Until liberalism is dead and gone and it doesn't leave even a hint of it's spawn behind, we have to rely on the GOP.
You could use two bases to launch military attacks. One base has all the right equipment and personnel but it will need years and years of retrofitting and construction to accomodate your war machines. By then, the war might be over, not necessarily in your favor.
The other is somewhat overgrown with plants, some equipment is missing and the people may not be 100% reliable. But with some renovation and hirings/firings, you end up with a viable base ready to strike the enemy hard and fast.
Which one would you use?
The last times we try to "teach the GOP a lesson" we got stuck with "Malaise the Peanut Guy" and got gang-raped by the "Most Ethical Administration Ever." I'm not sure I look forward to that. The GOP isn't perfect by a longshot but the Demons are absolutely depraved.
"God may not be a Republican, but Satan is definitely a Democrat."
Politics doesn't work that way. The members of the GOP are basically governing as socially conservative democrats. That isn't good enough.
If the GOP feels enough backlash at the ballot box, then they will have to rethink their liberal ways. On the other hand, if the GOP keeps getting blind support from those who it panders to but then abandons, then what motivation do they have to change?
