I hope it doesn’t come to that, and will work to prevent it. You can do what you like. A lot of people “wouldn’t play the game” and sat out the last two Presidential elections, and look where that got us. They may have done what they felt was the right thing by not voting for the approved (lousy) candidate out of principle, but we all still have to suffer the consequences of a radical Dem President regardless.

If you actually think a McCain or Romney would have been any better I think you’re nuts. And if you just think they’d be slightly less bad, that’s even nuttier to me.

Did you hear Romney the other day DOUBLING down on Obamacare? He said, “I’d just give states more flexibility” to force HIS idea of healthcare reform (let’s quit calling it that when it’s about insurance and not care) that still requires the individual to buy a product.

Yeah, today we’d be much better off. /s

I’m not for setting out any election....but I do understand why some did that.

Greenfield writes.....and helped me understand why we see this game play as it does...let me share this:

“The battle between Obama and the Republicans is a sad and pitiful contest for the same reason that a baseball game in which one side plays by the rules and the other one races the bases in motorcycles and shoots the balls over the fence with an RPG..............................Ted Cruz has come the closest to understanding that the other side just doesn’t play by any rules, but lacks the leverage to make much of that........ Cruz is still a product of a system in which there are rules...... And that system is as ‘unfit for challenging the left-wing radicals running things as trying to play a game of chess against an opponent who feels like moving the pieces any which way he feels like and always claims to have won’.”

I think what I meant is that we can’t just throw in the towel when it looks pretty bad and our frustration levels are maxed to the hilt....winners go the last mile and that’s why they win...but with that they are looking for the potholes and what might cripple them from the race.......I think our guys are getting that however I am hoping it’s not to late...it could be... but we will only know by staying the course.

Also the Democrats and Republicans are basically on the same team now...so i don’t know how you discern the difference....you cannot go by the party affiliation because so many are in it together.

I’m in for Cruz at this point because he knows the legalese they use and can combat it....he took the leadership from Boehner for a time which showed me he’s willing and able to take on the party. His comment to Hannity that “Conservatives do not yet know how close we are to taking over the Republican Party”...which is what he wants to do....I intend to support his desire to change the party rather than go off in some left field and loose yet again.
