I don’t want America to go down the tubes, but I do think serious pain will be the only way to wake some Americans up and stop this madness toward full blown socialism.
Unfortunately, you're right.
But my point is, the GOP is the only credible vehicle for moving a conservative agenda forward. Despite what some of the nose-picking idiots on this thread think, the GOP is not full of RINOs trying to "appease the Left". I'd like to see how some of these idiots would face if they ever ran for office. Using tact and common sense and knowing when to pick your audience is just a part of politics. Rush Limbaugh can get away with saying he wants Obama to fail on his radio show. Cantor couldn't get away with it without it being twisted and turned against him on Stephanopolous' show. A one-sentence statement with a generality about "not wanting anything to fail" does not mean that Cantor is on board with Team Obama and trying to "appease the Left".
Any "conservative" who would rather sit on their thumb and grouse about bad things that some Republican officeholders do, instead of joining together to RETAKE the party and make it what we'd all like to be, are worse than just useless. They are actually counterproductive, HARMING the cause of conservatism, and thus America. People like that on here on Free Republic are scumsucking worms, AFAIAC.
