Acting on that theory has guaranteed the we get the worst Republicans ... and a bloated, abusive, unconstitutional government.
Realistically speaking, our only chance to advance the conservative cause is in the Republican primaries.
Here in CA, where I live, ALL Democrats are Marxists. Period. No exceptions.
You can:
A) Vote Republican
B) Vote Democrat
C) Vote third party which is effectively voting Democrat to the extent that it siphons off votes from the GOP candidate.
D) Not vote at all. Any conservative or Republican who does not vote, effectively becomes a vote for the Democrats.
Those are your choices in a nutshell. Granted, it isn’t always pretty. But life isn’t a bowl of cherries and politics ain’t bean bag. You have to be realistic and work with what you have. No such thing as perfection or utopia in the real world. Wake up.
