America's two-front political war

Why has voter participation been so dismal for so long?  Many theories have been advanced, but as far as I can see, it's because people haven't seen any appreciable difference between the two parties.  A choice between big-government Republicans or even-bigger-government Democrats hardly seems like a choice at all to the majority of the American people, who, for the most part, simply want the government to stick to its Constitutional duties, stop stealing their money and leave them alone.

Unfortunately, until the recent advent of the Tea Party movement, there was no real effort to reduce government.  Oh, sure, the Republicans would talk a good game.  They'd run the campaign circuit calling for personal responsibility, lower taxes, deregulating business and generally presenting themselves as the second coming of Ronald Reagan.  Then, once they found themselves ensconced in their own little D.C. fiefdoms, they would do nothing more than hold us down while the Dems took turns violating our rights and bank accounts. 

But now that the Dems have become truly and openly Marxist, America is waking up and demanding real, honest conservatism.  And this has the entrenched GOP machine, hereby referrred to as the "Cocktail Party," scared to death.  The situation is discussed here by the Great One himself, Mark Levin.



Folks, we know the Jackass is out to destroy America as we know it.  But so is the Elephant, just at a slower pace.  We must ally ourselves with the GOP for the moment, because they're our best alternative.  In so doing, we must pay attention to the primaries, and campaign and vote for real conservatives.  Just because someone has an (R) behind their name means nothing.  What they stand for and how they vote means everything.  If you take nothing else from this post, know this:  "Republican" != "conservative."

Here in Arizona, we wound up with McSame again. (barf)  It is too late for us, but you can learn from our mistake.  Examine your primaries, vote early, vote conservative!
