Perhaps I’m in a minority here, but Republicans are DAMN GOOD on judges, RINOs included. And they’re certainly FAR BETTER on guns than the Democrats - unless you people know of Democrats who actually support gun rights (and no, not even Manchin does - even if he claimed it to get elected the first time).
After that, it gets murkier. Ideally, they’d also be for balancing the budget, but that is kind of hard to do when no one wants their taxes raised or entitlements touched, and have the country doesn’t want their welfare messed with. I guess they can do what the last 3 Republican presidents did, and get their heads handed to them in the next election*, but then is that good for the country?
*Reagan - raised Social Security Taxes and Cut Benefits (somewhat) - Republicans lost Senate right after, 1986.
*Bush Sr. - tried to balance the budget by raising taxes, lost re-election in 1992 because of it. And then Bush Clinton took the credit for actually balancing the budget, thanks, in part, to Bush’s tax increase.
*Bush Jr. - tried to partially privatize Social Security in 2005 - lost House and Senate in 2006.
As far as I’m concerned, at this point, JUDGES ARE EVERYTHING. They are the only people who can protect the Second Amendment and they are the only people who can, hopefully (with enough Scalias) actually scale-back government greatly, by simply eliminating what is not Constitutionally authorized. The can also STOP DEMOCRATS in their tracks, including instigating (or at least giving the justification for) a military coup, if needed, should the Democrats go a bit too far in their Leftist direction, should they get power. Lose the JUDGES, and we ARE DOOMED, no hope.
Im with youall the way!
They are the only people who can protect the Second Amendment.
Why has this country become so complacent that we put all our faith in others. We, THE PEOPLE of the United States can protect the Second Amendment. If we were to stand united, we could do anything. The Left, with a group text or Facebook message can round up hundreds or thousands to protest stuff they know nothing about.
What would happen if all the states that have Republican leadership, there are more of them than those run by the Left by almost 2 if I’m not mistaken, stood united and told Congress.....ENOUGH. We’re not your whipping boys anymore. We’re not paying for your unfunded mandates. We’re not taking in your illegal aliens or refugees. No more anything.
