I've no BS to post. It's just that giving up is not the answer - I've no answers, other than to participate whereever possibly, vote even Republicans out - for new Republican blood - but, turning it over to the rats like so many freepers want to do is silly and stupid, at best. Perhaps the whole bunch are actually democrats? Hmmmmm....
Anyway, I'm not trying to start an agruement with anyone, I'm just so very disappointed to see the rat vote percentage here - this is my first thread and a vanity thread, but I just had to say something as we all know that compromises need to be made at all levels of life and, yes, it's hard to understand some of the latest compromises that Republicans have made, but to let it all go to the rats is insanity.
I respectfully disagree. The reason people don't understand is that they are too close to the fire. I believe that you and I want the same thing. However, you are too focused on the battle rather than the war. Republicans win the battles time after time but the war is being lost. The liberal agenda has been advanced more in the last 6 years than in the previous 30.
Many conservatives have recognized this and realize that to win the war, we need to lose this battle. If the Republicans win again and continue down their misguided path, the war will surely be lost.
Another way to look at is to compare it to sports teams. Sometimes you need to cut under-performing veterans in order to bring in younger players. The result will surely be a losing season or two but the objective is to have a very competitive team in two to three years. The difference being having a mediocre team for years or a championship contender in two to three years.
Keep in mind, the objective is to have a conservative government in place as soon as possible. When you analyze the situation, the only real way to accomplish this quickly is to vote against those Republicans who have sold us out.
