“How is it that we find ourselves in this sorry predicament?”
It’s called Iowa, and it sucks.
Personally I believe so. In fact, I've come to call it the "status quo" party.
It's the old "good cop / bad cop" game being played masterfully on the entire nation. All the while we sheep are being sheared regularly.
A sufficient explanation is human nature (people judge themselves by their intentions and others by their actions) and the historically unique modern system of propaganda.
Since “conspiracy” can explain anything it can explain nothing.
The people are still asleep.
They believe whatever the MSM tells them, in preference to what their own eyes tell them.
Do we have a one-party system masquerading as two?

I have both books!
This is why all government eventually leads to tyranny, and why the founders never wanted anyone to have a vote if they didn't pay taxes.
They designed a brilliant system of checks and balances, and over time we let the lawyers erode it away. Now we're subjects again, not citizens. We've traded our one tyrant 300 miles away for 3,000 tyrants, one mile away. And I'm afraid the only way we're going to get rid of the new tyrants, is the same way we got rid of the last one.
Just can’t get into Ron Paul but those history books are interesting!
I found it a bit interesting, and I would have stayed to listen had there been more.
However, don’t you think it might have been more honest to have said up front that........ this was a video in support of Ron Paul??
We had the chance to rally behind Romney and we blew it. Nothing more to it than that.
That is because conservatives seem to tend to not worry much about local, state and congressional elections and focus instead on the Presidency.
This fight is going to be long and hard, and until we begin outing RINO's and replaceing them with conservative candidates on all levels, we will face situations like this.

In fact, most of the Presidents have been mediocre men. There aren't many of them who could successfully run a major business. I wouldn't hire either Slick Willy or Dubya to fill an important position in a major company. Would you?
Maybe, the answer is that the American Presidency isn't really as important as most people think it is. How many Presidents actually have much effect on the vast federal government bureaucracy while they are in office?
If the Presidency really was an important position, the Presidents that we've had would have done more damage to the USA than they have done.
Maybe, the really important people are private business leaders and career bureaucrats.
Perhaps, the best strategy to minimize the damage the Rats, the GOP and the mediocre men who become President can do is to put a different party in the White House every four years. If FDR had only been President for 4 years, the significant damage that he was able to do to the US could have been minimized.
Of course, this same argument could be applied even more so to the Senate, which is composed mostly of truly mediiocre people.
The electorate contains the power to vote for responsible public servants and hold their feet to the fire concerning: Legislation, execution and judicial appointments.
Instead the electorate gave up the “car keys” and let the State/Federal bureaucracies assume control.
“The people” have become addicted to public money and “feel good” regulations. We have simply dropped the ball.
Too many litmus tests for candidates.
