Communication is supposed to be my forte but for some odd reason, I seem to be having difficulty explaining why I take certain positions on issues.
The short version is that I want to see the GOP keep the WH and regain Congress.
Why? Because, it is the only one of the two VIABLE parties that want to win the War on Terror. There are alot of other reasons, but that is the most important one.
To reach that goal, I push positions that make GOP candidates ELECTABLE. YES...it IS about party because America has a party system...you cannot decide to write in Tony Blair or Tancredo. You cannot pick your cousin even if everyone you know does the same thing.
I am not "pro-illegal immigration"...I am anti-Democrats in power for the next century. I do not care what this poll or that poll says. I REALLY don't care if everyone you know and everyone they know is for throwing out 12 million illegals and building a Berlin type wall because in the ONLY poll that counts, this issue FAILED to help Santorum and Hayworth keep their seat...and MORE, RIGHT NOW, TODAY, Mr. Illegal Immigration himself Tancredo is not even saying hello to the top tier of presidential candidates. You can spin it anyway you want...and I may even believe you... that this has zero to do with race, but this is exactly how it is perceived by what will become the largest voting block in America. This means ladies and gentlemen, that the Dems will hold all three branches of power for a very long time...and you STILL won't get those 12 million deported.
I am not anti-Romney...I just think if he is the GOP candidate, the GOP will lose. I can give you a dozen reasons why but the bottom line is that up against Queen Hil or Obama, Romney fails to make the voter excited OR angry.
I am not pro-Rudy because I think two of the largest voting blocks...the Christian Coalition (which crosses party lines) and the NRA won't accept him.
I was very pro-Hunter until this illegal immigration issue came up. Like Santorum (a FABULOUS Senator), Hunter, I fear, will be a casualty of the unforgiving, unrealistic, and undisciplined absolutists. The language they used was vitriolic and ugly. I am sorry, there is no other words to describe the way they went after the GOP minority.
I am not anti-Reagan; I just liked the man he was and detest the icon his ex-speech writers have invented. The latter has hurt the GOP and Bush with its demagoguery and made hypocrites of conservatives.
I AM pro-Bush. In fact he's the reason that I listened to hours of talk show, read zillions of articles and columns and spend what little time I have blogging. I suspect I am not alone. I suspect that every time someone attacks Bush with clever little "but" lines, they p-iss off a good portion of America as much as they p-iss off me.
And if I have to list all the reason why I am pro-Bush, then you're wasting my time reading this.
I haven't decided yet who to endorce for president, but I am leaning toward McCain for no other reason than he has shown himself to be a leader that will not govern by polls...and I believe most Americans want someone in the highest office that will listen to their concerns, not just their base.
I am officially endorcing (for whatever that is worth) Sarah Palin for VP...if for no other reason than she can help the top guy on the ticket win...okay--and because I'd love to see her go up against Queen Hil.
...So, am I saying that I will "give up my principles" for a GOP win?
...No, I am saying I will give up YOUR principles for a GOP win...absolutely.
