The problem arises in 2012 with the open primary system where, if Obama runs unopposed, the democrats WILL attempt to screw with the Republican primarys. So if the worse happens in we get stuck with Candidate RINO, what are we to do?
Actually we are on track to mitigate that problem, but it has to happen in 2010.
Right now, as we all realize, the Congress is doing the President’s bidding and not working for the people.
Come 2010 we have the opportunity to install people who are going to Washington to represent, We the People. The Tea Party folks get this idea. Their whole throw the bums out idea really ain’t so bad or so wrong, even if it only results in a 5% change in the Congressional body. Add that 5% onto the regular folks who are going to vote Republican in 2010 and we have the change we need.
The Throw the Bums Out movement is of benefit because it reminds the folks, the citizens, that we are indeed still a Republic. WE hold the responsibility for WHO sits in those DC offices.
I have often said it doesn’t really matter who sits in the office of President. All bad legislation can be stopped or mitigated in Congress. Right now though we have one party rule and a President abusing power. Again, if we take up the mantel of who we seat in Washington...we can stop all this nonsense.
