The (Demon)crats and the (Repugnant)cans

What good is a political party if it doesn't represent your political ideology? That's the question many Americans are asking themselves these days. The election 0f 2008 is a prime example of the proverbial "rock and a hard place" many of us finds ourselves between. Really, how many of you who didn't want Obama were really excited about McCain? And how many of you who voted for Obama, did so as a protest against McCain and the Republican Party? The Republican Party continues to chase after the same voters that the Democrats already have - so why do they think the conservatives in the country would be thrilled? That really only leaves us two candidate choices from the same ideology. Different parties, same ideology. Boy, that's a good reason to go out and vote! You see, if we vote in protest against the Republicans we hurt ourselves; but if we vote for the Republicans they think we like what they stand for and we get more of it. God, what a mess. We need someone who is willing to develop a new party. As far as I'm concerned the Republican Party left us, so what we need is some charismatic individual to draft a new, dynamic, conservative platform that is equipped to get the message out to young conservatives as well as old. I believe the pundits are correct, and the republican party is becoming obsolete. All the politicians who continue to sail that ship as it goes down, will undoubtedly perish. So the only alternative is a new party - one that is beholden to the constitution. Unfortunately, I don't think even that will save the country because there are just too many people here illegally or who are receiving entitlements who will always vote with the Democrats. The only way to reverse the slide, is to vote progressives out of office and keep them out. It kind of makes me wish I lived in a time when men and women had acute political wisdom, fought for what they believed, and died for that belief as well. But, alas, we've become a weak people. A people unaccustomed to action at any level. A people mostly unaware of real integrity and principle in terms of the political process. It's been bred out of us over the past 100 or so years. Get involved, get active, get ready to vote, and vote correctly - with your mind, not your heart. You need to know if that Senator you like is a progressive or not. You need to know if your Representative is a progressive or not. If they are you need to vote them out whether you like them personally or not. It's the most powerful weapon we have, but if we're afraid (or incapable) of firing it, then we are lost. Get prepared people. The fight is coming! Wake Up America, and fight the good fight! Time is running out!
