The Republican Party needs a lot of quality control that it isn’t getting because the general market wants a diluted product, or so the managers seem to think. Forget the Republican Party. Conservatives should start concentrating on promoting and supporting conservatives, even if they are Democrats. My straight Republican ticket days are gone for good. The Republican Party is destroying conservatism.
I agree with much of what you said. The Republican Party has lost its way. I’ll support good conservatives and those of good character. I’m so sick of the partisan BS where a proposed government action is once wrong(D) and then correct(R).
We saw this in California, a lot. When the Democrats had proposed something, it was vociferously opposed by all Republicans. But when our new liberal(R) governor proposed the same thing, the marketing brigade was out pushing it as the best thing since sliced bread. Corruption, double standards, nanny-state policies—all need to be purged, IMO.
