As I've pointed out, American politics, historically, has always revolved around a basic, two party system of elective government. This goes back to the earliest days of our Republic. Electing more conservatives to public office, would go a long way to changing the direction we've taken, over the lasty 70 years, but in order to build a winning coalition, securing conservative voters, will not be enough. Conservative candidates must appeal to independents and dissatisfied Democrats, in order to win elctions. That's especially true at the national level. Conservatives constitute about 1/3rd of all voters and simply put, there aren't enough conservatives voters available, to elect a majority of conservative candidates to public office.
If you don't see any significant differences between the two major political parties, I suggest you may not be paying attention. The government is split, 50-50, between republicans and democrats. That's a formula which hinders contructive government and stifles the advancement of any political agenda.
I don't know how my attitude about Keyes, should make you fear for the nation. That's a very strange comment to make. America remains strong and is still the beacon of freedom and liberty throughout the world. The US, is the envy of the world, period. I believe, my support and promotion of the Republican Party agenda and the conservative movement, is the right political position to take. I am opposed to what the Democratic Party stands for and their desire to promote a liberal-socialist agenda.
