I have noticed a concerted effort lately to point out to Republican leaning and right-leaning voters that “there really is a difference between the 2 parties”, followed by a list of policy differences.
To me, it is the trajectory that doesn’t change regardless of who is elected — the scope and scale and deficits and intrusions and failures of the federal government grow every day regardless of which party is in power.
Democrat voters vote for the government.
The rest of us don’t have a real alternative anymore, because while the Republicans say they are the party of small government and fiscal responsibility and law and order, they apparently don’t have the spine to actually do anything about it.
Then fix the Republican party. It has been done during Reagan and can be done again. Get involve in the primary process especially at the county level.
If the third party movement inadvertently gives 0bama the 2012 election, it will probably be too late to save the nation from a permanent one party Marxist state with a permanent command economy. Maybe then we could work for secession or just leave.
Great.
