The equation is really quite simple really.
The reason Washington doesn’t listen to us is they have a vested power interest in the spending and growth of their government.
Frankly everything we conservatives have been asking them to do has been to tie down their hands with the chains of the Constitution and cut down on the amount of money they can spend buying votes. That quite obviously runs against the grain of politics which makes Our political efforts 3 times harder than the left’s.
By targeting our States instead with specific demands which have the potental of increasing their power and influence(Be it at the cost of Washington). Our arguments become far more effective. We have only to find clever ways to uses their power to cut down Washington’s. (Something that uses to be a lot easier prior to the 17th amendment).
Well, liberals/socialists created this hill, this upward challenge that for some reason some conservatives feel the need to climb...Why???
There are other ways to handle liberals than trying to climb the un-Constitutional obstacles they create...
Some of the political ilk on our side somehow believe it is politically correct to meet them on their home turf...
I do not believe it is necessary...Everytime we do manage to get a win, it is because the folks on our side of the aisle allow us to join them in the battle...We lost, the latest battles because the GOPe’s thought they could handle the liberals on their home field...And they ignored and lambasted the Tea Party grassroots conservatives...
I predict they will fail every single time doing that...
They will lose the immigration battle coming up, then when the debt ceiling is looming again in January...That has already gotten to be a weaker situation for conservatives before it is even joined from the laast battle...
Who knows what will happen and who will show up next November...I don’t think the conservative base will show up...
I hope to be proven wrong...
