"Republicans can't even pass real tax reform"

Yes, they can and they did. Tax cuts in 1995,1997, 2001, 2003, 2004.
Bush passed $1 trillion in tax cuts, lower rates across the board.

He couldnt cut more because he was adamantly opposed by Democrats.

If the Democrats win in November, it risks a recession because they refuse to extend the tax cuts and make them permanent. As a result, we will have huge tax increases.

To me, a few tax cuts are not tax reform. I may be raped less under Bush than I would be under, say, Gore or Kerry, but I'm still raped and beaten by the Fed. Tax reform is an actual reformation of this horrible tax system we have. When your party owns both houses and the Executive, it seems that actual reform could at least be on the table, and loudly so. Not just some cuts that sunset away in a few years. And what's up with that? Sunsetting tax cuts? Meanwhile, we get a great big new entitlement and they handily found no problem passing McCain-Feingold, an act they figure helps them politically. They're hopeless on immigration reform. What good are they?

Agreed, Democrats would be ten times, a hundred times worse and I will never, never vote for or support one. But this argument that not voting for a Republican puts a Democrat in power is not good enough after now so many years of liberal Republican waffling. If liberal Republicans don't win, maybe the RNC will spend a bit more time grooming real conservatives. And maybe not.
