--We are harvesting the crop produced from voting for the lesser of two evils for generations now. Seems to me the choice is like voting for a size 9 ½ EE shoe up your hind end or a 10 D.-- I wish I had said that! If I ever use that, I'll give you credit, my Spartan friend. I usually say that the lesser of 2 evils is still evil. The situation we have right now is that the right wing of the "republicrat" party is in danger of losing Congressional seats to the left wing of the "republicrat" party. This party, nevertheless, does a great job of choking off, through state election laws and ballot rules, any hope for an original third party with new, good ideas. Rather like the shade of a decrepit old tree preventing new growth from thriving under it.

There are MANY unhappy conservatives who are p***ssed as HELL about the republicans and their spinelessness. I am one of them. I WANT conservatism. I WANT libertarianism (sometimes) at the federal level. But I sure as HELL don't want the demonRATs running things. They are enemies to this country and to all of us and I want them GONE- for good. Right now, there is only one way to accomplish that- vote republican.

One cannot sit at home bitching about the candidate that the party has "given" us if one did not get off his/her butt to vote in the primaries. The campaigns and the primaries are where we win the battle- NOT by handing the government over to the RATs.

When did we forget that WE run things?
