    These speakers are the real conservatives and they will tell you up front that they don’t agree with most Democrats BUT they see the very real danger that their party has become. Sometimes a back-fire is necessary to fight a forest fire. In other words, take the bus that gets you closest to your destination.

      Yup! We can return the favor by supporting Republicans who follow reason and act in good faith. We all recognize that in some places getting anyone left leaning elected is practically impossible. So what we can do is back a good red ticket instead. Just one of many courses we could take in the near future. If you squint, this also has the potential to lead into a three party system later on.

      That said, accountability should be part of the game they’re playing.

        Ever heard the phrase RINO, Republican In Name Only?

        Reagan and Jerry Falwell purged the liberal GOPs back in the 1980s.

        These days, George W. is considered a weak sister.
