somehow they (in office or running for office Republican/ conservatives) have been convinced that the only way to be elected is to be a moderate. A middle of the road. Stupid. I know. Only thing is they want to win ... so they have no real conservative beliefs any more. More the loss.
We are s*rewed!!! How it works is compromise. We give in, and maybe get a pittance cause or two in the legislation. It is sickening. It is a case of they(liberals/socialists) win much; and we gain a little. Nonsense. They seem to believe it is not necessary to do things for their voters: rather it is about staying in Washington. Once in office ... it is difficult to get one out ... they have name recognition and unless they do something horrific they usually get to stay in office. A third party stands no chance and usually works to siphon voters from the Republican party and then neither one of them has a chance to win. Taking a stance about it, and being stubborn simply ends up cutting off our own nose. The proof is in what is happening before our very eyes, and what happened last year.
