I turned my Hispanic in-laws from Democrats into Republicans by not backing down from my principles, i.e. pro-life, pro-Constitution. My youngest child (of three) is the most conservative yet, and his older brother and sister are reliably on the right side of things.
I'll damned if I'm going to keep spinning my wheels to keep GOPe in office, ready to stab me in the back when it suits their needs.
GOPe is becoming a minority party because they’re at war with their base: Tea Partiers and evangelicals. It’s a simple as that.
That was my thought too, if the GOPe turns it’s back
on it’s base, it deserves to be a minority party.
If they would instead support their base their strength
would be awesome and the attractiveness of their ideals
would only generate more enthusiasm.
