I’m all for fighting and I agree this has been a long term problem, however, we always say ‘vote for the GOP and it will be better next time’ and the next time is always worse.
“...the next time is always worse.”
We are trying to take over the Republican party and we are having some success with that.
I have a lot of admiration for Bush, fils but his “compassionate conservatism” was not a good plan. And let’s not forget he too ran as, and at the start at least, governed as a “uniter not divider” who was going to reach across the aisle, etc.
Well, it cost us all a pretty penny and it did NOTHING for him politically.
But I still say this whole conservative counter revolution that’s going on is only 2- 2 1/2 years old. We need to keep working on the Republicans, I don’t think we can plan to build up some 3rd party, I just don’t see that working.
