"My comment is simple. It means punishing the party which is closest to conservatives' positions is INSANITY."
Is that our new standard? Close?
Let's say we go with that. I have a new question:
How far away from conservative principles should we be in your opinion before we can raise some sort of objection in a public forum?
Right now, there are republicans that where the R on the back of their name the way someone would wear a NY Yankee's ballcap - which is to say, that just because you are wearing the cap, doesn't mean you play for that team, or even root for them.
Perhaps you are not aware that the GOP is not a monolithic, totalitarian party wherein anyone not toeing the Party Line is liquidated?
I have no objection to "raising objections" and have done so myself. My problem is those gleefully threatening to throw the baby our with the bathwater and aid our deadly enemies thereby.
If you want to use a baseball analogy a more appropriate example would be to turn on a team because a couple of players are having a bad year. The House has voted on an Immigration bill the conservatives claim they like and the Senate GOPers voted 2/3s AGAINST a bill the conservatives claim they hate. Yet, the threats continue against the GOP. Insanity, nothing but insanity.
