Disenchanted and Disenfranchised

As I predicted earlier, it appears Republicans are prepared to capitulate again to Obama, this time on the debt ceiling, after closed door meetings between Harry Reid, the majority leader of the US Senate (Democrat-Nevada), Senate minority leader, the putative Republican Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, and the Speaker of the US House John Boehner, also reputed to be a member of the GOP but certainly a sob sister. This is once again a sellout of conservative principles and of the vast majority of Republican voters. Conservatives have no voice in America. We are treated as subjects not citizens and even supposed stalwarts of the right fail the ideological purity test over and over. Even Rick Perry, who is being hyped as the great hope of the Right, pushed in-state tuition for illegal aliens and says the perversion of marriage by homosexuals is a states' rights issue. If GOP actions do not now cry out third party, when will America's conservatives say "enough"?
