Reasons I Am No Longer A Republican (Page 6): Be very careful what you ask for. Electing a fully rightist government may not be what you really want. If you look closely at the times...

Be very careful what you ask for. Electing a fully rightist government may not be what you really want. If you look closely at the times when we, (The USA) have had the White House, and both houses of Congress controlled by the same party, it has resulted in the worst government! Most recently when Republicans were in control of all three under Bush II we got the “Patriot Act” the biggest theft of liberty in history up to that point in time. Prime example of the fruits of Democrat control, “Obama Care”.
The work gets done in the middle! Hitler was far right, Stalin far left, but in practice they were the sane guy! Anyone who argued with either one disappeared!

Well, in my vision, the Rightists are honest, morally straight, virtuous, with intelligence and common sense, and the Leftists are just the opposite, almost deliberately so! That makes my vision work at the fundamental level. LOL! We already have an almost perfect mix now, and look where that has gotten us! I'd say, more corrupt!

If we can clean house, and clean up the ideologically-driven Left, then a more balanced situation would be possible eventually.

It’s the individual players who are corrupt, and stopping any good ideas!

That says we need to form an honest group, Right and Left, to take down the corrupt wherever found. But such an ad hoc group can be thwarted by a corrupt leadership, so we need to ensure a clean set of leaders. Sure! A clean Leftist leader? Schumer? Pelosi? Schiff, Obama, name one!
We actually have two battles at the same time to win: corruption pure and simple, and the ideology of the Left, from which I believe the corruption is fostered. By tracing the money flow, we just might be able to take down the sources of corruption outside the gov. as well as inside. Ditto for the ideological nuts inside. Then too, we need to investigate the courts as well, for either sin: money or ideology, and that is a very sticky wicket!

I am all for purity of the mind of our legislators, judges and leaders. This means, for me, I reject for any of these gov posts people that are not fully supportive of the American Way, or have ideological allegiance to socialism/communism/Islam/anarchy/foreign allegiance/corruption/or any form of anti-Americanism.

But with one vote and highly limited information, I cannot do very much but write about it! They look very good before being elected, but after??

Individually I agree that conservatives have more on the ball than liberals. However, collectively the Republicans in Congress are a bunch of do nothings! That we need to clean house is a given! I would add that the house will never be cleaned by the career mainstream politicians, it will take outsiders to do this job!

If the job is to be done by "outsiders," just who are they, and how is it they can be trusted to head an insurrection in Congress, in the Admin or in the Judiciary? We seem to be talking about revolution here in an oblique manner. Then too, who vets the "Outsiders"? How do we ensure their purity of heart and mind? The public has not done an outstanding job of vetting their representatives, so how can they be trusted to vet the 'Outsiders"? Sounds like Founding Fathers II. Are there any?

There has never been a 3rd party created that successfully won the election. Do you like this new Kennedy? Ross Peru got 8% votes in 1996.

Kennedy is good except for his gun control stance.
I’d vote for him before I voted for Haley.

Stand with Trump! He is a patriot and loves this country. He invested his life, fortune, and honor and reputations to take back America. We will be with him!
