Millions of conservatives are frustrated about the lack of support for true conservative candidates yet we overwhelmingly support those who aren't total conservatives..... sounds a bit like a paradox.
The truth is, we all fell that way, but most of us are selling out because we are even more afraid of losing in november than we are of losing a piece of our principals. I am not in that group, because the premise is faulty, Obama is truly the flavor of the month ( or two or even Three). This will be a really ,really long campaign, a year is long enough time to spell out the reasons to vote for competence and strength, and even appeal to some Dems and Mods. Steady , principled and strategic will win over blind hope, in the long term, if coupled with positive agendas for the masses.
Don't Discard Thompson and Romney and regret it later only to find yourself stranded with problematic candidates in a general. We can't undo that mistake. Conditions change month to month, and good principals are best suited for an "Already in place and proven" response capability , to serious and unforseen situations ....Imagine that, no major adjustments needed when a crisis ensues , no flip flop necessary, no empty platitudes, no acrobatic explanations of nuances. Stay strong and please, please, leave us with a principled candidate. I think Fred Thompson fits the bill.
Fred is not afraid to point out that something is bullsh#t. or if the media is bias, he will go right over their heads and talk to the people, we need this kind of refreshing candor in the oval office.
