I'm not trying to insult or intimidate you or anyone else. That is my opinion. Whether anyone likes it or not. Whether any one agrees or not. Many seem to now lament that the GOP is gone and would allow the country to follow suit. That is alright to let socialism get a larger foothold, saying don't worry we can bring it back in 4 or 8 years. I think that is not the case. If it was the social entitlements of the 60's would not have grown in the 80's.

I am disappointed in the GOP. I'm think that those at the top helped move things left with changing the Primary System. I believe mostly that voters need to become more educated and not revert to a case of amnesia during elections. There is a lot wrong, but I'll not walk away because things didn't go my way.

I'll not hope against hope that some other 3rd party will come alone or be created that will do what I believe is right. Third parties are just that ... third. I will continue to work within the GOP at the local and State levels to bring it back to closer to where I believe it operates best. The GOP has the best chance of making change nationwide.

I respectfully disagree with you. You have the right to your opinion and I have the right to mine. You don't know me from Adam's off ox ... but yet you would insult me by telling me my motives/opinion are base and that I don't know anything because I have a view different from yours. When I saw that picture it said to me what I've been hearing in too many threads in recent weeks. America is doomed since the GOP left conservative values and so we can allow the Dem/Libs/Socials take over.

I originally joined FR because I saw reasoned and cordial discussions. That's not the case anymore. Many seem to have a need to have all see things their way and are not above pointed sarcasm to make a point.

I still believe in what President Reagan spoke of during his life about America. And I still believe, as he did, that the GOP is the vehicle to get there.

A voice of sanity and reason. Not very welcome in FR these days. People are having too much fun wallowing in self pity. Of course you are right and you said it very eloquently. Thanks.
