The rest drown. It actually did occur to me in the shower just how heartless (but also accidentally accurate) that old conservative political adage really is.

    To the extent that it is used as a conservative political saying

    OK, gonna have to stop you there. When and/or where has this ever been used by a conservative as a political saying? Whenever has any conservative, in the last 30 years (or more), had such dare to venture into such perilous foresight? I eagerly await the citations, but I think you’d be wasting your time to even look for them, because conservatives do not excitedly foresee such things.

      OP said that. I was simply saying that IF they are saying that, it’s only as a reference to something said earlier.

        No, OP did not say that.

        Why would you tell such an obvious lie that is so easy to see is a lie?

          Not sure where your misunderstanding is coming from, but the post, if you read any beyond the title, says:

          that old conservative political adage

          Where is my lie?

              I guess I’ll take the L for not being more clear initially.

              Does this make up for my mistake?
