> Yes, I don’t apologize for wanting to get Republicans elected.
I am indifferent as to whether the party that signs off on socialistic policy or spends trillions in debt is Democratic or Republican. When Republicans try to curry favor with the left by instituting Democratic polices, let the Republicans find out how many Democrats will vote for them.
We don’t need two liberal parties, that’s for certain. The incentives of politics seem to move office holders inexorably to the left. That’s understandable, since even right-wingers like money. It’s understandable, but it’s not acceptable. There is no ill will generated by Democrats with their base when they overspend and overreach — that’s what their base wants. But with Republicans, it’s different. On the one hand, they want the money, power, and good press; on the other hand, they risk inflaming their base if they go for it. This has created a perverse incentive, where for years Republicans had to work with the inconvenience of pretending to hate big government in public, while working with Democrats behind the scenes to cave on key votes and make it look unintentional. We had two big-government parties, only one of them had to deny it.
But all that changed with Bush, who bragged to the Wall Street Journal that he had transformed the Republican Party. He did indeed. With Bush, the pretense was no longer on display. It was the conservative base that was now the inconvenience. And transform the GOP he did — from totally in power, to totally out of power. There’s your “electable” mainstream Republican, right there. Bush did more to damage the Republican Party than a thousand people like me with “weird vendettas” could have ever done, and all by blurring the Republican name brand.
> And I know for a fact there when it comes to the executive branch there is ZERO chance of getting Conservative policy if Obama is re-elected.
There is zero change of getting conservative policy if the Republican Party continues to play the Quisling. They are lukewarm, and as our Lord suggested, I spit them out.
