Oh my goodness, you are right but this issue is as much a failure of conservatives who post here and elsewhere INSTEAD of being active in the community.
As much as I love Free Republic, I wonder if all our energies were devoted from here to beating the bushes to get more conservatives voting, opposing leftists, and above all fighting the left in education, we'd be much better off!
I'm reminded off 2014, when Matt Bevins was running in Kentucky against Mitch the Turtle, but the Turtle still won, with only about 30% of the eligible Republicans voting. And then people here b1tched and b1tched about the Turtle in the General Election, which didn't help at all. Bevins was better than McConnell, who was better than the democrat, but just couldn't get off their butts to help out, get the vote, etc., etc. God helps those who help themselves. We could have made a difference!
We almost got did, for a half a year--with the TEA party-- but went back to sleep somehow.
what we do works good evidence is that the Gov. of Va. will be resigning soon and its 100% due to Freeprers.
