The GOP seems unable to understand that many in the base
will no longer support them.
They have tried to stave this off by insulting the base and characterizing us as petty, selfish and reckless.
They've told us again and again of the conservative things
they've done, but haven't address the liberal and anti-American things
they've done.
How conservative is it to force Americans to compete with illegal
aliens for work? According to the GOP there is no competition because
illegals do the jobs that American's won't. Well now I think that
might be key to this. Because illegals do the jobs that wealthy Americans won't do. So are we being told that only the wealthy are Americans?
Why do wealthy Republicans respond to conservatives by calling us "racists"??
The plan to have illegal aliens flowing across the border serves what
purpose? So that wealthy Americans become some kind of freakish
upper-class of the world?
Are the conspiracy wackos right? Is this what the New World Order is all about?
The GOP must know it's un-American to do such things. That's why they
pretend it doesn't exist. They get angry when it's addressed, as John
McCain did, scolding us and saying "Because I said so!", as if we were
their questioning children.
Republicans are actually angry at the MinuteMen and have called them vigilantes.
Who are the Republicans anyway? Because I don't recognize them as
friends, like-minded comrades or even similar-minded acquaintances.
I'd rather be called petty, selfish and reckless, than to sell my soul, sell out my countrymen or my principles in the presence of my children.
Now they are going to tell me I should vote for someone who's 100%
conservative on one issue, but only 15% more conservative than Hillary.
Am I supposed to pull the lever with some fantasy image of Reagan, Lincoln, Teddy
Roosevelt, George Washington, or Thomas Jefferson?
I'm through compromising and dealing with these who choose the liberal institution of compromise.
I feel I understand Samual Adams when he deliberately started the Revolution.
The GOP can go pound sand!
