“It was, actually. (D) or (R), we’re headed to the same destination.”
Wrong and delusional. I’m voting Republican both in the mid-term and in the next general election because I am not self destructive, and I don’t want to bring this country down any more than Obama has done so already. For all its faults, the Pub Party is still the only one for this moment in history, as there is no viable 3rd party that could win, and there isn’t enough time to start another one before our country would already be ruined by the socialist fascist Party now in control.
You can live in la la land, like the irrational and illogical leftists that are now in power, or you can live in reality and deal with the political landscape as it actually is. I refuse to be nutz like the liberals are.
I’m totally wary of 3rd parties, as there are a bunch of them already, and none of them ever seem to make up a large enough majority to win an election. How would starting up yet another 3rd party (actually it would be more like a 7th or 8th or more party) solve anything?
It too would undoubtedly not attract enough people to actually win an election, and it wouldn’t be long before the new party would start the infighting and political bickering that would splinter it into ever more parties. That has already been happening to some extent with the larger national groups of the Tea Party.
An analogy would be Christian religions. After the reformation, new religious sects sprouted up like dandelions on a front lawn in summer. As Martin Luther himself said on his deathbed (paraphrasing) even a Milk Maid could now start up a new religion.
If a 3rd party is wanted, pick from one that already exists, but few will as everyone wants a party that thinks exactly as they do. Work with the one that exists (Pubs) and change from within, which is what most of the Tea Party is trying to do anyway. That is the method that gets my Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval. We have run out of time to do anything else without running the risk of our country already being too far gone if the liberal socialists remain in power.
Ruined? Or brought to a point where we can REALLY fight back, and re-establish TRUE CONSERVATISM? The GOP had a MAJOR opportunity with a GOP controlled House, Senate and WH from 2000-2006. They did NOTHING with it, other than give us the Patriot Act, which is currently being used against us real Americans, not terrorist. No thanks. Your continued support of the GOP is the same as support for the Dems.
