On the face of it, who could argue with that? Haha!
It also occurs to me that if you wanted to be really optimistic, you could take the point of view that the Federal government has usurped FAR too many powers that are rightly the province of the states and the state electorate, and it interferes far too much in it's citizens' private lives. One of these candidates said that, or similar, and maybe they would be perfectly fine legislators (or better than the incumbents in their races, who would surely have the same progressive social views, likely more extreme, and ALSO very progressive views on national defense, interstate commerce, etc.)...
Of course, maybe that genie can't be put back in the bottle? But would that it could! Just imagine...no Massachusetts rules imposed on Ohio, no California rules imposed on Wyoming...no Fed's regulating your education, your gas mileage, your Christmas or other "Holiday" display...!! And yet, with all these GOP governors and state legislatures, we ALL have to live under the Federal mandates.
Reminds me of JFK saying he would not govern "as a Catholic" (deferring to Church teachings) and Romney likewise (re: Mormon teaching)...that turned out to be true in Kennedy's case, and I'm guessing would have been in Romney's, too, had he gotten the chance.
Perhaps, JUST perhaps, we could do worse???
I don’t think we fully appreciate what kind of trouble we are in.
BANKRUPT THE NRCC!!
If a conservative who is pro-life, pro gun, supports state rights, against illegals, wants a tax rate of 13%, but is gay, you wouldn’t vote for him? If he was running against an Obama supporter he got my vote.
This is why I am not a Republican. They give me no motivation or reason to become one either.
