Enlighten me as to any inaccuracies in my comment. Or are you of the belief that blowing smoke up our own hindquarters about the GOP and it’s negative impact on America through continued liberalism is our path to political salvation?

I am constantly amazed at how people consistently choose to pretend the ‘elephant’ in the room is something other than what it is. Do you believe that by moving away from one group of destructive politicians/philosophy and into the control of their ideological equals is in some manner a good thing? Do you feel that by pretending the GOP brand of liberalism is superior to the Democrat brand and therefore should be embraced by the millenials? Do you feel that ‘happy happy, Joy Joy” talk is what we need more of instead of recognizing issues for what they are?

Never said a lot of what you say isn't true - it's just designed more to make folks give up. Anyone who believes there's a chance that a prolonged fight might reap some benefits (it will be a long fight) may very well just throw in the towel now so they don't have to fight discouraging "it ain't gonna make a difference no-how" remarks along with trying to carry the fight to the enemy.

Granted that some victories will have zero to minimal effect. The thing is that if you add enough of them together, you get a beginning of a positive effect. If you just decide it isn't worth it, you sign off on America's death warrant. It took the Dims over 60 years of concerted and relentless effort to get where they are - it will take a long time to get the tide moving back in a meaningful way.

I'm donating time and money to Cruz - I also realize, that with the current mix in the Senate and House, even he will be facing a lot of barriers and a uphill battle - probably won't achieve as much as we would hope unless he goes a bit lawless too. Many will be disappointed - that doesn't mean he's not worth supporting and fighting for.

I am fully aware of the issues and the current situation and the infidelity/treason of "our own Party", and all that it means - I refuse to discourage those who may have their eyes open enough to be gearing up for a long fight with small advances.

I'll leave you alone now.
