[A CA Guy]

Republicans are one of two viable parties.

They are grabbing the people and they will make more people conservative.

Once in power long enough, they could change the culture enough to get away from all the social spending.

It is human nature that is weak. The vote is easily swayed by giving things away and that is the people's fault.

If Republicans tried to stay true to their conservative beliefs about never growing anything socially, then they would not see power again ever the way people are right now.

Taking themselves out of the game but being 100% real conservative does us no good in the end.

These are necessary evils at this time that need to be shaved back later.

If Republicans tried to stay true to their conservative beliefs about never growing anything socially, then they would not see power again ever the way people are right now.

Like I said, republicans are weak, not strong. The people want strong people of principle, not weak one's who blow with the wind. The democrats want you to believe that the people want a leader like this and you've let them dupe you.

So, do you support the actions of the 11 republicans who tried to raise taxes by $1.1 billion or not?

A simple yes or no will do.
