I think the Republicans in Congress are scared out of their wits of Left-wing America and the Democrat politicians it has empowered.

That may very well be true; my take on the situation is that the Republican party has essentially become the Democrat party.

I still think we're better off with Republicans than with Democrats.

Given what I said above I think this is a mistake.

I say elect Republicans and then scare hell out of them.

You see, this is what I don't understand — given the Republican Party's constantly rolling over for (or even active assistance in) the Democrat's agenda why should the Democrat Party be scared at all?

I agree that the Republican Party has de facto surrendered to and become a facsimile of the Democrat Party, but there's still a difference. The Republicans still show some restraint. We have always known and have seen in the past few years where an unbridled Democrat Party will go.

I think the reasons the Republicans have gone over to the Dark Side are twofold:

(1) Republican politicians are afraid of the Left because they think that's where most of the power is and--among their other fears--they fear for their jobs, careers, and financial assets, and
(2) Some of them have been influenced by the Left and are stupid enough to believe some or all of its assertions.

Of course these people should be kicked out of office forthwith.

I say elect the bastards and do everything to empower the Tea Party and other manifestations of clarity in order to bring pressure on them, help inform the electorate, and ultimately replace them with more competent and intelligent people.

The alternative is to elect out-and-out Democrats, who will never respond to such pressure and are less likely to be eradicable.

I say elect the less--or perhaps the weaker--of the two evils and then concentrate on scrubbing them into political oblivion.
