So who are YOU gonna vote for, the Democrats who we KNOW will push into law homosexual marriage, partial birth abortion, 'hate crimes' legislation, etc.? The Republicans may not have done what we like, but I KNOW htey've stemmed the tide of some of the more egregious legislation. They're being stymied in the Senate by the RINOs who need to be defeated, and replaced by more conservative Senators. Now that we have our rallying points, we are responsible for making sure that there are conservative candidates who will run against Democrats and their RINO conterparts. Only by doing that will we ever have the hope of defeating the liberal slant of the courts by putting in place conservative legislators who will allow truly conservative justices to be appointed, and who will pass new laws which will buttress our points of view.
Your question proves that I failed to get the basic point across, please allow me to explain.
My point is this: America is run by a very small elite that in fact controls both Parties at the top. This tiny elite "markets" policies to carefully defined issue/opinion segments, and then plays one off against the other in pursuit of their broad policy objectives - objectives that ultimately very few in the core constituencies of either party share. This tiny elite is our enemy.
Thus, we shouldn't vote for the Republicans because to do so is to do precisely what the enemy wants us to do. Voting Republican and working for Republican candidates because we fear an illusory "alterantive" - an illusion carefully cultivated by our enemies - is to dance to the very tune our enemies call for us.
The choice you suggest is pure illusion. The elites invented a matching pair of Tweelde Dee and Tweedle Dum strawmen. The same people pull the strings of both of puppets.
The Democrats are the gas, the Republicans are brakes, but the trick is to see that they're both integral parts of the same machine. They first let the Democrats' Tweedle Dee push toward our disenfranchisement and impoverishment, and then when that seems to be leading to a dangerous reaction, they let the Republican Tweedle Dum take over for a while and lull the sheeple back to quiesence. It's very effective.
The first step is to REALIZE THAT and to quit playing into the hands of our enemies.
And they are our enemies. They are sponsoring a silent invasion of our sovereign territory in the hopes of depressing our wages and creating so much Yugoslavia-style social upheaval on the local level that we'll all be too busy to stop their march to totalitarian power.
STOP SUPPORTING THE REPUBLICANS.
They are the enemy. The first step is to quit the suckers' game that they've laid out for us.
Once we've agreed to that, we can talk about realistic alternatives. As you can probably guess, I believe the alternatives are already very stark, but that's another conversation.
All the best.
