Barack Obama Runs On Empty And Toward Defeat

What’s strange to me, is that the Republican party doesn’t even act in it’s own best interest. If you want to be a viable entity, you have to provide a product or service that isn’t already out there. A Leftist party already exists.

It’s so bad, that a new party is developing before it’s very eyes, and it still supports people who should be registered in the Democrat party. How dumb is that?

There is a massive void on the right, tens of millions of U. S. Citizens longing to get back to decent values, and our party is lost in space, trying to provide Leftist lite, to people who are devout Leftists. What was that definition of insanity again?

Yes, they both do the same thing. Very strange to see the Republican party go that route. It’s going to be replaced. I don’t have any doubt in my mind that a massive chunk of the Republican party would leave today, if the Tea Party went formal.

Perhaps it is best to occupy the Republican party and take over. At any rate, it is happening.

You make some good observations, to which I could come up with a long-winded diatribe in response.

Let me just sum it up in these words: entropy never sleeps.

It takes effort to maintain standards. It takes effort to sweep filth out of a living body, to sweep dust and dirt out of a tidy home. It takes effort to keep entropy out of the billions of transistors in each CPU chip.

It takes effort to keep germs out of the food we eat. It takes effort to keep a house painted, a bridge from corroding and falling down.

It takes effort to keep a cooking fire burning. It takes effort to keep an electrical generation and distribution system functioning.

And, as anticipated so well by the brilliant Benjamin Franklin, it takes effort, vigililence, and sacrifice to keep a Republic, which is at once the mightiest - and also the most vulnerable - form of self-governance.

We see the desire to give up on fight againt the ceaseless pressure of entropy in the attitudes of John McCain, of Orrin Hatch, of Richard Lugar, just as we saw it in Bob Michael and Howard Baker, years ago.

Every one of them stood for what was right years ago, but now the effort is too much. The Left is ready to go to war over a chicken sandwich. For the "cooling saucer" of the Senate Republicans, it's all too much of a hassle.

I guess that turned into a long-winded diatribe anyway. Entropy again.

It really bothers me when someone makes a long post and there’s nothing to disagree with. Oh well...

Right on from my perspective Steely Tom. Thank you.
