NOT spend like drunk sailors the way they did the last time the pubbies controlled both houses of congress, Right there Mr. Gingrich???
>> They’d have a dinner party, pat themselves on the back and round-table discussions on how to further discredit the ‘Tea Party’.
Yup, still many a-holes in the GOP. Better they’re voted out of office in my opinion.
If the GOP gets the Senate we will have to go down there physically and pressure McConnel and Boener to do what is necessary. They won’t do it without pressure
Spend like DemocRats?
Now, if we're talking about singular races, fine. There are good individuals out there and some races are worth supporting. However, supporting “Republicans” because they are some kind of firewall is naive and is part of the Punch and Judy show we've been trained to play. The real polarity is anarchy or dictatorship and pubbies have been just as comfortable with maintaining power as the Marxists, er, Democrats for decades.
IMO, being on the cusp of great change also allows for chaos in planned transition. Our final options might include formation of another party, candidates that are independent or . . . who knows. The point is that the D/R, right vs. left continuum is patently bunk and has done little to nothing to change or arrest our slide (”slouching” as Bork put it) toward destruction.
There is no rescue in politics - only compromise. Revolution is what we're facing and it may, or may not, go as planned. Either way, too much of the GOP is invested in keeping the status quo to be our salvation.
Personally, I don't believe in salvation from the hand of man so, for me, this question takes a back seat to more important choices in the home, family and social spheres because our binding culture is dead. Renewal begins at home.
Just my $0.02.
As regards your last point, Garner Ted Armstrong (lousy messenger, correct message) had it right in his tract entitled the Modern Romans. We’ve got a situation where the decent are belittled, degenerates and degeneracy are celebrated, the young males largely feel themselves too good to serve in uniform (look at the ‘leaders’), hard work is diminished and indolence is subsidized. This cannot last.
My mantra from 2008 still stands:
“Vote non-incumbent”
Yeats hit the nail on the head:

‘. . . the center cannot hold . . .’
No, the Republican's won't do JACK SCHITT if they win the Senate. Especially if McConnell is in charge.
Elections? Feh, you can have 'em.
Act like Democrats.
NEVER HAPPEN.
Veto override has happened as recently as Bushes 41 & 43, and also with Clinton.
List of United States presidential vetoes
But I agree that it's not going to happen because of "blind leading the blind" conservative "leadership" and because of Doubting Thomases like you.
You and I both know that.
Unless conservatives ran it, not a damn thing.
