Where's that Blue Pill?

2012 has been quite illuminating. For those paying attention (those who can see), the path toward the implementation of a Disingenuous White Liberal, leftist-totalitarian state has accelerated with hardly a peep of protest from the aptly named (Stupid Party) Republican Party.

Obama did all that stuff, not the republican party.

Only one sentence in that entire article even mentions the republican party, and that's the sentence you lead off with.

Do you skim articles just looking for bad things about the republicans?

Why do you insist on blaming the republicans instead of criticizing Obama, who caused it all?

Obama does something bad and you slam the republican party for not doing anything about it.

I've noticed you always wait until it's too late for the republican party to act, then you make your move against them.

I hope you do know that my vote for Romney is going to cancel out your vote for Obama.

I think I'll vote twice and get one up on you.:rofl:

The point that was obviously lost on you (as always) was that we didn't hear one peep out of the Republicans objecting to any of these outrages. From their deafening silence can we infer that they're OK with all this?

It would be wrong to "infer that the republicans are OK with all this".

If the republican party hasn't made a statement about those "outrages", then you don't know what the republican party thinks or has planned.

The republican party isn't obligated to comment on every little thing Obama and the democrats do.

Most of it requires no comment and goes without saying that the republicans don't agree with it.

Can I infer from your silence on Obama that you must be OK with all he does?

These are not "little" things that Obama has done. They are outrages and gross affronts to fairness and decency. Republican silence is cowardly and all too typical. BTW, I have made several posts taking to task things Obama has done. Maybe you haven't gotten the word but I thought it obvious that the man and his policies are poison. But here the GOP is given several great campaign issues to use and their reaction? Silence.

The republican party isn't obligated to comment on every little thing Obama and the democrats do.It's not about commenting on it, it's about doing something about it. They control the House and enough of the Senate to seriously disrupt Obama's agenda. They are obligated to do something about it. That's what they were elected to do.

Good luck with that. Here's what Bob Dole tried to do years ago: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/special/affirm/stories/aa072895.htm

And this is what eventually happened: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/special/affirm/stories/aa091896.htm

Dick Armey and the odious Newt Gingrich colluded to prevent the bill from being brought up for a vote.

And that's the last time the GOP has even spoken about racial quotas. Either they're OK with reverse discrimination or they're terrified someone might call them "racist."

I agree they ARE obligated to do something about it. The air bags like Cantor and Boehner shot their mouths off all during the 2010 elections and have changed virtually nothing. The debt ceiling gets raised with some insane deal that they cut that indiscriminately guts the defense budget (a constitutionally mandated function of the fed gov) to save other discretionary spending because our repubs can't show any leadership. Reason being is because they're sleezy pols too, and despite what they say, they want big government because that's what they do for a living. My disdain for the republican progressives is only very slightly less than democrat progressives.

My disdain for the republican progressives is only very slightly less than democrat progressives.My disdain for republican progressives is more than that for democrats.

In America, progressives have every right to have representation. The Democrats are that representation. It's in their party platform.

Who's to blame for Republicans also being progressive representatives, so that there's no alternative except progressive liberalism?

The Republican voters who vote for progressive Republicans are. Not only do they keep doing it, in spite of all evidence showing that it results in Republican candidates becoming more and more progressive, but they always have an excuse for it, like "America will die a sudden death" if they don't vote for their progressive candidate. They always have "no choice". They delude themselves into thinking "next time" they'll be able to vote for a real conservative, all the while refusing to do anything the least bit uncomfortable to make it happen.

Well if there are enough of you so PO'ed at the Republican Party then there ought to be enough to get a viable candidate on the ballot and win the election.

Of course the possibility exists that you are just a noisy minority that don't amount to a blip on the radar, except for posting on internet forums.


Judging from the way the election is shaping up, pardon me if I am sceptical about the first explanation.

I'm not one of the "there is no difference between the repub and the dem" guys. There is a huge difference in certain areas (e.g., 2A rights, abortion rights), and I tend to line up with the repub in those areas. The other difference is in their rhetoric (e.g., individualism, small gov), and I tend to line up with the repub in those areas. Problem is that the republican party as it stands now does not deliver on that rhetoric.

You can jump up and down and cast me as a noisy minority, which unfortunately is probably true based on the candidates the repub establishment keeps shoving down our throats, but no way will you convince me that the present day repub party in any way represents first order constitutional principles as the founders established them. Absolutely no way. Yet the repub party and it's supproters will tell they do. By the way, before you jump to an incorrect conclusion, I am not a Paulbot either. Career politicians sicken me no matter how they present themselves.

You're kind of rambling, but that's ok.

The fact is that conservativism on a national scale is dead. Conservatives don't like it, but it's the only game in town.

The Republican Party Business Machine long ago decided it's more important to garner votes than to stand on principle. Meanwhile conservatives were left standing in the cold.

I'm reminded of a statement made by the mechanic in the movie, "Last Man Standing." He said, "This town is finished."

That's the way I feel about America. She's dying a slow death.

No I wasn't accusing you of being a "paulbot" you appear far too lucid and I am of a similar opinion as you over all BUT, there is a minor difference in our approach. I have watched what as been happening for decades. It hasn't happened overnight and it is IMO a somewhat natural swing in political "sympathies" of the population. This current, and for at least the last 20 years, trend is excessive and a result of a liberal machine helping to (if you will accept the anaology) "push the pendulum further than it's natural swing". I worry about the result if not stopped, but I don't think a stable and lasting answer is to shove it back the other direction as hard and fast as we can.

The liberalism/socialism has crept in at many levels and must be countered there as well. The POTUS does not really make these changes happen. Obama in the office didn't create the mentally limp voters, the mentally limp voters put him in office.

We have to bring back conservative values they way they were taken away, incrimentally, not look for the instant gratification of winning one election, but losing the war in the long run. A more conservative President than Obama is step in the right direction. Quite frankly they slipped liberalism to us by degree, lets return the favor by degree.

[Kablam]

I agree with all you said. I am one who will vote for the most conservative guy who can win (I'm ducking because the social superiors will throw rocks now). However, I still will not defend the actions of the repub party. :wavey:
