But I'd prefer a true statesman who could convince others to follow based on the logic of conservative principles. It really shouldn't be that hard considering how conservative most people really are on many issues. That is, when people get down to really thinking things out, when they have to face issues head on in real life circumstances, they can see that many, if not all conservative principles make the most sense.Marshal Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01054268632726520871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149193.post-83363215088978148372009-08-12T10:40:05.596-05:002009-08-12T10:40:05.596-05:00Republicans don't need more "moderates&qu...Republicans don't need more "moderates", whatever that means. What they need to do is what candidate Obama did, ie. look like a moderate, talk like a moderate, and then go out and do everything a good progressive would want. In terms of winning over independents and even some from the other side of the aisle, politics is about PR and perception.Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06016275707476655364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149193.post-75719270494429263472009-08-12T01:52:48.581-05:002009-08-12T01:52:48.581-05:00Any Republican who can attract progressives or ind...Any Republican who can attract progressives or independents is considered the best Republican by the party. But they are not the best candidates for that reason alone. They must attract those people for the right reasons. I'm betting you see Mark Kirk as "less Republican" than others and that's exactly what's wrong with the guy. He's attracting you by being like you. What a good candidate will do is attract you because of the strength of his arguments and positions, by his ability to articulate the benefits of siding with him rather than the lame bastards for whom you usually vote. <br /><br />Yeah, I'd love to see him torpedoed. He's no conservative, that's for sure. Our country doesn't need any more "progressives" no matter what letter is in parenthesis next to his name.Marshal Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01054268632726520871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149193.post-26832711985063334442009-08-11T19:55:27.847-05:002009-08-11T19:55:27.847-05:00It does my heart good to hear that you feel that w...It does my heart good to hear that you feel that way about Mark Kirk since I think that he is one of the few Republicans who is a genuine threat to attract progressives like me who are disgusted with Illinois' corrupt Democrats. It is nice to know that you right wingers will torpedo him.Vinnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08955726889682177434noreply@blogger.com
