So, when "the fight that we were in" was a right-wing moderate war hero or a right-wing moderate Mormon versus the most radically progressive Socialist, Muslim sympathizer ever to run for the title of POTUS, "conservatives" and many evangelicals exercised the option of standing on their principles and gave us eight years of Obama, but now you expect musiclady to set her principles aside "for the good of the nation" and vote for some repugnant, vulgar, immature brat who supports more leftist ideas than the majority of the people that have been booted from this site for being "libtards"!
That's rich.
In order for a Republican to win the general election, that candidate would have to win every Electoral vote/State won by Romney in 2012, PLUS flip about nine States that went to Obama. Meaning that voters that were given a choice between the known radical progressive (maybe) Muslim and a moderate Republican in 2012 and chose, either by direct action (vote) or indirect action (not voting) to elect the former and not the later, would now do a massive turnaround and abandon their progressive tendencies in order to vote for a clown with no moral or political compass.
That's not going to happen.
Welcome back Louis......
Well, first off, I don't expect anyone to do anything, especially ML... I simply share my view and she, as well as anyone else, can take it or leave it.
As far as McCain and Romney they did not fight back. They sat in their seats during the debates and let Obama beat them over the head with idiotic accusations, then Obama laughed at them, that is why they lost. Why go to the polls and vote if the guy your voting for won't stand up and fight back and even if he wins what chance is there that he/she will actually do something besides attend cocktail parties?
What the GOP has got to understand is that even if a GOP candidate, any candidate, gets every GOP vote in the world, it is still not enough to win the election.
If the GOP is going to win, they will have to convince the independents and "blue dog" democrats to vote for them as well as draw out the traditional non-voters.
In doing so the GOP candidate is likely going to have to appear "less that stellar" at times... Do I like that, of course not, but that is just the fight we have.
