Gosh, I can choose between a big-tent party which controls both houses of congress, or a True Conservative minority which can't pass their legislative initiatives and gets steamrolled by the majority leftists. At least with the latter, I can console myself that my True Conservative candidate beat the RINO in the primary. (rolls eyes)
Actually that's not the case. There are many true conservatives in Congress. Enough to stop any steam rolling and enough to pretty much stop most congressional garbage.
I believe conservatives may be better off just stopping the slide into liberalism/socialism than by helping move it along at a slower than normal pace. Take back the Minority! (sounds funny but it has advantages).
Back in 1994 a flood of Republicans were elected to office with a mandate to stop the Clinton's drive to socialize medicine, raise taxes and ruin the country. They forced Billy BJ to reform welfare, keep government spending in line and we saw some good returns from their efforts.
In today's day and age I can choose between two big spending parties who are out buying votes. One party just looks a little more PC for some people on this board.
