With Mitch they're 5-4 liberal... They're just wearing different colored ties.  *****rollingeyes*****

No, they are not.

Yes in fact, they are. Now and then they'll throw crumbs to you peasants, but make no mistake where this country is going - And it is going there strictly because Republicans feign opposition. And that is largely, if not entirely creditable to the Republican Moderate wing... Mitch and his ilk being of that wing, and in agreement with globalism.

No, in fact, they aren't.  The fact that you don't like them because they aren't as extreme as you are does not mean that they're left-wing liberals.  Your personal, subjective idiosyncrasies are yours alone, not a general condition.

Yes in fact they are. One can easily see the lost ground over the past fifty years, from 'No Fault Divorce' forward. On every moral front, on nearly every fiscal front - And in that, the loss of liberty always follows.

There has been, and is no opposition. That is the problem.

My personal subjective idiosyncrasies have nothing to do with it.

You realize that it would take 60% of GOP in  the Senate, plus a Republican House and POTUS to even think about it?

No.  It only takes 218 House members with balls.  The Republicans currently have a majority in the House.  Unfortunately, Republicans aren't Conservatives and have zero interest in balancing the budget.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Well, they have piggies at the trough back home, too.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
