I’m about to give up on political parties altogether.
My local Republican party and all our elected officials have endorsed a horrible Democrat crony capitalist project (a coal terminal) that will absolutely destroy a good portion of the county and provide very few jobs, under pressure from unions. On the other side the Democrat environmentalists only care about the coal coming through their town on the trains, not about the rural area that they were supposed to want to protect and preserve.
I am convinced that the Republicans are no different than the Democrats and are only self interested and all about power. The Republicans have no ideological core, no center. Even the so-called Tea Party is supporting the crony capitalism.
Coming soon: The Conservative Party of America
A LOT OF US FEEL THAT WAY THESE DAYS!
