In reply to the discussion: Some of my Republican friends/family are getting afraid to vote for Romney [View all]HughBeaumont
(24,461 posts)15. My Repub Bewsh-voting friend:

NO one likes that douche. He's a Gordon Gekko stereotype come to life, with zero likeable qualities.
Conservatives really have to come correct with the fact that if they want to win the Big One, they HAVE to lose the lunatic dominionist 1950s social viewpoints and renounce Reaganomics. The problem is that they're getting way TOO conservative, not that they're not conservative enough. The other problem is that everyone gets this . . . except the ruling conservatives who all think they're Charlie Kane shouting "THEY'LL THINK WHAT I TELL THEM TO THINK!"
