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!

Thanks for making my point for me.

And I am supposed to accept this simply because some blow-hard on FR says it's true?
When has it been tried?
It hasn't because you, and the rest of the GOPe enablers are there to make sure it never does.
The republican party literally spent millions of dollars to prevent conservative candidates from competing in the general election as Republicans. The proof is there for anyone who wants to see it.

Sure, it allows "go-along-to-get-along" squishes like yourself to claim that real conservatives are unelectable; and simultaneously removes the possibility.
That's a brilliant argument you've got there, FRiend...

As I already said, arguing your words out of context is pointless. Your post to which I replied is inextricable from Dave W's that you were promoting... You remember:

The one in which he directed Norm to shut up.
