If only life could be that simple. Vote any non-Republican candidate (libertarian, etc.) and you WILL get a Democrat win every election until the end of time. There is standing firm on perceived "principles", then there is a strategy to be in any sort of a position of power, ever, to impliment those principles. Yes, it sux. We are being laughed at huge.
If you want more of something, vote for it.
Where is the incentive for the stupid party to hold any resemblance of conservatism?
There isn't because of foolish ignorant sheep that think an (R) after someone's name will somehow make them different than if they had a (D) printed after their name.
Wow, such a winning strategy - look at how well that strategy worked preventing cloture votes for funding 0care.
Hell, look at how well that strategy worked in the lead up to that idiot voting for 0care out of committee and into the House for a general vote when the rats had a majority/control in all three branches.
The very root of the problem with the stupid party is the party doesn't have any core values or principles - and neither does its constituency.
Bohner, Cantor, McCain, Cornyn, Ryan, Romney and nearly all the rest are spineless wishy-washy pansies that would sell their soul for a vote. And worse, they expect you to sell give up your soul to vote for them; so long as idiots vote for wretched bastards like this - they will continue to act accordingly.
The above mentioned can't even be called "RINO" anymore. They aren't "in name only," this is what the Republican Party has by and large become - it is the Rand Pauls and the Ted Cruzes that have become the "RINO." What has been sown, is now available for reaping.
You can either continue to sow weeds with the stupid party, or plant a new crop.
