The fault is entirely yours.Burt, bite me. When a political party loses, it is the party's fault, not the voters' fault. Better candidates, please.
Never mind invoking pro-abortion pro-homosexual Goldwater.
Do you dare call it treason?
“It” as in what?
The “quality” of the republican candidates now has nothing to do with the republican’s big losses. Take California, where I live (and Burt too). You could run Jesus Christ as a Republican candidate against a Democrat in any of their strongholds and Jesus would lose.
The reason is that Democrats vote for hand-outs and avoidance of personal responsibility.
Consider how the Democrats’ party platform is made up of lies, give-aways, and false characterizations of their political enemies.
Case closed.
Very Clintonesque rejoinder
No, because you are the one not assigning a meaning to “it”. I’m not a mind reader. Are you asking if I think Goldwater’s support of abortion and gay rights is treason? or the fact that the author of this opinion piece does not recognize the fact that Goldwater really is not “anathema to liberals” (in fact, many liberals heap praise on Goldwater)? Or are you talking about something else altogether?
So how do you explain Eric Cantor’s loss in the VA primary?
The rest of the USA is not California.
Goldwater? Pfffft! Just another commie, eh?
It’s really too bad Jesus H. Christ isn’t running for the Pubbies; perhaps he could get your vote.
Please don’t tell me you’re a “social conservative”.
Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.I see you just declared war on the US Constitution with that rejoinder.
— John Adams
Never mind your attack on Christianity too.
I had to laugh at how your answered your own question.
Also, keep in mind the Cantor’s loss was within the Republican party, not in a Democrat stronghold.
Gather up your robes, hypocrite - you’re dragging them through horse-sh*t.
Sadly, some people think their their idea of patriotism, God, reason, the Constitution, ethics and history invalidate any other person’s views.
It bogs down intelligent discourse in its tracks.
That state currently has a very liberal Democrat governor. And where RINOs abound, that’s a de-facto Democratic “stronghold” either way—just ask Thad Cochran.
Therefore I did not really answer my own question.
How “sadly”? Think very carefully about that. Never mind invective not being any part of “intelligent discourse” (a phrase that liberals are very fond of, because they think it automatically invalidates those that disagree with liberal viewpoints).
Liberals are liberals, no matter the party label.
Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, Religion and Morality are indispensable supports.By all means, keep thinking that the rejection thereof will produce anything positive.
— George Washington
I can only guess that Mike Huckabee is your notion of a good candidate.
Or perhaps some other mouth-breather?
Goldwater was head and shoulders above any candidate of the last 50 years. Fact.
I’ve learned that I can not fight conceit and pride.
