"When you go over a cliff with all flags flying, you are still going over a cliff"
Both major parties keep raising the debt ceiling in Congress and are driving this country over the fiscal cliff, that’s for sure.
Ronald Reagan asked his supporters in 1976 to hang in there and I did voting for Republican presidential candidates all the way up to Romney in 2012, but no more.
Where do you think the GOP is headed but that cliff with flags flying, literally. Oh they are not doing 100mph but 75mph gets you there eventually. And I have heard we must slow the liberals down and wait and wait and wait. Since Reagan and the brief time frame with the Contract with America the Republicans have been on pure defense, decades worth of time on defense. In war when you play defense and that is the only play in your book you will lose. I don’t see anything from the Republicans except more of the same.
When you offer no choice you lose votes. When there is little to no difference between the two major parties except for the price tag, where is the choice here?
If people want to continue to believing the lies and suffering through the never ending attacks on their principles and vote for the Republicans more power too them, I hope they are successful, I really do.
However, the days of pulling a straight Republican ticket ended for me long ago. I would gladly, eagerly vote Republican again if they offered anything that resembled push back against the liberal agenda, but right now all I see and hear from them is “me too, just don’t spend as much and but me too!”
A second party to vote for in American politics would be nice for a change.
