I’ve totally given up on that party; they are not worthy of my support.
Well, Old Possum, one might wonder just who is, because there isn’t a party waiting in the wings with the power, and principle to just take over.
That means to me that the issue is taking the Republican Party back from those mainstreamers that took it over. There are plenty of principled folks ready and able to do it, to include many principled elected officials, but not when the party base decides they are going to opt out of the process.
It is precisely why Mr Obama is in office. Now, if you think nothing gets the American people energized and focused on reality like having the worst President to ever occupy the White House, then you have certainly accomplished something, but just how far is that going to go before we get back to some kind of normalcy?
Maybe when he decides that conditions are so bad that he needs another four years in office bringing the country under his protective custody?
You are absolutely correct but, unfortunately, we are already on the Cloward-Piven trajectory to societal collapse.
We will need to overthrow the socialist tyranny that will be established after the collapse (2-4 years) to try to reform a more just government.
The chance of that government granting true freedom to the citizens is right between slim and fat.
Freedom, in the American sense, will not exist on this planet as long as Man rules himself.
I agree that the GOP-e is almost as corrupt as the Democrats but with the massive voter fraud that is being slowly uncovered why blame conservative Republicans.
If you have to point a finger it should angle straight toward the dems and their union supporters, the folks selling their vote, voting multiple times in multiple states and districts, and this is the dems doing. I don’t see anyone, even the dems, accusing Republicans of these types of theft.
Maybe one more time we try and help Republicans win then drop em if they don’t perform. It beats the hell out of a mutual suicide pact that seems to be forming. I have talked to a lot of people who asked me who voted for Obama in the last election and see very few bumper stickers that say Democrat anything on them leads me to believe that the fraud was more massive then anyone seems to think.
Maybe we are past the ballot box and into the next box already.
With reference to your post 13, I really hope that there is a contingent of principled people to take back the Republican Party. Unfortunately, I am not a leader or anyone who has the ability to be a strong participant in any movement to carry out such a movement. I can only stand on the sidelines and hope, albeit with a large helping of the pessimism that I expressed. I would add that my pessimism is helped along by my strong conviction that the American electorate has changed for the worse by the addition of the famed low-information voter, whose ranks have apparently greatly increased with the growth of the welfare state. If anything destroys this country, it will be this kind of individual, not people like me, who simply long for real conservative candidates to get them to the polling place.
If I am to be criticized for that, so be it. I can only state what I believe.
Therefore, I have to simply re-state my position that as presently constituted, I will not do anything, such as vote for the Republican Party’s likely-upcoming national candidates (the usual wishy-washy Jeb Bush types) or donate funds to the Party.
