Congress != Progress
I consider Obama to be socially and economically ruining this nation. I am not prepared to back off one subatomic particle.
I think some of you have misconstrued my message.
I'm not asking anyone to compromise their principles.
What I'm referring to is the tendency of the losing party to eat it's own.
The blame and finger pointing.
The "Romney was too moderate" blames the moderates.
The "It was the social issues" blames the social conservatives.
The "folks who wasted there vote on Paul and Johnson cost us the election" blames the libertarians.
The permutation are endless.
We are a coalition party...alienating any coalition member hurts the party.
The point of my thread is that we need time to reflect and present opinions on how to proceed...not tear off a leg of the stool berate it as the fault...the root cause of defeat.
It's just not that simple.
That's what I mean by distancing oneself from defeat..."It's not me, I'm right, it's THOSE guys who are to blame"
The ego almost demands that response.
We need to fight that urge, changeling it into something more productive.
Does that clarify my intent?
Yes. However, there is a group to blame and that's the RNC. They have AGAIN failed to attract new voters while alienating lots of existing voters. The RNC failed because they have still been the party of big government just slightly less than Democrats.
I'm done holding my nose to vote for a fiscal liberal. I'm heading to Libertarian Party.
See ya.
