So you think by moving then you somehow have done something about local politics? Local politics are not only the city you live in but also the state. If none of the issues have come up then I guess that is a big part of the problem. What are the citizens doing about illegal immigration in the state of Ohio? What are the citizens doing about upcoming state and federal elections? Are they a part of the process of choosing the right people to run for office and working to get them elected?

What do you mean by this- can you clarify it a bit? But if I read you right, I would disagree. my choice is a waste because Republicans have no grasp.

But I don’t know if I read you right.

Many liberal frame many of Bush’s decisions in a way that makes it seem all conservatives follow him in lockstep in everything he does. That is what you just did with Reagan.

“So pointing out the truth is liberal?”

No, but taking the truth and altering it a bit to meet your point is. And before you say “What do you mean?” I already outlined it in post 10. No one gave him a pass, but also realize Reagan’s situation wasn’t identical to Juan McCain’s either

“Wow..thanks for that insight.”

You’re welcome.

“But back to local politics I have a question for you. Do you participate in changing laws in your community?”

Changing laws? Not much issues come up locally like that. It is one of the reasons I moved from my home town. RR said it best: The best way to vote is with your feet.

I do participate in meetings (some involve zoning laws, so that may qualify), volunteer in getting the school levy passed this Tuesday, volunteered on a couple of local campaigns. I even had a friend that was a body guard for Governor Voinivich. I got to speak with him in depth at the Ohio’s governor’s mansion a couple of time for about 20 minutes.

But back to local politics I have a question for you. Do you participate in changing laws in your community?

No one is giving Reagan a pass. He tried a new approach to an old problem, and it didn’t work. Most conservatives realize this, but what we hate is that we are now trying to repeat a realized mistake of the past.

That;s the difference between conservatives and liberals: We realize our mistakes, learn from them and move on. Dems repeat them. Juan McCain and Bush seems to be the exception. They aren’t learning from the mistake.

“My biggest fear is that not enough conservatives will vote at all.”

Because McCain is a social-ist- we have three social-ist/globalist (very little difference there IMO) as our choices which is no choice at all. One just happens to be in the Republican party, and they should be ashamed of that.

So that is a fear based on fact- as I said, I’m probably not going to vote but if I do it will be for Clinton.
