OK, I’ll put in here.
Politics is a dynamic flow. The Democrats keep offering more and more goodies from the government to gather votes. As time goes on, they must offer new benefits to maintain voter interest. The last was health care. Open borders is coming. After that, the government will control the food supply.
The republicans cannot stop this tactic, they can only slow it down. Suffice it to say that throughout history politicians have known that benefits-for-votes in popular governments is an unstoppable process. Got that?
So what we have is a government that constantly slides to the left, with the republicans dragging their heels, trying to slow the process. Yes, they are in the flow. It’s the political reality.
OK, voters, here’s your choice: The democrat who will care for your kids with welfare for anyone earning less than $100K per-year, provide pre-school care, offer full care for the homeless, and provide shelters for all immigrants; or the true Republican who will give you nothing.
Under this option the Republican will stand NO CHANCE of winning. That’s why we have rinos. The are pragmatic instruments of politics.
Let me ask you a question: At what point does the epithet “Rino” apply? I offer this posit: all of today’s Republicans are Rinos. They moderate their pro-constitution positions to cater to their local political dynamic. Their being in office is better than a Democrat being in office and thereby accelerating the government’s continual move to the left.
Ethical Purity is a wonderful concept. I would love for our government to focus on the Constitution. I’ve written two books on this. But we have to be realistic. Idealism, no matter what its rationalization, leads to more liberals being in office, resulting in an accelerated skid to the left.
After all the anti-Romney activism kept so many people home, our only choice is how fast we skid to the left.
Excellent analysis and is especially true with the MSM 'true believers' manipulating at full bias towards the liberal and government side. In this environment it is difficult to remind the voter that responsibility goes with privilege for a responsible and sustainable governance. The most worrisome long term trend I see is that the left DOMINATES the education establishment teaching our children that "left is right and right is wrong!"
I totally agree. We are slowly skidding to the point of no return. I held my nose and voted for Romney because I knew of the damage one more term with Obama would do to America.
I think of a brave Marine, Sgt Tammoreesi who spent over 200 days in a Mexican jail, tortured beyond belief. Romney would have made a phone call to get him home immediately.
The Bundy Ranch stand-off, IRS and Lois Learner, Eric Holder, VA Hospital scandals, Susan Rice and Samantha Powers appointee’s, John Kerry, our image across the world, how that would have been so much different under Romney vs. Obama in the past couple of years. I think of how many times Obama has given our people the middle finger in his press conferences and on TV and the campaign trail.
I think of the folks who chose to stay home and not vote on principal and morals. The course of history has been changed forever. If Democrats continue in power, America’s demise will be a surety. Liberal judges, Supreme Court openings will be had by Liberal thinking Judges.
I get discouraged because the elitist Republicans force candidates down our throats, they are Debbie Downers, they don’t fight like bull-dogs like the Dems do.
I get angry that Republicans, especially black Republicans don’t get out more and work the black populations, try and tell the real story of civil rights history of the Democrats vs. Republicans. We give up on the black vote.
So for me, I do vote, even if its for a Rino when no conservative is candidate- because at least there is some hope of turning around the country before it’s too late. If I stay home on principle- there is no hope at all...
