Not one vote from Republicans for Obamacare..... Do you have any idea what that means in the real world ?
Let me know when your Right Wing Utopia arrives,
Having grown up in a household where William Buckley’s ideas were the topic at dinner my understanding is that conservatism is based on an the understanding and an acceptance of human nature.
Human Nature being what it is there is no perfection...... None!
Conservatism is a long time struggle against an ideology that is based in utopian delusion It is not a wild expectation that every politician will somehow do what You think they should.
Also If you pay attention you will notice that congress has all sorts of arcane rules that politicians have to out maneuver.
In my view this congress has done a very good job of holding the line against a determined ideologue.
Democrats will be toast next time around if people are smart enough to vote for Republicans. Conservatism is ascendant and Liberalism is going the way of the DO DO Bird....and yet the author of this piece and people like you act like the real enemy is a party that Ronald Reagan championed and which he would be proud of today
“In my view this congress has done a very good job of holding the line against a determined ideologue.”
How exactly have they done that? Voting agains’t Obamacare which is hugely unpopular was not exactly a heroic acheivement.
Have they held the line on the debt ceiling? Uh no.
Have they blocked activist SCOTUS appointments (Kagan and Sotomayor)? Uh no.
Have they kept the EPA from running amok with our energy and food production? Uh no.
And on and on.
Like I said before if you are waiting for the current republican leadership to put up a significant fight again’st Obama prepare for disappointment.
