We must fight two battles. First in the GOP to gain a beachead then in the general for the Executive Branch. The key is the Presidency.
We've got big work to do, but I'm going to write checks only to those I personally back. The Republican Party is not convulsing in grief over that news, since I am not in the same money class with George Soros. But if enough Americans clamp their purses closed until they see evidence of real conservatism, I think the Republican Good Old Boys Club may stroll off the links and pay attention.
I’m increasingly coming to believe that the Presidency is not that important ... at least not as much as many of us have always believed it to be.
Congress and it’s make up is more important. Yes, the President can veto everything but, really, is that realistic over 4 years? Congress holds the purse strings, confirms appointees and must vote to go to war (or did until recently).
Gaining a beachhead is to first realize that not all that glitters is gold and not all who talk like conservatives really are conservatives. We have been lied to and fooled for years. We like to laugh at the Democrats for falling for Obama but we have been voting for clowns as well. Do not believe everything they tell you. Do NOT go with your gut. Your gut lies. They know how to appeal to your gut instinct by using the right words which they already know will appeal to you because they have done all the research on you and they have you down to a demographic subgroup. They probably even know what kind of toilet paper you use. It is called market reseach and they are always doing market research on us—”The better to fool you with, my dear”.
