I think you’re mistaking Republican for conservative.

Hey, yeah, silly me!

I thought Republicans would try to actually advance a Republican agenda. What was I thinking?

"I thought Republicans would try to actually advance a Republican agenda."

Which now begs the question:

Just exactly what is a Republican agenda?

Or, to make it easier on you; what should be the Republican agenda for the next year?

Next five years?

Next ten years?

Oberon: “I thought Republicans would try to actually advance a Republican agenda. What was I thinking?”

Don’t be so hard on yourself, Oberon. I thought the same thing. I figured with the house, senate, and presidency in Republican hands, we would win. It was only later that I realized conservatives were still a minority, with the RINOs holding the key positions of power.

I want to see the RINO sellouts defeated but not at the cost of putting Democrats in the same positions. If we can’t beat the RINOs (McCain comes to mind), then it’s up to us to try to influence them. We can’t do that if we pick up our toys and go home.

Don’t forget: the amnesty folks had the presidency and a good part of congress but lost...TWICE. McCain, Bush, and the RINOs notwithstanding, they couldn’t make it happen! That’s cause for hope so long as we don’t give up.
