How absolutely, ridiculous AND stupid to vote for electability and not sound principle.

Good grief, Charlie Brown. Have we lost our ever loving minds!

Unfortunately, conservatives are well outnumbered now and the conservative agenda is not what the majority want.

People want hand outs. They want to get paid to sit at home "looking for work." They want free gov't healthcare (polling showed most Americans wanted Obamacare, like it or not).

They don't want someone like Santorum who's completely right wing, nor someone like Gingrich who is crowd-driven and could at any time go completely nuts.

That's why Romney is winning. He's a centrist. Is he as conservative as I'd like, probably not. But remember Reagan? The Hollywood actor who was a democrat for years before switching parties? Reagan was a New Deal democrat and admired FDR .... hows that for prior history.

Before someone flips out, I'm not saying Romney is the next Reagan. There will never be another Ronald Reagan. The republicans need to stop looking for another Ronald Reagan. Reagan was what we needed for the Cold War and the 80s, not what we need now.

People like to criticize Romney for policies and things from years ago, yet the same people revere Reagan. Politics change. People change.

Unless you want Obama in the WH four more years, you have to vote on electibility. A pure conservative will never win in this country now. Keep dreaming.
