"Even there conservatives will win the occasional election, but what does it really mean? It just means they have made the argument that they can operate the Leftist State better than the actual Left can. When the Left owns the bureaucracy, and so many of the pillars of culture (education, media, etc), electoral politics end up having much less influence. Conservatives are reduced to being caretakers, or as Steyn suggested in an analogy in his latest book, they become like the plebes at an English boarding school keeping the toilet seats in the unheated lavatory warm for the upperclassmen."
Kinda says it all right there!
And if the fit hits the shan and Repub is in office, said Repub will get all the blame. Look at Stymie right now...has anyone in our history...hell, the history of the world...moved faster than this guy in ruining a nation?! If we cannot get the right person in that office, we are effed no matter what. Like what G said above, all a run-of-the-mill Repub can do is warm a toilet seat...or as I call it...the choice between a slow death or a quick one.
I'm so tired of compromising and settling...I honestly do not think I am capable of doing that crap anymore. In each persons life we all reach a point where we just can't do the same crap over and over again and expect the results to be different. To do so is beyond futility...it is potentially pathologically stupid. So when I say ABO is not an option, I mean it is not an option. We literally have one last shot to get this right or any chance at a peaceful restoration of republican government as the Founders intended is gone forever. People can argue we have time, a delaying action will work yadda yadda yadda...but the question we all have to ask ourselves is "do we believe we have that time"? I don't. Until we purge the Ruling Class pol's & operatives out of the GOP or circumvent the GOP entirely our situation has zero chance of a turnaround. Zero. And time is only growing less and less available...
