As long as conservatives believe there are only two choices, Republican or Democrat then they will not ever see any meaningful choice when it counts. I voted the Republican ticket without fail from ‘68 up until ‘96 when the Republican party shoved me aside and stopped representing me as a principled conservative. I now vote for the person that best represents my values and since at least 1992 that has not been the party that has come to represent bloated bigger and more intrusive government.
And until people wake up and start to see there isn’t really all that much difference between the two major parties then they will continue serve them as indentured slaves in mind and in deed. Republicans are proving to me with each passing day that they aren’t really much different than the Democraps. Both parties are selling us all out for a pocketful of gold.
I disagree emphatically with the phony notion that that “there isn’t really all that much difference between the two major parties” and could cite chapter and verse. But I’ll leave that argument aside, and just say it is best to put aside the party labels and look at each political leader and candidate as individuals, and see who are doing and saying the right things and follow them.
Almost all the Senators and Representatives saying the *right* things about what needs to be done - DeMint, Sessions, Grassley - and running for president, eg, Duncan Hunter, are Republicans.
Example: Rep John Boehner called the senate immigration bill a ‘piece of s888’
Immigration is a ‘wedge’ issue that splits the GOP base from many elites in both parties. We simply have to cull wheat from chaff and support *ONLY* those candidates who support the right position on immigration, whatever the party label.
