I have to respectfully, but adamantly, disagree with your conclusions.

If the GOP puts up a candidate who is Democrat light, why in the world should I be obligated to vote for that person?

The GOP doesn't own my vote and when they put up lousy candidates and pass lousy and unconstitutional laws, they do not even have my interests in mind.

Do I want the Dems? Hell no. But it is the nice republicans who are making socialism acceptable in this country. Every time the vile and nasty Democrats push too hard and too far, the American people smack them down. Then we get a compassionate conservative who does what the Dems couldn't do. They do it piecemeal and get applauded for it.

No thanks. No more RINOs. They'll kill us faster than the Dems.

Exactly. The president's problem is that he is too compassionate, more compassionate than realistic, and that he thinks the government is our solution. He forced all his socialist gibberish down our throats, because he wanted to help people. Same thing with the immigration issue, he doesn't want to deprive other peoples of the right to live out the American dream.

Yes. There is no way Clinton could have passed the drugs bill, or NCLB, or the Senate amnesty. I propose that we at least expect the following from our next presidential candidate: belief in limited government.

I emphatically agree with Badray. Voting for me-too Republicans who spend the deficit ever higher and expand the state as vigorously as the Democrats in the name of party unity is a delusion. For both the lamestream imperial parties and their partisans, more power and more profligate spending to keep their snouts close to the most personally advantageous place in the tax revenue trough is what it's all about. Both parties need to be replaced by people who are committed to shrinking the state by ending the reign of corporate and underclass welfare, and one does not reach that goal by voting for either faction of the perpetuators of this system.
