It does -not- defy logic if you accept the premise that the GOP is a FALSE FRONT. It is not a conservative party, it does not promote conservative or even libertarian principals. The GOP is to American Constitutional principles what Vidkun Quisling was to Norwegian national defense.
Accept the premise that it is all a charade and everything the GOP has done for the past decade or two is perfectly logical, consistent and indeed sophisticated.
We have been bamboozled.
Republicans Implementing Nuances Of Socialism...aka RINOS
These POS slimebags are laughing all the way to their next insider trade.
We could ask them nicely to resign, go back to their families, enjoy the rest of their lives...or 300+ million vs. 535.
More reasons why...
Legislatures (state and federal) could be part-time jobs with 1/10th pay, NO retirement, NO insurance, NO benefits and NO perks. These POS politicians can get a full time job doing something productive not progressive. Their part-time job could be spent DEFUNDING/DISMANTLING socialist collectives, foreign and domestic (our government in particular).
—That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
Alter it.
Above all, if you wish to be strong, begin by rooting out every particle of socialism that may have crept into your legislation. This will be no light task. - Frederic Bastiat 1801-1850
he GOP is to American Constitutional principles
Excuse me, but how does the Socialist Security program fit with “American Constitutional principles”? It’s as unconstitutional as Obamacare. Are you also for fully funding Obamacare through payroll taxes? Give me a break. If Freepers have become born-again tax-raisers and SocialistSecurity defenders, then where does a small government, low-tax conservative go?
Aw, shucks - - - - . Thanks.
I’ll have to agree with both of you.
They are all socialist. So if you accept that, it all makes sense.
That scientific law states: “The explanation that requires the least amount of further assumption of unknown is usually the correct one” or something of that nature.
If you think that there are people in gov. who believe what we do and want to respect the Constitution and not redistribute wealth, then it is almost maddening to make sense of it all.
But if you just accept they all want to bankrupt us and drive us to Euro-Socialism, then well it is easily explainable.
