"lowest turnout since 1980??? 55 million voted for mccain 1992 39 million voted republican ??"While I appreciate your point, apathetic voters don't tell the whole story, in my opinion.And this figure tells the whole story.
Another problem is that DC politicians have been ignoring the Constitution that they swear to defend. This practice has been going on since FDR established his constitutionally unauthorized New Deal federal spending programs in the 1930s.
And what's worse is that the people are so detached from the intentions of the Founders as reflected by the Constitution that they are impotent to stop their federal "leaders" from perverting the Constitution, particularly the following statues concerning the requirement for enumerated federal government powers.
Article I, Section 8, Clause 18: To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution (emphasis added) in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.10th Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
while a agree with everything you said, a 16 MILLION voter difference is exactly the problem...I will say it again, the libtard votes in every election, regardless of who is running...we have entire blocks of voters who would sit home if they do not get everything they want handed to them on a silver platter (evangelicals for example)...so we continue to lose elections, mathematically. Now, as for the drift of the party from right to center to left of center, again, if the voters do not go to the polls and vote in the primary’s for the conservative, well, ya won’t get very many conservatives on the national ticket if you don’t vote in the primary’s...the turnouts in the primary’s are dismal at best...if you want to see change, if you want a conservate slate, with real conservatives on the ballot, then come home early from your damn vacations, and get to the polls...if we nominate conservatives, the party will have no choice but to change....(rant off) and none of this is directed at you personally, and I apologize in advance if it is taken that way...whew
