” Elections are not about individual races, or even the political philosophy of individual candidates. Elections are about political power and power is exercised through the two major political parties. “
I absolutely agree with your statement. The Republicans love power as much as any Commie.
Why should us peons desire a limited G’ment when our bettors can tell us what to do, when to do it and how to do it?
The ones currently holding the reins of power in the Party, at least. They are statists through and through; have been since before the days of Nelson Rockefeller. They hated Reagan then, and their successors today look down their noses at anyone who reveres him (while presenting a façade of "conservatism" for the flybys). They're the despicable wretches supporting the likes of Thad and Mitch.
