I don't think they intend to change more than they have to in order to keep their positions of power. They have shown us very clearly that they have no concern for our wishes, even when a huge majority of Conservatives cry out against their proposals. My Representative is one of the biggest offenders. Compassionate Conservatism has turned the Republican Party into Democrats. Now the Democrats have free reign to be Socialists. <BR/>I also don't agree with many aspects of the Republican platform. I want limited government and increased personal liberty. I don't want to see our military policing the world or our government wasting money on the war on drugs. Entitlement programs redistribute wealth, it matters not where the money goes.<BR/>As for the numbers, we are a Constitutional Republic. God forbid we ever become a Democracy, where the majority can vote themselves bread and circuses. I fear we are headed in that direction already. I'm sorry to say, George Bush has a great deal of guilt on that issue. He has handed us to Obama on a silver platter. The fact that McCain, who straddles the political fence in the name of bipartisanship, got the nomination is testament to the demise of the Party.machinepolitickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02869834497906422383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2599325421795114181.post-53523810207988985252008-12-14T06:58:00.000-08:002008-12-14T06:58:00.000-08:00I may be overly pessimistic, but I don't think the...I may be overly pessimistic, but I don't think the libertarian party is the answer. If it did become viable, we would end up with presidents getting elected with 42% of the vote (think Perot, Bush Clinton 1992) I would rather like to see a strong libertarian faction move in a start influencing the GOP.<BR/><BR/>The RNCC is a broken down jalopy, but it's all a conservative has right now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2599325421795114181.post-5109893581144705292008-12-11T10:34:00.000-08:002008-12-11T10:34:00.000-08:00I always get letters full of excuses, if I get the...I always get letters full of excuses, if I get them at all. I'm not expecting anyone to take my advice, but I can't help giving it if they ask. <BR/>Hopefully, people will start waking up and looking at the Libertarian party.machinepolitickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02869834497906422383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2599325421795114181.post-34926763098491999462008-12-09T19:24:00.000-08:002008-12-09T19:24:00.000-08:00Great post.

The GOP lost their way and I doubt anything I could say would sway them anyway. <BR/><BR/>The last few times they sent me one, I would scrawl something like "NO A La Amnestia!" or "Stop Spending Like Drunken Democrats!" and send it back. That would then be followed up by a polite letter asking me for money.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2599325421795114181.post-33253346260437639122008-11-24T17:03:00.000-08:002008-11-24T17:03:00.000-08:00Thank you for checking me out.

Am definitely adding you to my blogroll: http://ashokkarra.com/friends if you're interested.<BR/><BR/>Good luck blogging, and certainly good luck dealing with the art world. I have a friend dealing with that latter issue himself, and it is awful in some ways despite the joy art is.Ashokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13888023208356336263noreply@blogger.com
