“Very disheartening that we can’t get a real conservative”
Wake up... there is no such thing. Because conservatives set really high standards.
“Wake up... there is no such thing. Because conservatives set really high standards.”
I’m not sure if you were saying that tongue-in-cheek or if you were being serious. Interestingly, my wife and I were just talking yesterday about the issue: “where are all the truly good, conservative political leaders?” We concluded that there aren’t very many of them because politicians, (generally - although more particularly at the federal level) by their very nature, are twisted people. They seek power. Once they seek office, whether aware of it or not, they are on a path toward corruption. Most of the TRUE conservative folks in our country aren’t interested in that. They’re busy running businesses, raising kids, working for their Church or other organization, being involved in their grandchildren’s lives, or are so repulsed by the idea of holding an elected position that it just isn’t within the realm of posibilities for them. Again, there are certainly exceptions to this, but, in general, TRUE conservatism and political aspirations seem to be mutually exclusive.
Just the perspective from our household...
