After Americans have had a belly full of Democrats, maybe Republicans will figure out how to regain conservative voters before the United States goes broke. Voting for Republicans in empty suits is analogous to Jews shedding their clothes before marching to the showers.
It is amazing to me how many Republican shills are willing to shun freedom and accept the status quo. And the blindness of Freepers who cannot see the trends in place and the inevitable conclusions of those trends in bankruptcy is equally amazing and frightening.
I may have to admit my error that I may have misjudged the entire situation. The facts, conclusions and the strategy are correct. But it maybe that too many Americans are too under educated and too corrupted. My conclusion that the country is salvageable and that the Constitution can be recovered is now very much in doubt based on the first 25 or so replies. The extraordinary superficiality reflected in their replies is frightening.
The disintegration of the American way of life and the destruction of freedom that will follow will be a painful thing to watch. And the destruction of wealth that has been ongoing in markets around the world and that will continue until the markets are fairly valued again will pale in comparison to the US wealth that is going to be destroyed as politicians become desparate to keep the Social Security ship afloat by attempting to fund the titanic unfunded liabilities as they begin maturing.
Voting Republican without a committment from Republicans to the Contract with Congress may keep Republicans in office. But without an agenda for change, no change will be dared until it is too late to matter. When you put your head in the sand, the worst that will happen is that someone may cut your throat. At best you will be showing your a$$. And because your mind is buried, the thoughts that emerge will be little more than hot air.
This thread contains the seeds needed to defeat Democrats and change the United States in a meaningful way. If Republicans win without the Contract with Congress, there will not be any meaningful change and the outcome of the battle for our Constitutional Republic will be very much in doubt. Those among you who believe moderate or liberal Republicans (RINO's) will make any substantive difference in the course of the United States are bordering on delusional. I have every expectation that Republicans must defeat Democrats with ballots won with a conservative agenda, or the day will come where bullets are the only means of recourse.
Thank you for not voting Republican. It would sicken me to think you and I voted for the same candidates.
My belief is that the people receiving a stipend from the Government, plus the apathy of 50% of the electorate, plus the democrats sellout for power, and how could you be optimisic that there is enough of a voter percentage to make a difference. It simply isn't there.
Absent some catastrophic event which doesn't destroy the country, I see no rollback of laws and attitudes which reverses years and years of excesses. And the key is attitudes. It will not happen.
Without change I could see another revolution. When the government comes after the individuals money when it goes broke is when the resistance will occur. Then everyone will realize it waited too long to reign in the government.
I agree with most of your assumptions.
