Sorry formerlurker, I may have you all wrong. But these days my automatic gut reaction to those on our side who vigorously defend moderate repukes is revulsion. We have today a party and its leader who want to absolutely destroy this country as we once knew it. They have been going at it now for a very long time. Brick by brick. And now theyve brought a bull dozer. Our constitution like our freedoms are an affront to them. They really are 'the enemy within the gates' in my view.
Now on the other hand we have another party that we used to regularly send to Washington to be our advocates and to stand as a contrast to the statists and the socialists. The differences between the two didnt use to be so stark as they pretty much seemed to heading in the same direction. The only difference was by degree. But that has changed. The dems are running headlong right off the cliff and into the sea and taking us and our country with them by design imho.
We recently took back about 80 seats in Congress. We also took back many of the State Houses too. And the lord willing we will take back the Senate and the Presidency come the next election. All of this predicated on the promise that we would stop and reverse this train wreck. This out of control spending. Simple right? Well ... maybe not. Despite the fact that we overwhelmingly took back the House (which all spending originates from) and will probably take back the Senate next election (lord willing) we still have a GOP leadership that has been there for decades.
Now we didnt elect this leadership ... that is to say they came to this position because 'its their turn'. Thats how seniority works there. Which is all good and fine ... most of the time. This is not one of those times. The enemy (democrat leadership and much of the party) has an agenda to bring this economy to its knees and to knock this country down a notch or two. They hold most of the reins of power and they hold this country in contempt. Now as if that wasnt enough we have an entrenched GOP leadership that apparently feels they are more like royalty than elected representatives. Now normally they should present a stark contrast between them and the opposing party. Why? Because we are right.. and they are wrong. Not only that but they (the democrat party) are also morally bankrupt. So we have moral, ethical and constitutional issues at play here.
What it boils down to is they (the democrat party) want to rescind our inalienable rights and enslave us. Just shred the constitution and do whatever the hell they want to with us. Are you with me so far? Well here is where it gets a bit murky. We have sent a majority to Congress that wants to make a stand against this tyranny. But their hands are tied for the most part as they are all freshmen. They dont have any 'seniority'. So they more or less have to toe the line with whatever the 'leadership' wants. Unfortunately the current GOP leadership have no spine. None at all, except for one thing. They have a LOT of spine to tell me whatever they think I want to hear, then turn right around and do whatever they please. Come election time they will out and outright lie to me to get my vote. Then after theyve secured their position and its time to legislate or vote on legislation they turn right around and give me the middle finger. Just like that. In essence they say Janice we appreciate your vote. Without you and millions like you we would not be here.
Now ... go **** yourself.Rather than go to Washington to do what we sent them to do, they get behind closed doors with the enemy (liberal democrats) and pat each other on the backs at what a bunch of idiots we are. In fact they both (both party leaderships) seem to view us (the voters) especially conservative voters as a bunch of rubes. And sometimes I must confess they appear to be right. How in the world can we keep sending these 'pretend' conservatives to Washington and expect a different result? These are career politicians who have been there for so long, they wouldnt know the truth if it slapped them in the face. And they know even less about core values and principles, unless it has something to do with keeping their power. These people will say anything to retain that power. And they will tell me whatever they think I want to hear to keep it that way. Then when its time to make the changes I voted for them to do, they just flip me off.
Well, I gotta tell you I am beyond sick and tired of this charade. These politicians are not royalty. They are not 'entitled', contrary to what they seem to believe. They ARE SUPPOSED to be there temporary - not forever. They are SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT US, not the status quo. But apparently they (the current GOP leadership) never seem to get it, because they are bullet proof, or seem to think they are bullet proof. And I hold voters accountable for that presumption too. But I for one am NOT going to take it anymore. And I dont give a shit what anybody else says I have had enough. And Im not interested in losing my country because of a few arrogant, self important prima donnas.
They (the GOP) apparently believe they can 'compromise' with the enemy (the extreme far left currently in power). Knowing that these ingrates have utter contempt for our Countrys founding documents and our liberties, what part of our freedoms are they willing to compromise on? The left (eventually) wants to completely do away with all or most of them. What part are we going to agree to with them? Lets say they want to do away with 100% of our freedom of speech (which of course they are currently working on), what part of that freedom are we willing to give on? 50%? 35%? What? How much are we supposed to compromise our rights and liberties away with these morons? Remember ... once they are gone.. thats it. Kiss them good bye. They are gone forever.
So .. back to the support of 'moderates'. If I've got you all wrong, I do apologize. But, I gotta tell ya... when I hear these spineless middle of the roaders defended I have a natural gag reflex. Its almost like ingesting poison. I just cant take it anymore. And Im hoping that in these next 2 elections that I am not alone.
