Show me the Republicans who are running on repealing 34 and 68.
Show me anyone else who is doing so.
Now if you have anyone, show me how many people are willing to vote for that person. We have 300M+ people in this country. If only half are eligible to vote and only half of those are willing to vote, that still leaves 75M+ people. Of those 75M or so, how many will look at such a person as a "crackpot"?
Obviously, the above numbers are not based in any actual, demonstrable fact, but are merely illustrative of the general point that this is not about Party affiliation, it's about who will support our rights and who will vote for someone who does so.
Keep in mind that someone who truly supports our rights is going to embrace things that will make them very unpopular in some circles: Oppose welfare and you get one large group against you. Oppose Medicare/Medicaid and you get another. Oppose illegal immigration and you get still another. Of course, there will be some crossover between those, but you quickly drain away support for our rights when you get groups that have become dependent upon infringements of those rights by "entitlements" and are unwilling to go through the time period between the status quo and the future time when people will be able to take care of themselves or go to sources other than government for help. A friend of mine once described this period, picturing it on a dry-wipe board as "This in here is gonna suck."
Again, it's not about Party. It doesn't matter how many Republicans support it any more than it matters how many Democrats would jump at a 100% controlled society, right up until those controls impinged upon them.
We do not need Democrats. We do not need Republicans.
We need Americans.
