“The fastest growing political party in the United States is the “No Party,” and the number of independents is mushrooming, mostly at a loss for Ds. Why? The Rs and the Ds have not taken their candidates to the woodshed when they should.”
THIS.
I got a call from the College Republicans the other day. They played a stock message about how they were going to round up a group of college students to register voters, knock on doors, and DEFEAT BARACK OBAMA.
When the donation pitch came after the message, I said that I didn’t have any confidence in a Republican group that doesn’t plan to oust the liberals in its own ranks.
Rather than sidetrack my statement or even make a mealymouthed defense of the GOP, the girl on the other end simply hung up on me.
This is why the Republicans will continue to lose young voters like me who can see through their lies.
While I don't agree with the girl hanging up on you--she handled that in the completely wrong way--as conservatives (if I can assume you're one), the Republican Party is the party that most closely aligns with us. It is up to us to change the party from within.
I'm not defending the current Republican establishment. I just don't think it's productive to hand the Presidency back to Obama, and the Congress back to Pelosi and Reid, while we squabble over our differences. Just as Democrats, Republicans too, fall across a broad spectrum when it comes to their stance on issues.
We can talk about how best to resolve our differences privately, while standing united publicly to defeat Obama and his cronies. If you're a young voter, you have the energy to join the Party and change it. Point out our shortcomings, but come with some ideas for fixing them. What better option do you have?
