Greger, you’re much like me. You take the reality of the situation and go from there without letting emotion take over. I totally agree with what you said in your last two posts. You said the same thing I was trying, but in a lot less words.

I don’t think the Democrats like pro-life democrats. At least elected, incumbent, democratic house representatives that are pro-life. The Democrats defeated 3 of them in 2020 in their democratic primaries only to lose all 3 seats that if those pro-life incumbent democrats had run would have won. What that has done to the overall picture of this year’s midterms is that the GOP needs a net gain of 5 instead of 8. I’d say the democrats shot themselves in the foot with their pro-choice litmus test. That’s just my opinion

I’m more of an election strategist, a pragmatist, even a compromiser if that is what it takes to get me at least some of what I want. I’m no stand on my principle with the all or none options which none usually is the results. It’s not that I prefer the real world to my fantasy one, but I’m smart enough to realize which one I must live in and make the best of it.


It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
