Thanks for interjecting some realism into this discussion. It’s a hollow “victory.” And I doubt Cassidy will really be that conservative.
Thank you. But we don’t need another conservative in Congress. Liberalism vs. Conservatism is a false dichotomy. It’s really individualism vs. statism. We need congressmen committed to individual rights. Both liberals and conservatives are committed to big and bigger government. When so-called conservatives control the levers of power does federal spending go down? Are cabinet departments eliminated?
Do we avoid foreign entanglements? Are federal regulations eliminated? No. So conservatives are part of the problem, not the solution.
I will support so-called conservatives when they are fully committed to:
abolishing the Fed, returning to the gold standard, privatizing public education, getting the government out of health care, and ending the federal role in public assistance.
As far as immigration reform is concerned, conservatives should be advocating “Open Borders-—No Benefits.”
