Absolutely correct!
Problem is, dutch,
Uh, you're responding to me, wasp69.
I don't think you can do that with the Republican party anymore. It, just like the Democratic party, is too corrupt. Too full of corporate influence and talking heads with their own personal interests at stake.
You are familiar with the primary process in this country, yes? That's where common sense conservatism really comes into play.

You are linking the huffington post to make your point?
Hell, they're even cashing in on some of the first grassroots movements we've seen in decades that should rightfully be totally against them and their sellout, greedy interests.
I have yet to see any politician be able to honestly claim anything on the Tea Parties, but they are trying. The Tea Parties are a true grassroots movement and I don't think that the members will allow themselves to be co-opted by the GOP. After all, they're pissed off at the RINOs as well as the democrats.
It's safe to say that those numbers are not a good sign. Our politicians have become so comfortable in their positions that both sides have sold out. Nobody's there to remind them not to take their position and power for granted.
Elections, ballot box, Mass. Rebellion, any of this ringing a bell for you?
Tommy J. is one of the greatest American role models, so I don't think your ideals can be THAT far off from mine if we can agree on that point.
Tommy J? Did you honestly call one of the greatest minds in history Tommy J?
Jefferson is spinning in his grave at what is going on. And, FWIW, he was not a centrist. Not even close.
You can't just write off the entire liberal side of the political spectrum.
I don't intend to just write them off, I want their ideology destroyed.
We need compromise or our system is going to fail,
Heard this reach across the aisle crap way too many times. It doesn't work, we do not have honest opposition when it comes to democrats. "Compromise" to them is when their opponents do what they say. I, personally, am long past done with that.
because the fact that you will not budge is exactly the same as the fact that the liberals will not budge.
I'm not willing to budge on my freedom, my liberty, or my God given rights as a human being. I will not be subjugated by these marxist monsters.
And in the meantime, the politicos have been rigging the entire political system to create a plutarchy.
Ballot box, see above.
Keep refusing to budge, keep refusing to compromise, and they will continue to gain ground.
Have you been asleep for the past 4 months? VA, NJ, MA, hardly any democrat seat safe? Have you not been paying attention?
Washington will continue to become a breeding ground for corporate interests and corrupt politicians because nobody will be there to stop them while we're all off fighting our meaningless little war of ideals.
Keep telling yourself that. We'll be out winning hearts and minds with common sense conservatism while you're trying to play nice.
