“..When you say ‘ourselves’ you are speaking of Republicans as a party? I am not sure how you and I are compromised..”
I meant us, as in the country overall, but in a narrower sense, those who believed that the GOP top echelon is really as “conservative” as they like to portray.
Any illusions I had were wiped clean when I was called a “racist” by Pres. Bush because I wanted a border fence built (as Congressionally-mandated) and the border enforced (as Constitutionally-mandated). So this latest “expose” comes as no surprise to me.
“..I tend to disagree with everyone about something. ..”
That’s just normal and natural; I do too. Typically though your posts are enlightening, blunt, and straight to the point, which is agood thing. You’ve got a better grasp of the political machinations than I do.
Basically, I just think they all suck anymore, with some few exceptions.
Same experience. You go back 16 years to 1994 parallel of this exact year and I can tell you the conservative republican principles were completely different than we saw when Republicans finally got the White House and Congress.
I was 16 years younger and it was a time for a tidal wave of optimism about conservative reform and reducing Washington's power. I really believed and it felt great! We have seen too much bad (including independents that believed in Obama) as has the rest of the country to have real hope again!
