You’re preaching to a stone wall. There are way too many folks here who REFUSE to hear the truth, thinking that somehow that magical *R* talisman after someone’s name, no matter WHO it is, will win the day and we’ll all live happily and prosperously forever more. And the party you were addressing is one of the biggest “party uber alles” types there is. There are any number who’ll support McLame or Romney, just because they’re “electable,” no matter HOW Democrat their behavior is. It’s a sad, sick game they play, and we Constitutional Conservatives always take it in the shorts from them.
You are correct, there are many, including on this board that would not accept 40% across the board reductions in Soc. Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Welfare, Education, and a host of other programs not spelled out in the Constitution.
To save the Republic we need massive cuts to the Federal Budgets, and sadly, very few people would be willing to take the pain necessary. They just want to talk about the GOP and how bad the democrats are, and 3rd parties.
Everyone acknowledges that the Democrats and Obama are much worse than the GOP, but, the real question is, are there any Republican Politicians willing to stake their career by telling the public the truth, that we are broke as a nation.
I believe we will be forced to cut those budgets, not by our politicians, but, by a bankrupt government.
I agree about your “preaching to a Stone Wall” argument, we as a nation are not ready to take the medicine of massive budget cuts, that are necessary.
