....because voting straight Republican has been so effective. LOL! The Establishment Republicans have drifted so far left, they are at the level of Democrats in the 1950's and 1960's.
Political power, blah blah blah. I'm voting my conscience. I'm voting conservative. If people think like me, my side wins.
Shiiiid, dawg, at this point in America's history, I don't think even a straight set of wins by conservatives for a decade will help pull us out of the crash-trajectory. The economy won't handle all the entitlements out there. It just isn't sustainable.
They are all voting for more free stuff and you are sitting in a corner pouting. It’s a very novel political theory, wonder why it hasn’t been tried before? I’m sure that they are all quite happy for you to continue with your plan.
