No, I’m not taking my marbles and going home. I am planning to do as much as I can and one thing I’ll do is only support the Republicans who have the guts to fight on.
I’m not the one quitting.
I understand the frustration, and I’m only pointing out that we have been in this funk before....History repeats...
The usual agitated utterances are to form a third party.
That is utter bunk! It is also political suicide by way of vote dilution.....happened before when the old antiwar anti-foreign involvement wing of the party split off but they failed to have any effect and numerous attempts have been made including the Libertarian and constitution parties.
Any splits along these lines will result in a longer time coming back. It just is what it is.....
That's all I'm trying to say, and it sickens me to read the usual rhetoric...been there....done it....so it prompts a reply from me, always misunderstood and mostly ignored...
The reasons we lost are numerous, but mostly due to complacency. Turnout sucked.....on both sides but theirs were more loyal....they voted more against us then they did for their side. They don't want to hear our ideas. They are afraid of them and voted for the status quo....
So what! You think a few eager to compromise republicans caused that loss? No Way........
What caused that loss was a political machine that with it's media was able to with cute little rhetorical catch phrases and general denigration of the brand to pigeon hole conservatives as crazy, fringe and ill informed.
It worked and will continue to work until people see that they killed the golden goose.....the economy. It's going to take a while to repair the damages.....and I believe it will take hitting the bottom to do so. just like a drug addict or garden variety alcoholic.
