Wow! calling me out as a “troll”?! Again, the last resort of a weak argument, or an effort to totally dismiss someone is to brand them. It just shuts down conversation. I appreciate your beliefs but there is no reason to call me something like that. Why resort to that?
You believe what you have written and you make good points. I believe something else...so what? I believe it is a greater evil to allow Obama to stay in the white house then it is to vote for Mitt. At least we have space to breath and push the agenda forward with him as president. Another four years of this guy and you may not have the freedom to push. That’s what I believe, and I’m no troll for having that belief.
As is painfully obvious, it means that as the ideology diverges from dead center, each party contains a very broad spectrum of political thought. There are Conservatives who vote Democrat. There are Liberals who vote Republican.
As the Two-Party System has evolved, the Center, the Center Right, and The Center Left have coalesced to divide the spoils. The Republican Party gets its cut, win lose or draw. If the cut is OK, it's easy to see why they don't particularly care about winning more than a good seat at the table.
Along the way, the Republican Party has absolutely conceded the machinery of Government to the Democrats, as one lunch in DC will prove to even the most obtuse.
Now, what do we do about it? Or about Mitt? So far he has not outlined a Program, A Plan, nor shown the leadership to implement the constitutional reforms needed to cure the Republic. And, neither has anyone else.
