Nonsense.
The enemy is corruption in both parties at every level. The leadership of the Republican party has demonstrated no willingness to even begin cleaning up government. They are complicit and only interested in maintaining their privilege.
That is my take. Prove me wrong.
Harry Reid likes your post.
OK, Mr. Foxwell...but we don't begin to change/get this country back by not voting and therefore keeping the government in the hands of the fascist Democrats.
We begin by putting Republicans back in, where we can, and then storming their offices and DEMAND that they do the will of their constituents.
At least, with the Republicans in office...we have access. With the communist Dems, there is zero access.
Staying home on election day...?? stupidity.
No need. The data from 2008 and 2012 is already out there festering. All you have to do is open your eyes and ears and nose. Your “take” is being proved wrong each and every day that Obama and his congressional and regulatory agency and judicial fellow travelers “transform” America.
Get up off your old dead ass and make sure the right guys win in the primaries so we don't have to keep having these discussions year after year.Take on a little personal responsibility for who wins in the primaries which is where it all starts.It should not be necessary to explain to supposedly smart Freepers why the commie dems need to be stopped.
Hard to argue that a second term of Obama has done any damage. Forget the EOs and the multiple czars that have no accountability except to him. Forget Lois Lerner and Valerie Jarrett. Forget Eric Holder and whoever replaces him. Forget the new "Ebola Czar" who hasn't been seen since because he's probably locked away penning some documents that will equate to more Left-Wing power. Forget Fast and Furious and Benghazi. Forget the latest and greatest EPA attacks on our Freedoms. Forget the Feds constant QEs designed to prop up a disaster until a Republican gets in charge again.
How about you prove that Romney would have been just as bad.
OK, I’ll put in here.
Politics is a dynamic flow. The Democrats keep offering more and more goodies from the government to gather votes. As time goes on, they must offer new benefits to maintain voter interest. The last was health care. Open borders is coming. After that, the government will control the food supply.
The republicans cannot stop this tactic, they can only slow it down. Suffice it to say that throughout history politicians have known that benefits-for-votes in popular governments is an unstoppable process. Got that?
So what we have is a government that constantly slides to the left, with the republicans dragging their heels, trying to slow the process. Yes, they are in the flow. It’s the political reality.
OK, voters, here’s your choice: The democrat who will care for your kids with welfare for anyone earning less than $100K per-year, provide pre-school care, offer full care for the homeless, and provide shelters for all immigrants; or the true Republican who will give you nothing.
Under this option the Republican will stand NO CHANCE of winning. That’s why we have rinos. The are pragmatic instruments of politics.
Let me ask you a question: At what point does the epithet “Rino” apply? I offer this posit: all of today’s Republicans are Rinos. They moderate their pro-constitution positions to cater to their local political dynamic. Their being in office is better than a Democrat being in office and thereby accelerating the government’s continual move to the left.
Ethical Purity is a wonderful concept. I would love for our government to focus on the Constitution. I’ve written two books on this. But we have to be realistic. Idealism, no matter what its rationalization, leads to more liberals being in office, resulting in an accelerated skid to the left.
After all the anti-Romney activism kept so many people home, our only choice is how fast we skid to the left.
News Flash!!! Staying home or voting third party is a guaranty vote for the rats
Name me a republican senator potentially as bad as Harry Reid.
Yes politics is corrupt at every level but do you believe their corruption (on the liberal side) is a better place to get back to the founders vision?
Teaching electoral lessons is better done from strength, or do you disagree?
Using elections to teach any lessons is high school games of stupidity.
Louis, we are NOT voting for best glee club member, adult politics is for our republic.
Grow up and “be a big kid and we will let you go to the McDonald's for a McShake after the game on Friday.....”
Sheesh~~~~~
The time to get the most conservative Republican is in the primary. If have been successful in some cases, if we fail, then if it looks like the Democrat might win, then we have to pinch our noses and vote for the Republican.
If the Republican is going to be an easy winner, or a 3rd party guy has a real shot at winning - and the Democrat has ZERO shot, then vote for him or her.
We can’t continue with Harry Reid. I hope Mitch the Turtle won’t be moved up to leadership because he is Harry Reid lite.
Regardless, we have to have a way to get those bills off of Dirty Harry Reid’s desk. Force Obama to sign or veto.
You are so wrong. It does not help to vote in a few republicans who are conservative if they never gain power. Much better to vote in as many conservative republicans as possible, with a few others to win control of the senate. How else does Cruz become a committee chair.
We did a pretty good job of purging the party of bad apples. Not a great job. But we did ok. We need to gain power. And then gain control of the republican party. While conservatives may not be in the majority of either house. We are in the majority of the republicans. And if they are in control then we can change things.
I can name plenty of people in the GOP who are trying to do the right thing. I can’t think of a single RAT in that category. If Reid retains control, we’ll only get more liberal judges.
I’m really curious, what is YOUR solution for taking the country back? Should we continue to elect RATS, cast ballots for symbolic candidates, stay home, wait for our “Dream Candidate”, move to another country or what?
e enemy is corruption in both parties at every level. The leadership of the Republican party has demonstrated no willingness to even begin cleaning up government. They are complicit and only interested in maintaining their privilege.

You are probably right. However, what can we do, besides vote?
