“...I think you miss the zeitgeist involved with this...far more important that purity be maintained rather than victory achieved through compromise...”
You know, I think we should strive for purity. That should be the goal. However, I’ll gladly settle for anything that moves us in the purity direction over what we have now.
I don’t think people really understand that what we have now is better than if Democrats held the US House. It infuriates me every time Speaker Boehner passes something with Democrat votes, but let’s not forget he’s only able to do that because every last Democrat is a guaranteed vote against us.
The built-in evil of the "Two-Party" System. Of course, at this time, the "Two Parties" are the same party. Constitutional authority has passed from the elected to the agencies created by them to carry out the "programs" that they hope will get them re-elected.
The agencies have become the permanent government and are now the absolute masters of the elected officials who created them. What this means is that candidates for office ask for your vote on the basis of getting YOU "more" and by the power they claim to intercede on YOUR behalf with the agencies that run our lives.
