Every
Republican knows another Republican who agrees with them on 99% of the
issues, yet will attack them relentlessly over the 1% of issues they
disagree upon. Instead of uniting against the left, these busybodies
waste countless hours criticizing other Republicans. They will
frequently do it under the ruse of being the “true conservatives,”
claiming that anyone who does not agree with them is not conservative
enough. Yet the 1% of issues they disagree with others on are often
arbitrarily decided and not legitimate issues. Mitt Romney was
criticized for being too moderate of a Republican presidential
candidate, yet he ran the most conservative campaign as the Republican
nominee for president we have seen since Ronald Reagan.
These
“true conservatives” will tear apart other conservatives not on the
issues, but on personality and connections. In Arizona, anyone who is
perceived to get along with moderate Republican Senator John McCain and
his ardent supporters is attacked for being a moderate themselves.
McCain bullies his way around politics and most Republicans are afraid
of him and his supporters, only seeking his endorsement to stay out of
his crosshairs.
Sadly,
this infighting results in Republicans losing races they should not
have. Vernon Parker, a black Republican and former Mayor of Paradise
Valley in Arizona, ran for Congress in Arizona's new Congressional
district nine last year against Democrat Kyrsten Sinema, a self-avowed
bisexual who once received the Arizona Federation of Taxpayers' Vladimir
I. Lenin award for being the most far left member of the Arizona State
Legislature. Several relatively unknown Republicans ran against Parker
in the primary, claiming to be more conservative than him.
