Wolf, no need to visit ancient history.
Recall the 1992 Election wherein the Fiscal Conservatives said “Read Our Ballots, No New Term” to George H. W. “Voodoo Economics” Bush. What happened after Bush lost? Conservative candidates realized that the Reagan Revolution wasn’t dead and that the elitist Blue-blooded Big Government Liberal Republicans really didn’t control the Conservative voters. Grass-root Fiscal Conservatives won the House for the Republicans in 1994. And, BTW, the last I checked the world didn’t end when Clinton was elected.
The 1994 election was the free market at work. Conservative candidates saw a demand for Conservative Principles and they sought to satisfy that demand. Conservative voters saw the supply of Conservative Principles enter the market and they bought all of the available supply. What we’re seeing play out now is an effort by the Republican Party, and their surrogates, to maintain monopolistic control over Conservative Voters. From your study of economics you should have learned that monopolies only serve the interests of the monopoly and that they are highly detrimental to the consumer. If that’s too difficult to follow, consider how Blacks have fared since the Democratic Party has had the monopoly on the Black Voting Bloc. Why would any rational individual want to follow that path?
The Republican Party, and their surrogates, can demand my vote all day long but they won’t get it because only losers fall for fear-mongering. The Republicans can, however, earn my vote by adhering to the Conservative Principles that brought them to power in the first place.
