>The GOP had better do something about Iowa and NH being first and second next time around,those states are a joke.
I used to think like that. Because our leaders, the GOP establishment would want to do what is best for Conservatism.
I am now certain they want it that way. The current screwed up system is the only way they can prop up their loser moderate each election cycle. Think about it. Bush I, Dole, McCain, Romney. None of them would stand a chance if the first ten states to vote were the ones who went most strongly Conservative in the last general.
The current system is their lever of power. They will never let go of it, lest us genuinely Conservative Proles be allowed to pursue our dangerous, uncompassionate Conservatism unchecked by their benevolent moderate magnificence.
Palin was the only outsider who *might* have upset the whole applecart (and even she could have turned out to be disappointing). Sadly, regardless of who wins this time, I think we will not be seeing anything change anytime soon.
The whole system is rotten.
Here is my take. Both parties have cast off truth and have slipped into the abyss. The Democrats just did it first and with more fervor.
All truth comes from the author of truth, God Almighty, and it is no shock that as America casts Him aside, they become increasingly liberal.
Most pols today have no compass that points them to truth. It really is all about power, not service to God and country.
Although I am a little miffed at Perry for his attack on capitalism, especially since he wants to do to the DOE, Commerce and Energy what Bain did (get rid of under performers and thus leave many out of a job) (oh, and btw, I have little or no regard for Romney, but just speak to truth)... Perry is right when he talks about a part-time congress. A citizen congress as envisioned by the founders. The term “career” and “politician” should never appear in the same sentence.
As Rhode Island's Roger Sherman wrote during the Constitutional Convention of 1787, “Representatives ought to return home and mix with the people. By remaining at the seat of government, they would acquire the habits of the place, which might differ from those of their constituents.” .
Term limits would cure alot, IMO!
