although they've helped elect a liberal (maybe someone even more liberal that the democreep), by gosh he's got that "R" after his name so he's a-ok.
We did exactly that in NY - in '94 when Pataki first ran.
And taxes have continued to rise . . .
And companies have continued to flee the state . . .
And freedoms have continued to erode away . . .
And conservatives benefitted . . . how?
I took the following from a Democrats post at a Democratic site. For the following reasons they think an elected RINO is better for Republicans than a defeated Conservative. I think in this case the Democrat is right and makes my case.
Sorry, but this line about Bloomberg really being a Democrat is just plain wrong. He's gone over to the dark side. He may still hold liberal positions on many issues, but he's become an "enabler" of Republicans -- including conservative Republicans like President Bush. And the money he used to give to Democrats is now going to Republicans. In my book, anyone who calls themselves a Republican, seeks a Republican nomination, campaigns as a Republican, and subsequently raises money for Republicans is . . . a Republican.
Now to the tator's positions.
My opposition to Simon is he is a man who goes into buisness with a convicted felon. I don't vote for people in bed with felons. His denials are no more believable than Clintons. I would not vote for a man who had been in business with convicted drug kingpin. And the excuse that Simon was ignorant of the facts is even worse. If he put a bank robber in as bank inspector would "I didn't know he was a felon" hack it with you? Betcha it would if he called himself a conservative.
Simon told the homosexuals he was for a Homosexual holliday. He told others he would not support the homosexual agenda. I don't support men who talk out of both sides of their mouth.
Simon accused Davis of a crime ehen he had zero evidence to prove it. Lying about an enemy is not permitted in my book. Lying politicians will be condemed by me. I don't care which party they belong to.
The worst way to achieve honesty in goverment is to elect a liar because he says he is conservative.
Simon has a history in this campaign of telling lies and when caught making excuses Bill Clinton could not tell with a straight face.
