That’s the thinking that put Obama back in office in 2012. Wouldn’t we be better off today with Romney in office?
Do you really want to defend putting far left Dems in office simply because you have a disagreement on some issues with a candidate?
Radical Dems don’t cry, pout and sit out an election when their candidate doesn’t win. They know winning isn’t a good thing, it’s the only thing that matters.
“Wouldn’t we be better off today with Romney in office?”
Not really.

“They know winning isn’t a good thing, it’s the only thing that matters.”
The difference is that even when dems don’t win they still never give up, something GOEe never does. They always had a minority (but could filibuster) until 2006 in the Senate yet managed to block Miguel Estrada and others.

However GOPe not as difficult for Obama
“According to congressional data, former President George W. Bush actually had a lower percentage of circuit court nominees approved during his time in office than Obama.”
So what good is Cornyn and other GOPe if he never actually works behind the scenes for conservatism?
I’m only sharing my thoughts of where I’m at now. In this situation. The entire bungled affair linked to the government “shutdown”, and subsequent surrender on the part if the establishment, not to mention their consistent backstabbing of real conservatives and outright support (via vote) of leftist causes has left an exceedingly bitter taste in my mouth. Bitterness that has even reached to the core of my pragmatism, causing me to question the very logic of it, much less the very usefulness.
Note the words I’ve used here. “Question”. “Bitterness”. “My thoughts”. And in my previous post, “it seems reasonable to ask the question...”
I’m not suggesting NOW, that people stay home and whine, (and of course not vote for a 3rd party I think that’s clear from my last post). If I were in Texas, at this point, I’d vote for Cornyn too. But I’m getting SICK of being FORCED to be pragmatic all the time, quite frankly.
Not because it’s sickening in of itself to be pragmatic, but because time and time again, the pragmatic strategy has produced NOTHING of any substance. Of course pragmatism, by definition, doesn’t produce every result one would like. But it should produce SOMETHING positive, otherwise I’d submit it’s just insanity (trying the same thing over and over again expecting a different result).
This is all I’m saying. Call it (and my previous post)’a rant if you wish.
