And Haley are you also swerving left?
Quotable: Haley Barbour knocks down GOP 'purity'
Never let purity be the the enemy of victory. If you demand perfection in your candidates or your party, you are going to be disappointed. Only one perfect person ever walked the earth, and he ain’t going to run for election next year.
— Haley Barbour, former Mississippi governor and Republican National Committee Chairman, to Jackson State University students, April 21. From the Jackson Clarion-Ledger.
Most of the candidates from both parties realize that a far right or far left candidate stands little chance of being elected. Those candidates will naturally moderate their hard stands in the face of that reality. Truly extreme candidates, such as McGovern and Goldwater, stand by their guns and lose. Hey Rick, what about Ted Cruz, other than signing up for Obama Care, which he opposes.
