What's worse, he was elected when the economy was already growing for over a year, and he was in office when the "peace dividend" from the end of the Cold War and the Tech Boom had kicked in. He had nothing to do with any of that, but he got the credit for the job growth and "balanced budget" that resulted. We have been at a disadvantage ever since.
“My path” isn’t some Zen bit of esoterica. It’s voting FOR what you believe in. Please explain what is ‘wrong’ with that considering it’s what the founders intended we do.
If you expect to get what you want by either voting against it or relying on the altruism of the GOP, than don’t feel shocked and please, don’t complain on internet sites when your fantasy stubbornly refuses to materialize.
Not enough people believe what you do? Afraid of losing? Here’s a radical idea. Campaign for your beliefs and bring people on board to your position.
George Herbert Walker Bush promised he would continue the Reagan Revolution, he didn’t; The result, Clinton was elected. There would have been no Perot if GHWB had really been the third term of Reagan like he promised.
“Many of us chose your path in 1992 and voted for Perot. The result, Clinton was elected.”
So we should go with your plan which is what? Voting for more uniparty pukes with an “R” after their name? Gee, that’s a plan. But I think I like my plan more: I intend to get up bright and early on the 4th of November and go to work. I’ll spend the extra time I’ll have from skipping the polls to do some ironing. You go ahead and wait in line and vote for your favorite gop politicians.
The difference between my plan and your plan is that when all is said and done, I’ll have some nicely pressed shirts to show for it.
