You know what's funny? I almost didn't post. You see, I'd been drinking a bit, and was browsing FR with my phone, and wasn't really sure...
Deflect and deny all you like, but your comment was jerking off Dave W's rant against Norm Lenhart (without the courtesy of a ping). Telling Conservative purists to shut up on FR is going to provoke a reaction. Get used to it.
The implication of that can't be lost on you, regardless of what you typed, and I have no interest in assisting you with the task of walking back your ill advised flame.

Incrementalism is not Conservatism, it's simply reducing the rate of decay. You want to argue that "we can't change everything back in one fell swoop"; yet that theory will never be tested by the milquetoast semi-liberals that the GOP keeps foisting on the voters. These "winners" we're all celebrating today, did everything they could to drive true Conservatives from the party.
Principal is the only thing that matters, and you're still a knob.

“Where the principle of difference is as substantial and as strongly pronounced as between the republicans and the monocrats of our country, I hold it as honorable to take a firm and decided part and as immoral to pursue a middle line, as between the parties of honest men and rogues, into which every country is divided.“ — Thomas Jefferson to William Branch Giles, 1795

I never told anyone to shut up. I challenge your alcohol addled brain to find one post where I have. Incrementalism is not conservatism. But neither is not being realistic about what can be accomplished with certain parts of the electorate. I have yet to see one of you so called purists offer any solutions, not one. Again I ask, is it a smart strategy to run rock ribbed conservatives in parts of the country where they cannot win. Try, for once to see the electorate as it is now. A Ted Cruz will not win in places like California for example. And according to you, we should not vote for a candidate who will work with us only 70% of the time. It makes ZERO sense! But this continues to be lost on closed minded impractical people like yourself. So, go ahead and continue blaming people like me, but in the end all you are doing is denying reality. Politics is the art of the possible. Continue to ignore it while the country goes down the tubes...good plan! Telling people who have a functioning brain to shut up and go away because they just wanna defeat dems at all costs is going to provoke a reaction, get used to it!
