[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 1683945, member: 1132"] I think we ended up with McCain because a bunch of Republicans don't comprehend the Republican party principles. Just like a majority of Americans couldn't pass a citizenship test, I'd bet that most Republicans couldn't name their party principles. As a matter of fact, I don't appear to match up very well as a Republican these days, because it's morphed into some bizzaro version of its former self. I'm sad and frustrated and angry over this development. A great number of Republicans only care which candidate can beat the Democrat candidate as well. That marginalizes the party as nothing more than an alternative to liberalism, when it can be so much more. By only allowing quality candidates to advance to the general elections, the Republican party can hold itself out as an example of what the country can be under the principles of the party. In MY Republican party, elected officials would revere and use the Constitution as the primary guide to quality legislation, not use it as a pulpit with one hand and wipe their ass with it using the other. In MY Republican party, elected officials and candidates would champion civil rights for everyone, regardless of their race, creed or nationality. In MY Republican party, elected officials and candidates would focus on good governance, not legislating morals. That's what churches and communities are for. In MY Republican party, elected officials and candidates would practice sound fiscal policy, not promote corporate welfare. In MY Republican party, elected officials and candidates would promote opportunity for individuals, rather than stifling competition for major donors. In MY Republican party, elected officials and candidates would not consider corporations "people" or pizza a "vegetable", because those ideals are outside the purview of good governance. They would not legislate baseball or any other sport either. In MY Republican party, elected officials and candidates would have a foreign policy that focused on balanced trade and respect for other cultures, rather than using diplomacy and interventionism as leverage against other nations. In MY Republican party, elected officials and candidates would support our international allies, but with strict stipulations on their conduct and our military assistance. That policy would not waver based on whim or expediency. In MY Republican party, elected officials and candidates would support our troops at home as well as abroad, and with more than just lip service. In MY Republican party, elected officials and candidates would support the sacrifice of our military service members, by refusing to entangle us in expeditionary pursuits in support of "democracy" and selfish or expedient interests. Post conflict "police actions" would be forever barred. In MY Republican party, elected officials and candidates would practice ethical treatment of others, rather than condemning them for their differences. In MY Republican party, elected officials and candidates would promote charity in the community through their words, wallets and deeds, rather than condemning all social programs. In MY Republican party, elected officials and candidates would stand on their own merits and the party principles, rather than demonizing the Democrats as a political strategy. This list could literally go on for days. I simply do not comprehend or relate to the "Republican Party" as it represents itself today. It is an aberration to me and implicitly culpable in the decline of our society and our nation. Is the Democratic party responsible as well? Absolutely! But pretending they're solely responsible while foolishly pursuing selfish and irrational public policies, all the while while pointing fingers at the awful Democrats is the height of hypocrisy. Matthew 7:5 would counsel Republicans to "first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye." I am SO fed up with party politics that I want to scream out loud!
