I don't "hate" republicans. I'd love nothing more than to have a GOP that actually stood for something.
I thought at one time that might actually be possible.
But people like you with your "I'll pay any price for control" mentality, make it increasingly difficult to believe that the GOP will ever be anything more than a slightly-less-socialist alternative to the democrats.
By excusing every failing, and telling them over and over and over that anything they do is OK provided it helps them stay in power, principle is lost to pragmatism.
And even that could be lived with if the pragamatic goals were liberty and rights.
But by your own admission, they aren't.
The goal is power. What's to be done with that power is of minimal concern by your own admission.
Read your own words on this thread.
They're an eye-opener.
Yes, I'm willing to pay whatever short-term price we have to pay to keep the Democrats out of power for another four and hopefully eight or tweleve years. As I've stated a thousand times it's the only way we can turnover the judiciary. If you let the Democrats have it back, we'll simply be adding more liberal activists to the bench and continue setting ourselves back decades at a time. The cycle has to be broken sooner or later. Might as well do it now while we have a popular Republican president and a majority in the Congress. We need to hang on to the presidency and continue building on the majority and continue replacing liberal judges with conservatives as the old libs retire or die off. We must also work to replace the Rinos with conservatives as we can (without losing the majority). We must also work in our local districts to move new conservative blood up the ladder. It can be done. Takes time, dedication and hard work. How else would you propose doing it?
Are you intentionally pushing the envelope of civility? You are trying my patience and I am not even involoved.
