The Republican Party as it now stands needs ruining.
Proof. The precepts in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution are an allergen to the GOP.
The quicker the better. The best way we can do that is in primaries, when that fails (because or GOPe fraud and domination), our last recourse is withholding our vote in the general. That’s what I did. My rep, Lynn Jenkins, will win, but my Senator, Pat Roberts, may very well lose. We’ll have a liberal idiot for our senator, but Pat Roberts will never hold elected office again.
It’s definitely in need of a massive overhaul. It was tried during 2009-2012 with the ‘Tea Party’, but the GOPe co-opted, watered down the movement, and effectively killed the holdouts that refused to be co-opted.
Even if the Republicans win in a sweep, nothing really changes. Sure they’ll get their precious committee chairmanships in the Senate, but nothing good will happen. The only difference will be is legislation will die by 0bama’s pen, rather than sitting on Harry Reid’s desk.
Nothing short of a majority capable of overriding a Veto materially changes anything. That said, I’d rather have a republican Senate than a Democrat Senate, and that’s just enough for me to go vote, I guess. (I’ve never been less enthused about voting)
Let’s see what happens in 2015. If enough conservatives are elected today perhaps the Republican Party will see the light and transform into a bright red party. And you and I can play a big role if they drag their feet. No one in WDC likes to hear a lot of noise from their constituents.
Affiliation with Nixon suggests he is part of the old stereotype of Country-club Republicans. You’d hardly expect him to agree with the Conservative end of the party.
So tragically true.
