When Will a Major Republican of Conscience Step Forward

[sunskyfan]

No matter your politics, maybe it is time for reasonable people to consider calling these guys formally on the carpet and determine what really happened. It will take a major Republican to do this like Goldwater went to the White House to tell Nixon it was over.

"Major Republican" and "of Conscience" are mutually exclusive. If you have a conscience, that means you don't know how to tow the line enough to have "high electability," hence you will not be considered a "Major Republican."

I know of a few Republicans of Conscience, and I know of a few Major Republicans. The difference between them is as big as the difference between Mula Man and Raz.

I think you could extend that to "Major Politician". Feels like the last days of the (Roman) Republic....

All political parties are bought and paid for.

May I suggest perusing "The Political Illusion" by Jacques Ellul, as I think that will help introduce another perspective.
