Mia, thanks for the well thought out and intelligent post. I notice from the 30 plus posts here so far, that you are getting little more than the usual inanities I see regularly aimed at anyone who believes that Hillary is infinitely worse than any Republican candidate.

But you are 100 percent correct. Those who would destroy every Republican candidate who has any chance of victory against Hillary don't begin to understand what conservatism means. Conservatism never meant committing political suicide simply because your candidate doesn't get the nomination. Most here have no idea how important the next election is. They seem to forget that in all likelihood 2 vacancies will occur on the USSC.

They seem to forget what is at stake in the war on terror, the major challenges from China and Russia, the growing Marxist movement south of our border. Somehow they cannot fathom having a nominee who will bring together the center and moderate Republicans as well as the conservative Democrats and independents. Somehow they do not understand that Americans shun the extremes of both parties, and sincerely want a leader who will work with both parties to bring about the legislative initiatives promised by the 109th Congress, but that achieved little more than corruption and sleaze.

The party that fails to appeal to the independents and moderates of both sides will lose the next election.

As you so eloquently said, the social values of the right wing are to be prized and respected. But many of those issues are not even on the radar with most Americans with so much more facing this Country.

Thanks for the great post.

BINGO!!! You hit the nail on the head. If 2006 didn't convince them then they are going to lose in 2008.

Perhaps you should re-read the mission statement of the website.

It is adamantly against abortion, and so are most of its members.

The "inanities" we are posting is the God-honest truth. Rudy is pro-abortion, all the cute little graphics that Mia T posts will not change this irrefutable fact.
