GOP plantation....”
How about the Platform rather than the plantation?
The voters keep electing people who are not GOP platform adherents but reservation jumpers who just love to “WORK” with the democrats to solve our problems, when in many if not most cases, it is both parties, their free spending governance, love of government for all the wrong reasons, and their tender loving care of constituents, that are the real problems.
Am I in an alternate universe or are you. One of us is. Because you are giving people hell for not electing GOP while complaining that the GOP isn’t following the platform.
The people working with the libs are the GOP I and others rightly work to dethrone. So what is the issue here?
The platform of the gop is not relevant in my view. It’s propaganda for the ever shrinking numbers of true believers. Whatever platform is agreed to will be promptly ignored less than 5 minutes after the convention ends.
Even if the gop were to wake up one morning and make a serious effort to reform itself along conservative lines, it would be doomed to failure. Why? Because trust has been broken. Once broken, trust is very difficult to regain, and the gop has broken trust with conservatives so many times that there just isn’t any reserve to fall back on. Very few people who don’t have a vested personal interest in the gop would bother with a reform effort, sincere or otherwise. It would be perceived, logically, as a waste of time and effort.
There is an old saying that goes like this: fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. The gop is up around 346 in fooling conservatives.
The time of the gop as an opposition political party is simply over. We have a one party system with two factions that differ little in their views of governance.
