Is there something going on locally that keeps local Republicans from fielding viable candidates? All we seem to get are candidates who never have a chance of winning.

Actually, there is. The very idea of serving the goofballs we have for a citizenry is repugnant to anyone with common sense. (A friend of mine once said, "Why would I want to run the complaint department?") Some conservatives will suffer running for office out of altruism, but few will tolerate it for ambition, having other alternatives in life. Liberal ideologues can't make it in the real world and have no end to their ambition to control, so they are far more willing to express their ambition through politics.

Ever read Carter's book Turning Point? Worth the read. There was a thread that talked about having him supervise the voting in Florida. I was the only one who thought it was a good idea. But then I was probable the only one who had read his book. After he was installed in office, they passed a law that you couldn't vote if you had been dead more than 3 years. I think safegarding our elections is actually the number one priority over everthing else.

I agree with you to an extent. But, this statement here also gives me something else to ponder.

I have also thought that there is a Demorat element that has infiltrated the local Republican party apparatus to guarantee a ineffective general election candidate through the subversion of our primary elections. I have worked for a U.S. House candidate who lost the primary last election cycle to the current Republican nominee. This nominee lost in a landslide last time, but is the party nominee yet again.

My friend and candidate was a Captain in the U.S. Army and much more qualified to run against Mr. Farrce the traitor. Even if we lost the general election, we would have damaged Farr enough to pave the way for another Republican to oust this seditious pig.

I often wonder how this keeps occurring and why these candidates even bother to run because they are guaranteed to lose every time. These perennial candidates do us no favors and refuse to consider that they are responsible for a Demorat being elected.

In addition, I never see any debates or public discourse by local Republican nominees challenging the Demorats. Few of them actually campaign at all. It would be better to not run a candidate at all. People would begin to wonder...
