As I've said before, I'm not a Conservative; I'm a Libertarian. I fail to understand why Conservatives lose when someone like Gorton who clearly wasn't a Conservative loses. The ruling class of the GOP has bamboozled Conservatives for over 40 years now into thinking that your fate and theirs are tied together. They have convinced you that you have to accept their parasitic presence in exchange for political power. But power to do what? To enforce the Constitution? No... to advance their agenda. Piece by piece is fine with them. They have the money and the time to outlast citizen activists so they can play this game forever. Conservatives, Libertarians and Constitutionalists do not. We can't beat them playing their game by their rules. Compromise is a one-way street. It always works to the advantage of the powerful because they can afford to give away more since they A) Have more to begin with; and B) Can always steal more (through more taxes and regulations) when they run low.
Your replies PROVE that you have a tenuous grasp, at best, of politics. That you fail to understand that the make up of both Houses , matters , is patently obvious. IT MATTERS; GREATLY ! If it matters to you, who sits on the SCOTUS , then having a Dem run Senate , shoud be the LAST thing you want; yet, this isn't the case. Ditto for the House. Of you yearn for more tax cuts, less government, etc., etc., same thing. This isn't rocket science !
Okay, you are no Conservtaive; now, you need to admit to your Marxism, as well . All of this garbage, about the " elits " and " ruling class ", belies certain juvenile thought processes, that you have. Yes, there it is ... you feel oh so powerless, so irrelivant, and you are. The Founding Fathers agreed with you, in that you don't have enough sense / ability , to be able to actually vote for a president. That's WHY they set up the Electoral College, you know. The FFs were ELITISTS !
There has NEVER been a time, when the " common man " decided which candidte should run for president, not anything else. As a matter of fact, until fairly recently, Senators were hand picked , by the states' " INSIDERS / RULING ELITES ", OF EACH PARTY !
You have claimed that you are pro-life, and think that children are their parents' property . So, do you also disagree with the LP, about prostitution, dope, open boarders, pornography, age of consent / voting , isolationism, almost NO military, private ownership of roads , highways, and public property ? If so, that's some HUGE disagreements !
