#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.

Well, the time to defeat him is in the primaries. I can understand your not wanting to re-elect him, but I think I would vote for him anyway if the alternative means allowing a Democrat to take his seat. I believe we've got to protect and expand the Republican margin. If we lose both the House and the Senate to the Democrats, it's going to get a lot uglier before it gets better. And I'm talking decades into the future. The next 40 years could be pretty bleak.
