The Democrats are Globalists and Socialists; the Republicans are Globalists and Crony Capitalists.
What we don't have is a party of, by, and for Americans.
“In other words, just like we saw in 2012. “
The dummy doesn’t realize that in 2012 we hadn’t seen the outright betrayal we have seen from the eGOP since.
I am done with the eGOP.
Nuking DC during the state of the union used to be the nightmare scenario.
Now it looks more and more like the cleanest solution.
That’s a bad state of affairs.
The problem is that some people are conservative right up until the moment they actually have to prove it (i.e. in the voting booth).
Those who talk a good game about conservatism but do not vote to actually support it can change their minds at any time and help bring real change to this country.
“Has America Finally Begun to Despise BOTH Parties?”
Nahhh,
We want butthead criminals like the klintoons and bush’s with an occational unqualified lackey running crap forever!
I’ve been a registered Republican for 51 years, but that’s up for grabs now.
The Uniparty must be destroyed.
Cabot
Lodge.
Saltonstall.
Weld.
Fuller
.
Weld? Republican? RINO. The others are all dead and there was actually a Republican party in Mass. back in those days
I know. It's astounding how folks would post the most right-minded, reasonable arguments on why to reject full-bore leftist Republicans, which I agreed with 100 percent, and then see them mention they'd vote for them anyway to vote "against" the "worse" Democrat.
I was happy and encouraged that enough proved to have been thinking otherwise in the voting booth in 2012, and snubbed Romney. Obama won by default (supplemented by generous ginning/fraud). Romney lost because Americans snubbed him and either didn't vote for anyone or voted third party. They want to vote for something else. If I only get to choose between Coke and Pepsi, what's the dif? Blow that game off! Americans get it.
In 2016, it's anyone's guess.
The REAL sucker's bet is voting for an amoral Republican who is virtually entirely on-board philosophically with the pro-government tyrannical Democrat agenda. Good patriotic Americans are figuring that out the fool's game of voting for either tyranny a or tyranny b.
Finny, this is a conversation that must continue, if we're to ever have any hope of restoring America to some semblance of the Framers' vision.
We've got to keep hammering in the points above until the majority of center-right voters begin to see that voting along party lines alone, does not guarantee that anything will change in Washington.
We must continue to educate our fellows that party affiliation in this day and age means little to nothing (as recent events have proved again). It's no longer a surefire indicator of ones core beliefs and principles - nor is it a reliable barometer of how that person will behave, once in office.
We've got to start ignoring the party labels, and instead, focus our attention on the candidates' public service records and long-held core beliefs. What should be most important, is whether a candidate is a liberal, a moderate, or a conservative. To hell with what club (party) they belong to. There's not a dime's worth of difference between them any longer.
What does the candidate believe in? What ideas and initiatives have they championed? What ideas and policies have they condemned? Who are their friends, and what do they believe in?
Political parties weren't even mentioned in our nation's founding charter, and as far as I know, most of the Framers abhorred them. Partisan politics has done nothing to advance the cause of liberty, but it has done grievous harm to the magnificent nation our forebears fought and sacrificed to build.
Let us vote for those who share our beliefs in those ideals that made this country great, and work to confound those who believe in alternate, alien, or even criminal visions of our future.
Yep, exactly. Because no matter what one intends to vote "against" in voting for a candidate, the only things that matter are what you list above.
Merry Christmas to you and yours, by the way, Windy!
dear mredd,
In 1971, I was too busy defending freedom and killing Communissts, while keeping my butt in one piece, to really worry about the snakes of ‘71.
Voting during several cycles has been voting for whom we prefer to get the goodies and Rule. That way lies tribalism and, in the tech age, total control of everything.
Merry Christmas to you and yours, too, Finny!
p.s. I enjoyed your comments about SoCal on the other thread. Everything you said about the natural beauty of the place is true. During the half century I lived there, I couldn’t imagine living anywhere else on earth.
That said, I’m learning to love Texas just as much :-)
If you didn't watch it at the link, you GOTTA watch this, the whole thing. It's kind of my alter-ego in an 856-horsepower 1965 Mustang. The guy driving is not just a speed demon, he's a donut-spinning fool, a real "donut derelect." He literally spins donuts around Randy's Donuts in this video. He spins donuts around a moving L.A. cop car (there's a surprise appearance of OJ's white bronco, too). He spins donuts around a low-rider jumping car. He just tears up L.A.'s freeways and riverbeds and ends up spinning donuts in the parking lot of the transmitter towers on the hill above the Hollywood sign. It's just ... a fabulous video ... me late for the dentist. Enjoy!!!!
Oops ... sorry, that’s 845 horsepower 1965 Mustang. With all-wheel drive. *sigh* !!!!!!!!!
