Romney May Be the End of the Line for the Republican Establishment

They are not quite the same Democrats. For one, they are a lot more incompetent, but the numbers are going to win out.

What I fear more than Texas becoming Democrat within the next few Presidential elections, is that the GOP will shift ever farther left in an attempt to chase states and votes.

It's very clear that their strategy is to chase after moderates and undecideds, and at least here in Texas, if they would do a better job of sticking to Conservatives and selling the Conservative message, they could win over a helluva lot of those Hispanics over. They are trying to recall El Paso's mayor for supporting benefits for homosexual partners.

Then again, I look at the Texas Speaker of the House, and it's pretty clear Conservatives are not going to be welcome in this state much longer.

I believe in the bible. I’m a fiscal conservative. That said, I’ve seen what poverty does to people who never ask a thing out of life except a decent job to pay for the needs of their families. My thoughts on the subject are simply my thoughts on the subject having watched people give up. They’re not based on religion or the bible. You have to survive in some form of humanity. Even Mother Theresa voiced anquish over the suffering of the poor and desperate. She admitted having doubts on many occasions. I am no Mother Theresa. I want good people to be happy again like we once were. Jobs and meals together and shoes to wear to school and work are good reasons to praise God.
“A moral people don’t spend what they don’t have.”. My God, what does that have to do with parents trying to rear children or take care of their elderly with no job? Are you talking about spending as in credit cards or frivolous waste? I don’t know anyone who lost their jobs who still has the means to spend. Whatever you think of my thoughts, I spend every day of my life trying to help people get by . None of these people lacks morals but I’m sure a few have thought about doing something untoward to provide for their families. I guess we just disagree on what prosperity means to a nation and to what degree a person can be prosperous.
