“Standing on principles”.. a lesson lost on RINOs. Really when cankers are that rotted to the core, the only correction is replacement.
The GOPe has no principles.
This can be seen clearly in the USA too, by all the liberals who lie their way into office claiming to be proud conservatives
In fact it is ONLY the liberals who are not afraid to say they are conservative
Standing on principles caused conservatives in America to overwhelmingly win the 2010 and 2014 elections. We must never forget that.
Agreed
Boner and McTurtle forgot.
There are important implications of the Netanyahu/Likud election results for the US R party. The R party operates under at least three misperceptions. First, conservatives are Neanderthal whites from a 1950s sitcom. Second, conservatives are the enemy and priority is to attack them. Third, if removing the conservatives from the R party results in a couple of lost elections, that is ok because the future is not conservative and the R party is going to be looking to the future voters.
All three misperceptions are gravely wrong. First, conservativism is that beautiful mix of freedom and responsibility that makes possible a great quality of life for each American. Conservatism is in the heart of everyone and has been for all time. It is the desire to control one’s own life; to be free—life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Second, conservatives are peaceful, productive Americans. They take on great responsibility and make the country prosperous and safe. They will never go away because they are a way of life and nearly everyone who looks carefully at their own beliefs and way of life will have to admit they are basically conservative. Conservatism is the norm. It is the center. It is the healthy sustainable way to live and think.
Third, losing a couple of elections just makes it harder to win future elections. The opposition party doesn’t just wait for you to catch up. The opposition party stacks the rules, courts, laws, and appointees until it is impossible to have a say even at the local level. Lose a couple of elections and the hurdles to regaining seats will be insurmountable.
What has this to do with the Netanyahu election? Conservatism, normalcy, and sensibility won that election despite intense socialist opposition. The US President’s influence couldn’t defeat conservatism. The R party can either grow up about conservatism and realize it isn’t fading or the R party can go into permanent failure. All the donations from all the corporate powers cannot overcome that failure.
