I own a business. Of course, I hire people that I like and I think will do a good job. But I only have one vote to elect a politician. Many people will cancel out my vote and unfortunately, I don’t have the same power in determining the outcome of an election as I do with hiring for my business.
When I vote, I have to consider many factors. Ideology, electability,and often sadly the choice of the lesser evil. That is just the way the world is.
There are some really good Libertarian candidates. But if they weaken the conservative cause, I will oppose them if they allow an even worse candidate to prevail. The Libertarians are just too small to make a difference now. Believe me, we will never see a Libertarian party candidate win much of anything significant in our lifetimes. Now if we have another NY-23 RNC candidate, I am with you bro’. Our job is to prevent that scenario.
My tagline says it all. I hope we can work together. It sure beats a circular firing squad.
You are correct, I agree. And the fragmentation of the RNC between the Libertarians, Consitutional and other Conservative 'splinter groups' would simply ensure the DIMS won every election going forward. As much as I agreed with Ross Perot, and his policies; his run for office gave us Clinton.
What I would hope to see, is the RNC move away from their love and admiration they hold for the DNC, and replace those ideals with the ideals held by the Constitutional, Libertarian and other 'splinter' groups. The basic ideal of the Republican party has been lost; and the fools we have in office today neither have the desire, nor the motivation to change their ways. They have sold their souls, and the lives of their grand-children for 13 pieces of silver today.
