There is such a thing as an edit function for your page. You’re about where I was when I was in my early 20s in the mid ‘90s politically. Fortunately, I discovered that my principles were more important than being a mindless party hack and apologist (it took all of a few years once the GOP was in power). I am a Conservative, first and foremost. I support the GOP when its candidates reflect that agenda, not in words, but in deeds. Talk is cheap, especially during an Election Year. When the candidates reflect a liberal/corrupt status quo, they don’t get my support. It’s that simple.

McConnell has done nothing during his 8 years as Minority Leader to actively derail the Zero regime. Contrast that with Harry Reid who used his Minority Leader position to make a monkey out of Dubya and my former Senator Bill Frist when he served as the hapless Majority Leader. Reid has been effective for his side for a decade while the Conservative agenda has been screwed up and down under our so-called “leadership.” That McConnell is even in a competitive race in a federal Republican state is proof positive he only has himself to blame for his incompetence and anti-Conservative agenda.

How do you expect he will magically turn to the right, AFTER an election, come next year, and start doing all the things he should’ve been doing for the past 8 years ? I think you know the answer to that.

Spare me the advice on the edit function. I’ve clearly indicated later additions to my page.

And no, I don’t think I’m where you were at when you were in your twenties. You were a sheep and now you’re a radical — both ignorant positions. I’m well ahead of you.

What part of the democrats winning the Presidency, the senate and the press don't you understand? There are real consequences to losing elections, and we have seen them played out since 2008, big time. Having been through a few elections cycles myself, FDR to Obama, a few things have become self evident regarding our two party system. It's what we have. It's what we will still have after the election's this November.

Personally, I would rather see fewer democrats than republicans, but I guess by your standards I'm too inexperienced to visualize perfect political scenarios. Pipe dreams seldom come true.
