That’s the problem I have with many conservatives, and I mean that with respect. They want their egos fed, while voting. And I’m just making a general point, I’m not intending to get personal here,
We had the most important election, in probably 100 years, and upwards of 7 million Republicans/conservatives stayed home because they disapproved of the choice that they had to vote for.
We had a real opportunity to do many good things, like a balanced budget amendment, or upwards of 4 Supreme court appointments, closing departments that really are the responsibility of the state such as education, shutting down Obamacare.
But no, they stayed home. Now, we honestly run the risk of the Senate voting for any number of UN treaties that are dangerous to the US’ ability to remain a sovereign country, perhaps even replacing the Constitution with an “improved” version that is approved by the UN.
And there’s nothing we can do about it, until 2014 at the earliest. That is, assuming there will still be elections at that point, and I’m being facetious about that point. I am genuinely concerned about where the country might be four years from now.
On the plus side, I think conservatives could use some chastisement, and if that’s the only real damage done by Obama, than there may be hope for the country yet.
I meant that I was not really being facetious on that point.
They lost because they ran as managers of the welfare State, not changing it.
