It is too bad that the people are the problem. They elect the corrupt criminal class that put us in this mess. And they will continue to elect people just like that. Where are all those people of character of you speak of? Voted down, betrayed, or cheated out of office for the most part. We will send pretty much the same cast of characters to D.C. this cycle as last cycle. The CoS is our next to last chance to protect ourselves from our illegitimate government. And we do that by reducing federal power and increasing state power.
The “people of character” I referenced are among the 100,000,000 Americans who could have voted in 2012 and did not vote.
They voluntarily deserted the field of battle because “their” candidate did not win the primary. By doing so, they ensured the LIEberal win.
If the same number of people who voted for John and Sarah had voted for Mitt and Paul, Mitt would be President, and we would all be having a much different conversation.
