Norm, I could have written your post 62, word for word.
Since the beginning of GWB’s second term eight years ago, it has been a steady decline with the GOP leading the charge against all I hold dear.
The election of 2010 was the one bright hope, but now I realize that it is the express intent of BOTH parties to manage the decline of America and to feast off its carcass, all the while convincing us to rally round the flag, boys, one more time. I am just a speed bump in their road.
I left the GOP a month ago.
I want to fight too. I call congressmen and Senators all the time, on all the issues, but now I realize it really is an exercise in futility.
They don’t love America. They are in the inner circle and they aim to stay there, because the perks are out of this world.
Out of 535 members of Congress, I only respect less then ten.
Look at Benghazi-think there will ever be justice there?
Obama is now unstoppable. the Dems will tolerate the Pubs for exactly two more years. The Dems will win the House at all costs in 2014 and retain the Senate, after a campaign of vilification against the GOP they will not believe.
Then we will be back to Pelosi as Speaker, and John Boner will be crying because they locked the GOP out of the committee rooms again.
For good.
Can’t go through the head games anymore for people who are not worthy.
Well, at least I know there are still good guys like you around and we can check in from time to time. We have all been gelded now, some here don’t realize it yet.
Hope the GOP enjoys its last two years as a political force. or forty years before 1994, they were the minority party and they enjoyed being that. for twenty years they had the stage and completely blew it. Not to worry, they will be comfortably in the minority by the start of the 114th Congress, and they will never have to worry about making waves again.
Without any help from me.
Ever.
If someone could unite all the third parties the defectors from the GOP would have a home. Because most of those share core conservative principles.
A pipe dream because of the egos involved. But a good pipe dream.
But only because most lack the will to make it happen. I would love nothing more than to sit in a room with the heads of each and ask them one thing. “Are we all so different that we CANNOT come together and rout the GOP, saving America in the process?”
It would not be like the dems with all their little groups that hate each other coming together to form a power bloc. Because Libritariand don’t hate Constitutionalists and so forth. We are all separated by relatively minor details in most cases. True there are more serious issues, but they are few and potentially fixable. But that’s about the best choice we have.
But ego will be the stumbling block. Always is. And we are doomed because of it.
