The worst part of this mess is there no alternative. The democrats are worse, "
The RATS are much worse, but there is an alternative, work within the Republican party to make it more conservative.
I prefer to make an alternative, unfortunately the Republicrats have enacted so many laws to preserve their duopoly that it will be difficult.
Steal 15% of Republicans who are tired of big-government, and steal 5% of Democrats who might be Republican were it not for the religious-right aspect. This gives a Congress that's 45% Dim, 35% Republican and 20% spoiler party.
The Republicrats would have to temper their big-government, anti-liberty tendencies in order to pass anything, and would have to seriously gang-up (over 3/4 of each party) to stop a filibuster.
