We will find common ground on the issues you mentioned in your last post.
You responded to a post I made to BA, who said, or inferrred that his vote was for sale and some republicans were not going to get it because the were not conservative in his eyes. I only pointed out the definitions of conservatism that I am familiar with.
The liberal interpretations by the supreme court are responsible for much of the BS we endure today. Now, with the loss of the Senate we are facing the possibility of a even more and solidly socialist court!
The Senate is key to the problem and the majority must be sufficient to get cloture!(60 votes)
A socially liberal republican who is fiscally conservative is not likely to stand in the way of a conservative court, since they run left to get elected and then move center.
To not vote for the republican on ideological grounds is to elect or make it more likely that the socialist will be elected. Even if the democrat pretends to be conservative they will vote the party line on most issues.
Interesting that you can make a judgement call like that. Glad you have a lot of experience with local NC politicians seeing as you live in Arkansas. You already know they're liberal just by their party affiliation and you're over a 1000 miles away. What kind of crystal ball do you have to see this? Do they sell them in stores?
As I noted on the national level I DO vote for the Republican in most cases. If I don't, I will not vote for the Democrat, I just abstain. But of course I'm of the belief of overturning the 17th Amendment and returning the power to the state legislatures as established by the Founders (darn it, that must be liberal too)
But on the local level, I have voted for Democrats because in many parts of this state they're more conservative than the Republican candidate
