Qute: "He's one of a hundred, and contrary to popular belief, ousting him will not weaken the party...on the contrary, the others will take note, and be far less inclined to sell out principle, sell out their core constituents. It's the political equivalent of Tough Love....hurts for a while, but delivers long lasting results."
Oh, OK, so when the President fails to get Tax Reform through the congress by ONE vote, its only one in a hundred. When the fillibustering of judicial nominees can't be ended because of ONE vote, its only one in a hundred and on and on and on and on aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand ooooooooonnnnnn!!! Hey, its tough love, but then again, shooting ones' self in the foot usually is.
LOL. Reasonable people can disagree. I'm tired of the party telling me that Ricky is the uber conservative...when clearly, he is not. They even dispatched Ken Mehlman to proclaim: "He's a man of convictions." I nearly fell out of my chair laughing when I read it. I was duped for a very long time by his words....I'm only pointing out the fact that Ricky's words and deeds are incongruent. If you chose to vote for him simply because he's the lesser of the evils, great, so be it.
My point is simply this: If we continue to tolerate conservatism when convenient, then we'll get more of it. I've voted pragmatically for years, waiting, patiently for them to start acting like conservatives who are in the majority, instead, we've seen explosive growth in government. As a limited government, Libertarian/conservative, I can no longer hold my nose and vote for the lesser of the evils.
