Those rascally Republicans just can't help but blame their loses on "Right Wingers"; those people that have given the House of Representatives to the "R" column, and added still more from this last election. No, their moderate views cannot possibly be the problem.
It started way back with Bob Dole, then the "Compassionate Conservative" Dubya, who would not have been re-elected if not for the war. He took this nation deeper into the liberal territory, and gave us boondoggles like unfunded national Prescription costs, one of the worst education bills ever, the attempt to get a moderate to the Supreme Court bench, the failure to veto McCain's election reform bill, then the no-budget, first Tarp bailout bill, and a lot of other liberal legislation. Then along came John McCain who would have won if he decided to let Sarah Palin be herself, and if he decided to actually differ with Barak Obama. But true to the "moderate" kind of branding, you couldn't tell the two apart in that election and the nation decided to vote for the real Mccoy, instead of the RHINO. Recently, Romney; a likable guy sure enough, but a moderate, non-the-less.....and didn't we make it clear enough that we didn't want this brand of politician to represent the Republican party? NO! the "establishment" and the money people just do not want conservatives to have a voice where it can matter. But, one day, we will prevail. With Ron Paul out of the picture in future elections, it might be possible for conservatives to rally around another true Conservative or a Libertarian. He'll start to emerge, and sooner rather than later. It might be Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, or someone still not heard of, who will draw people through his truthfulness, and his wanting to legal some things that currently are illegal for no reason other than to make business for the attorneys; drugs, alcohol at any age, abortion for any reason as long as the taxpayer does not have to pay for it, driving under the influence of anything (DUI laws have not made our roads any safer, what needs to be done is to prosecute those to the fullest extent of the law when they violate it, in any case....stop the plea bargaining, and the multiple sentences for similar offenses). Hey, some 40,000 people are killed in car accidents each and every year, but we still sell cars....because it's not the cars that kill, it's the people driving them (that's what they made insurance companies for). Here is a small list of leading killers of American citizens each year: Tobacco 529,000; Medical errors 195,000; Alcohol abuse over 107,000; Vehicular 42,000; Suicide over 29,000; Drug abuse over 25,000; Firearm homicide over 10,000...which would be the two top concerns for you if you were in the position to make legislation to protect and serve American citizens? Should we outlaw doctors?
The Republican party can go ahead and cater to the Latinos, or the promiscuous women who want taxpayers to fund their abortions or contraception, but they will still lose elections. Those are not the issues that will unite a party.
One of the biggest problems American politics has is the 2 party system. It is so entrenched in every state, a person must belong to one or the other in order to possibly win an election, even on the state level.
The Electoral College vote is another joke, obligating electors to vow to support the party they represent.
We need people who want to restore the meaning of the Constitution, at every level, and amend many of the changes that have been made in order to return the Constitution to its rightful place in our society, as a governing agent for the people. Why do we encourage voters to think they are actually voting for a President and a vice President, when in reality the personal votes tell the electors who to vote for and they are obligated to vote the party line. Why do we vote for a "ticket" (Pres. and V.P.) let's repeal the 12th amendment, the 16th amendment, the 26th amendment, and enforce the 27th amendment so they cannot automatically receive pay increases every year. How about those National Senators, aren't they supposed to be sent to Washington by the states (article I. sec.3.). Let's repeal the 17th amendment, so once again they are answerable to their respective states and not their party.
We do not need the money or the desires of the Republican party, and the people it wants to "make" us vote for. We do not need them to tell us we have to moderate our views and enlarge our tent by embracing illegal immigrants and society's women of illrepute. No no, we need Libertarians or Conservatives to either lead the Republican back to its moors, or to get rid of it completely. Did you notice, in the state elections it is difficult to find a poster or sign that tells you the person running is a Republican.....they don't want to admit it. The Republican party does not represent many people anymore. Heck, 3 million less republicans voted in the recent general election than the last, yet "Tea Party" politicians continue to have a lot of successes. DUH! And Mitt Romney....a nice guy who no doubt would have helped to create millions of jobs, BUT you could tell he moderated his speeches as the election drew nearer. The "Establishment" wanted to be certain he didn't wander too far off the trail and make the voters expect more than he was going to be able to offer. ARRGHH!! Go away GOP.
