Where is the Democrat party’s Rand Paul? Why don’t they have a John McCain? How is it that the Democrats are capable of such lock-step zombyism?
It could be a weakness of the Republicans. Maybe they are all such nice guys that they can’t bring themselves to force people into line. Maybe they are afraid of rejection. Or it could simply be that conservatives tend to believe in individual freedom. Maybe they believe that the ones to discipline Rand Paul should be the people that elected him, not the party bosses.
Maybe it is the commitment of the Democrats. The problem with that is that the only thing they seem to be committed to in this generation is an ideology of socialism and central control. What kind of people with above average intelligence and any moral principles could sit silently and follow the agenda and distortions of the Obama administration? Maybe the question answers itself.
Should I be glad that the Republicans actually believe in the kinds of diversity that make a difference? Republicans as a whole don’t have racial hangups like the left. What we have are hangups about liberty and living our own lives.
It would still be nice if all the mavericks were not on our side.

Unfortunately, being "right" is worthless if they can't subdue their ego's enough to co-operate a little and get the vote.
ReplyDeleteCompromise is always hard. What makes it harder is when they expect us to be the only ones who compromise. Better no law than bad law.
