The Curse of Sanctimonious Republican and Conservative Voters

Thirty-one years ago, an event occurred that was among the primary catalysts in the elevation into the political mainstream of the Marxist-inspired American Left. The presidential election of 1992 marked the turning point when the American people set in motion the dynamic that has eventuated in the radical Left’s dominance of government.

These Marxist ideologues, with their totalitarian mindset and statist convictions, have skillfully exploited an overwhelmingly self-centered and ill-educated populace, while being greatly aided by foolishly sanctimonious segments of the conservative electorate and the Republican Party. These factors, in combination with a political system that can only function with just two major political parties, have placed the United States in its present seemingly insolvable predicaments.

However, beginning in 1992 this trend was completely reversed. In the eight presidential elections since 1992 to the present, the Republican candidates have averaged only 224 electoral votes per election, a precipitous drop of nearly 50%, while the Democrat candidates have averaged 314 electoral votes. Moreover, the average margin of victory in the popular vote tally favored the Democrats by 3.9% or an average of 4.5 million votes per cycle, a reversal of nearly 14 percentage points and 13 million votes for the Republican candidates.

In 1992 the baby-boom generation was the dominant influence in the nation as the World War II generation had begun to fade into history. Having been the beneficiaries of unprecedented peace and prosperity for nearly 45 years, many had become single issue true believers. To these self-righteous narcissists nothing was more important than their cause -- whether that issue was environmentalism, abortion on demand, drug legalization, disarmament, gay rights, social justice or a laundry list of other lifestyle concerns.

Which brings up another class of voters, the class that no one talks about.
The team player voter.
example:
I’m gonna vote for the republiCAN’T no matter what, because our guys need to win.

This is exactly the mindset and people that have not only contributed to, but actually caused the current conditions in washington.

Reagan was dumb. Not sure why he gets hero worship when he did some big time stupid things.

I lost all confidence in the American voter in November 1992.

Yes, in the long run it has to be religious/cultural reform, but in the short term, conservatives need to wise up and realize that in politics it’s far better to get half of what you want than to get nothing.

And with abortion that’s pretty much the choice.

So why not save half the babies?

“Reagan was dumb”

I’m not sure he was dumb, as much as naive. I think it was more like this:

He still shouldn’t have been so naive. He really screwed us with immigration.
