No. You’re wrong.
What you want is 100% perfection and everyone marching in lock step.
Sorry to disappoint you, but politics doesn’t work that way.
Never has. Never will. The US Senate certainly will never work that way.
What you want is perfection and utopia. You will never get it.
I live in CA stuck with Boxer and Feinstein for over 20 years.
I would kill to have a US Senator who voted my way at least 70% of the time instead of 0% of the time.
No, marching in lockstep is what you want. Regardless of who the candidate is, as long as they have an R after their name you want us to blindly support them. So I'll ask you what I asked another FReeper.
Look at the primaries in Mississippi where the establishment used their influence over the courts and the party to ensure Cochran was the candidate. Kansas and Kentucky and other states where they defeated the Tea Party candidate by setting out to destroy their professional reputations. South Carolina and Tennessee and states where the establishment incumbent has mocked and belittled the Tea Party and their ideals. Look at all that and then let me ask you this; what lesson is the GOPe supposed to take away from this election? If they can pull every string and use every dirty trick in the book to hold on to thier seats, and still have people like you saying we still need to vote for them blindly and unquestioningly because two years of Mitch McConnell as Majority Leader is better than two years of Harry Reid then what hope to we have of ever changing anything? What chance is there of ever having a Republican Party where men like Ted Cruz are the norm with in the party and not the pariah? What reason is there for the Tea Party or any other Conservative movement within the party to exist? If at the end of the day the establishment can brush any dissent conpemptuously aside and not pay a price for it then what is the purpose of trying to change anything? Can you answer that for me please?
