I'm a conservative, but I'm also a realist. We have a two party system in this country, and it's not gonna change any time soon. If you don't support the more conservative party then by doing nothing you are helping the liberals. By your standard, the Reagan Revolution would never have been started. This is a very long process that is starting to pay in spades, but you have to have the patience to understand the amount of time a realignment of a party takes. We are talking decades and not years.

Emphasis added. I agree with what you posted mr_hammer, but I feel I must give the GOP more time. After the debacle in PA with Toomey basically being blackballed, I was close to giving up on the GOP (and I still find their actions inexcusable there), but as conservativecorner said, we have a two party system in this country. That's reality. Voting for a third party may make you or I "feel good" at the ballot box for doing the "right thing", but feel good feelings won't get anything done.
