t's time to get rid of the problem which, in this case, IS our side.

I will never try to kill off Republicans and leave us in the hands of Democrats, never. I can't believe any freedom-loving American would make that there goal.

Many of these people have simply lost the plot. They are living in a fantasy land where some silent conservative majority is going to rise up, throw "all the bums out" and elect pure conservatives that everyone will suddenly be happy with.

They don't seem to realize there isn't even the silent majority Nixon counted on anymore. In fact, our side is increasingly in the minority as this country becomes less white and more populated with people that want an activist government and a bunch of freebies.

All these people yammering how the House should just cut off funding for this, that and the other. Everything is politics. If cutting off funding for what we don't like leads to a government shutdown, we all know which side the public will come down on. The people of the United States DO NOT WANT government shutdowns. Any elected official is a politician who has to at least pay attention to what the polls/people are telling them.

In order to get the politicians we want, you have to change the way the voters think FIRST. The exact opposite of what many people here seem to think.

A general election is a choice between the only viable options. One candidate may support us 50% of the time, the other 0% of the time - the 50% is better. The most important vote any new Senator cast is for Majority Leader. No matter how piss poor McConnell is, he is infinitely better than Reid (who will allow every Obama judge nomination on the bench thus altering the Judiciary branch for a generation). A Republican Senate paired with a Republican House can at least stymie more of Obama's agenda than just a Republican House can do by itself. At least we can put a view bills on his desk that cause him some political discomfort having to veto.

People need to stop wallowing and whining and take a few minutes to digest reality and stop living in some echo chamber that tunes out everything they don't want to hear.
