The people who get elected and talk about “reaching across the aisle”...
********
Republicans, unlike their Democrat “good friends”, NEVER play to win. To the Dems, politics is blood sport and they truely believe that the ends jusitifes the means. They will use any tactic to get their way. No holds barred. By contrast, Republicans think politics is a congenial game of checkers.
Until this mindset changes (if it ever does), Republicans will never win at anything.
Our job is to elect support and encourage people who understand what you said there.
There are three groups of people who are joining together to rip our constitution apart and destroy the republic:
1. Liberal democrats who believe America's system of free enterprise and self determination is the root of all evil.
2. Well intentioned people who are swayed by emotional messages and fund or vote for the liberals who's real game they don't understand.
3. The "republicans" you mentioned above who are naive and don't understand the fight along with their cohorts who simply don't have the courage to stand up for our liberty.
Our fight is not easy and won't be won preaching to the choir on conservative blogs. If just ten percent of the people who voted for Mitt Romney would get out and convince one person of the value of standing for conservatism we could put the liberals back 10 or 20 years. Of those converts or recruits; if just 10% of them would recruit a voter our insurance would be written in stone.
Let's get up and hit the streets with a program of education.
