Right back at ya :)
Sorry, but there’s no reason why 1 ‘major city’ (let’s say 5-10%) negates the will of the other 90-95% of the State. If anyone got the message out, it was the 90-95%.
If we still had a Constitutional Republic, it would not MATTER what the ‘message’ is....nobody could use the force of gov’t to rob another for their own benefit, ones’ own $$ could not be used to buy votes, etc.
Tell me, outside the static 40% for each party, what exactly did Romney bring to the table last round (aside from ‘ditto’ to everything O was yammering about)?
Now, WHY was there only the 2 party cartel in the debates? Because they have GAMED the system that no other voice(s) are allowed.
In the land of Capitalism, the electoral process is the ONLY place where more choices are a ‘bad thing’?!
Well, Bush was the last ‘hold my nose’ vote. The system and the message the GOP have aren’t swaying me from, at the least, a write-in.
Ah, that’s a totally different issue.
I agree. The party doesn’t get our votes automatically. They need to earn them.
But that is a different subject altogether. It has nothing to do with making voting harder. We shouldn’t be restricting voting, we should be making sure that we nominate candidates worth voting for.
Conservatism is the better political philosophy. So long as we do it justice. That’s where our efforts should be - if we do our job then we don’t have to keep relying on low turnout to win statewide or national elections.
