The GOP And 2012

Their exists a certain amount of idiocy within the republican party. Let's break this down as to why.

1. There are too many republicans that only care about getting re-elected
2. There are too many republicans that change their positions based on polling data
3. There are too many republicans that are moderate to liberal
4. There are too many purists that refuse to support a moderate, even if they have the best chance at winning

I am a conservative pretty much acrossed the board. But i find it hard to ignore logic. If candidate A is a conservative on social issues, but moderate on fiscal issues...candidate B is a conservative on fiscal issues but moderate on social issues, candidate C is a moderate acrossed the board...and the one with the best chance at winning in a general election against the democrat(in that district or state) is candidate C...It's probably a good idea to support candidate C. It's much better to have a moderate republican than a liberal democrat. Now if their is a DECENT chance a more conservative candidate can win the general election, by all means support them over the moderate. But lets not be idiots here. We need every republican seat we can get. That's the best way to slow down the liberal agenda.

As of right now for the 2012 election i am supporting Mike Huckabee. Why? Because I trust him on the issue more than the other front runners for the GOP nomination, and because he right now looks like the best chance we have of beating Obama. Now, if at some point he falls off the map and makes some big blunders..which make it pretty much impossible for him to win a general election...i will go to the next most conservative candidate i can find that has a good chance at beating Obama. There isn't a single republican that is likely to run, that i WOULD NOT support over Obama. Huckabee, Romney, Palin, Pawlenty...they are all better than Obama.

The best thing we can hope for from President Obama, is that he accomplishes absolutely NOTHING. He is way too liberal to represent the middle class, and strong american values(like capitalism...yes capitalism is a value).
