We will vote for them so we can retake control of the Senate. Without that, the liberal agenda will continue on unchecked.
Increase the margin of Republican control and then if the moderates don't come around, they can be voted out too, without turning it all back over to the liberal Democrats. I know of no other way. If you have a better plan (that is feasible) speak up.

#478: “I know of no other way. If you have a better plan (that is feasible) speak up.”

I consider a vote for a liberal of either party a danger to our nation, so my plan is to vote for people who support the constitution and the goals you outline on the home page of the FR. If we’re to ever roll back years of liberalism and government largess, it's urgent we wean ourselves off liberal politicians of all political stripes. My plan is predicated on the premisis that a liberal is a liberal, regardless of political affiliation. If a liberal D is elected because we didn't vote for a liberal R, there's absolutely no net loss to our personal freedoms. Liberalism is liberalism and like you've said often, it must be defeated.

Here’s a dilemma that very much sums up my lack of enthusiasm for the current state of the Republican party. I’d appreciate your feelings on this matter.

I, along with many other 3rd party types, helped elect Rep. Jim Greenwood (R-8th District, Bucks County, PA) in 1992. He beat a well funded D in a close race. Greenwood promised that, if elected, he’d serve only 5 terms. We have his promise in writing. Now, that his promise is due, he’s decided to run again, ignoring his written word to us.

Tell me Jim, is this man worth voting for? Would you vote for him, given what he’s done?

Thanks in advance.
