Which is the very reason not to abandon the Republican party. That Is my biggest problem with most conservatives. It is an all or nothing mentality."If I don't get everything I want I'm taking my toys and going home" There is no way to fix something if you aren't involved in the effort.
No, you don't get it. REPUBLICANS aren't trying to patch the holes... they're CREATING the holes. They're simply responding to the desires of Republican VOTERS. I refuse to support a party that panders to people at the expense of principle, especially when it comes to the Constitution, liberty, and freedom.
