If you don't understand that politics is all about give and take, you really shouldn't be involved.
Demanding all or nothing usually results in getting nothing.
It's your choice. But you need to know that's how it works.
I understand that politics involves give and take, it's just that I'm not willing to support a candidate who's willing to sacrifice or "give" away the core principles of conservatism just to get power. The Republicans kept telling us, "just wait until we get control of the senate (or house, or white house, or the courts) then we'll start being conservative." Well, the Republicans control everything, and they're not being conservative. The conclusion I draw from this is that the Republican party is not a conservative party. Our country is more socialistic now, than ever before. Obviously, the Republicans don't have the willpower to turn this trend around, in fact, almost everything they've done has furthered socialism. I, and many other conservatives, are just sick of this. We're at our breaking point, and this year, the Republicans are going to understand.
Uh, it's called a RINO train. Of course those nimwits could vote against it if they knew it had the votes to pass, this isn't new. Furthermore, regarding your 'give and take' excuse for poor leadership is what the senate is all about. That's why they don't make good presidential candidates.
If you don't understand that politics is all about give and take, you really shouldn't be involved.
I've come to this conclusion too..................
I'm just a citizen, a tax payer, and a voter.
I'm not a political operative anymore.
I don't want to be involved in politics and I expect my representitives in government to represent me, my family and my neighbors, not just the lobbyists and their masters.
So I'll take your advice and stop being involved.
