Once the Dems are gone, then the third more conservative party will take the spot of the Republican Conservative Apparatus. Until that time, when the dems are no longer a threat to national security, we must vote Republican.

Bizarrely, this strategy gives the existing Republican Party good reason to want to keep the Democratic Party alive and well enough to at least appear to be a credible threat.

"Bizarrely, this strategy gives the existing Republican Party good reason to want to keep the Democratic Party alive and well enough to at least appear to be a credible threat."

Well, there is this 2-party cycle we seem to go through:

1. Be on the outside and being principled and powerless.
2. Hunger for power, get a candidate who can win and dont mind the lack of principles.
3. Get into power, implement programs.
4. Deepen power with corrupt methods of currying favor.
5. Grow complacent and make increasing demands on elected
officials that voters dont like. Splinter off, fracture.
6. Lose power due to getting disconnected with voters, go to 1.

The majority party seems to take things to a point where enough voters get off and decide they want to go the other way.

The good/bad news is the socialists/democrats have so much power in the press and the courts that people just HAVE to vote Republican just to balance THAT.
