Gridlock is the supposed checks and balances of government working. What you are saying is that politicians should betray their constituents and their principles. Gotcha. |

oh, nice way of putting words in my mouth, just enough twist on the original to make it sound as if that is what I'm saying. Gridlock is not checks and balances. Since is it highly unlikely that a nation of 300 million plus will all agree on how to best run the country it is incumbent for their elected officials to represent a nation of 300 million plus and reach a consensus, now they can vote yea or nay but that is what the Bill process is all about. |

But to move us back to the Topic...when the Far Right has done what they wanted and purged we moderates and liberals from the GOP, just how do they think they'll win elections with a 20% base? |

Why should they compromise on their principles of small government to appease big government statism? That isn't what their constituents want - or you think they should betray the will of the voters? |

Cooperating with the progressive democrats is as cowardly as Poles who collaborated with the communist party. There is no room for consensus anymore than there is with communist. Patriotic poles didn't work with the communist party because it granted it an air of illegitimacy. There should be no cooperation with the progressive Democratic Party as it is a foreign entity which must meet the same fate as the communist parties of Eastern Europe in 1989. |

If the democratic base did not consist of government employees and welfare recipients, you might have a point. Progressive constituencies are more dependent government services and this is a loophole which must be exploited. |

Pogrom? You feeling massacred? Kinda shocked someone of your alleged heritage would be so flippant with the hyperbole....especially in light of your frequent accusations against those of us who made similar word tangents to slavery.... |

Fair enough, how bout just simply purged us....how's that?...Now, back to the question, how do you expect to win with a base of 20% of the American electorate? I mean, you've got what you wanted,a GOP free of us wimp, milquetoast moderates and liberals..and you'll win back the Oval Office on your own how exactly? |

Well, #1, it doesn't consist of welfare, and government employees...you know it, I know, so don't be absurd bout your comments and I won't have to call you on it...a man with a graduate degree making such an asinine comment is beneath you. #2, there are a helluva lot of the Republican base that partake of government handouts. Or did you think that only Democrats partook of such things? |

There multiple manners in which victory is achieved and elections are by no means the end all and be all. |

You have placed your mind inside of a prison which led to a situation wherein the enemy's lack of approval paralyzes you from attaining enlightenment. |

Newsflash, it's what it's always about..winning elections, and thus power, who has it, who wants it, and what are you prepared to do to get it or keep it...that's a reality check for you. Away from the academic, your "spiritual victory", etc..etc...there's a healthy dose of reality for you. |

It's so sad to see Tsalgai embrace such a superficial limitation of victory. That is not the path to transcendence. |

Last I checked you self proclaimed wimp, milquetoast moderates still occupy the DC dependent political class who espouses a certain set of principles to get elected and then proceeds to do the opposite upon arrival thereby giving those of us who sent them there no representation.... The fact the we are both on this con board means that there is probably not a lot we differ on....the key difference is I understand the enemy of the people is the state while you want to compromise by ceding more of your freedom to the state in the guise of getting along... When you compromise with evil you still get evil....albeit in a slightly smaller dose...until the next compromise... |

You see, that is the sad thing, the State, i.e., the Federal Government, the Republic is not the enemy. Self-righteous dogma replacing sound pragmatism is what has happened to my Party, where fiery rhetoric counts for more then actual solutions to a problem. Your man Trump hasn't specified one single solitary policy change and how he'd actually get it done. The opposition is also not "evil", I'm sorry, it's absurd, and politics is all about compromise, finding the middle road, getting something better then nothing. Then again, I forget, guys like you are hoping for nothing, obstructionism, gridlock...nothing ever getting done because you don't want to agree with anything the other side puts out, on the sole basis it's being done by a Democrat. |

Please define "transcendence" as you've used it. |
