Instead, look at the litany of losers the GOP has nominated.
Yep. First and foremost, secure and defend the country.
How was he in a different class?????? Seriously.
Sorry, I have yet to see any social liberal stand for anything once in Washington....They are the problem with our party.....they are the Rinos. A total wast of a vote.
Guilliani belongs in NY. He is a shining star there and should have run for Governor. Just as Romney needed to stay in Massachusetts and Christi needs to stay in NJ. The rest of the US republicans can not stomach them representing them.
The South and Mid West will not vote for a liberal North Eastern Republican, they stay home when liberals run....just look at our voting history if you ever want this party to win. GIVE THEM SOMEONE TO VOTE FOR FOR ONCE. Someone please get smart enough to figure our base out it is not like it is very hard to figure out who wins and who loses historically.
He would have blown both Bushes out of the water.
You've been around FR longer than I have, so a certain amount of deference is called for here, but I seriously disagree with the inference that social conservatives, who haven't been consulted since 2004, when they returned George W. Bush to office, have been responsible for the miserable candidates and showings the e-GOP has put up since then. And before then, if you toss in 1992, 1996, and 1976.
It's pure Rovianism to say that conservatives just screw things up, that everything would be peachy if we just trusted Uncle Karl the Mechanic. Nonsense.
Socialism Lite is if anything more toxic than 140-proof Obama-ism, because it robs us of a non-Socialist alternative.
As someone smarter than me once put it, we want "a choice, not an echo." Besides which, Me-Too'ism has been a proven loser since Wendell Willkie in 1940. Come on, guys, wise up.
I say these things assuming that you "economic conservatives" aren't repeating all that East Coast Weekly Standard conservative-bashing propaganda, basically because you despise our guts like they do and wish we were all dead, except on Election Day, when we should turn out in droves to put your man in the White House.
