If the GOP wins both the House and Senate, I can guarantee that there will be plenty of people complaining that it is either too conservative, not conservative enough or just right.
The same Representative or Senator will be labeled a NeoCon, RINO, NAZI or moderate depending upon who is branding them.
I'm already to the point, screw it, not matter how I vote or how many letters I write or if I volunteer to work party or campaign, things hardly every turn out how I would like them too.
So if as long as I get paid, laid and fed I'm not going to give a damn anymore. Life is too short to fester negative thoughts on things out of my control.
I'm sorry you've reached my level of cynicism. It's probably the more accurate position to hold in relation to reality though, so there's that :D
Unfortunately we're limited on how much we can actually know and we're reliant on untrustworthy sources for our information. After you find yourself regretting support you've given folks who turn out to do the opposite of what they've campaigned on, yet once again, the futility of it all starts to set in.
Family, friends, co-workers, neighbors, community, state then nation. The hierarchy of my sphere of influence and immediate concern is dictated by face time. I just don't have good data to go off of the farther away from my circle the issues reside.
No longer do I trust the government or
any of the media enough to sign off on sending someone off to a foreign country to potentially die.
Unlike the liberal left I don't think our society will let people die of hunger if government isn't there with their so called safety net. I think we would rise to the occasion.
Politicians are not the answer. Government perverts everything it touches due to its reliance on coercion. Government is always coercion, of somebody.
