Just like in 2010, if the Republican leadership does not change then this is all sort of pointless.
Sorry to be a downer.
You are so right. After all, I am not a republican. I am a constitutionist, a tea party conservative, a libertarian to some extent.
The Republican elites hate the tea party more than the Democrats. This is the problem. They see the real reformers, the Palins, the Pauls, the Cruzes who will step on their party cake. They don’t REALLY want to STOP spending all that fun money -Pork is Fun!. They just have better ideas for that cookie jar. They don’t want to have responsible immigration. They want to open those gates too. They like to have people to “use” just as much as the Democrats do.
We need to hold them to the fire. Sarah Palin style. Reform. Clean house. Put the crooks in jail and give the people the fruits of their labors and the bounty of their state and the personal freedom they are entitled to. And it’s NOT going to happen, because the powerful protect the powerful. It’s all about the 1%, and we have them too.
