My views on Marco Rubio are…

…what’s the word? Oh, yes. Evolving.

With Rubio’s curious maneuvers on the immigration bill, and the 16 Republicans (including “conservative” Pat Toomey) who voted to kill off the possibility of a filibuster on the gun control legislation, I am more convinced than ever that the GOP is on its last legs as an effective national party. I don’t know that a third party – shall we call it the Constitutional Party ? – would be very successful in the beginning; however, the Democrat model for society is going to collapse at some point, and we should start laying the groundwork for an organization that will be in a position to begin picking up the pieces. An alternative, of course, would be for grassroots organizations to do everything within their power to drive pusillanimous and/or unprincipled elected officials from the existing party; it’s conceivable, though, that establishment Republicans are so thoroughly entrenched, and promising new conservative politicians are so easily fetched by their blandishments, that the task may be well-nigh impossible.

Meanwhile, I, er, dreamed yesterday that I found an AR-15-type rifle (with a 30-rd magazine) online and purchased it. Looking forward to my next two dreams: picking it up at the store, and taking it to the range.

Nice Dreams, Paco. I had exactly the same dreams about a 357Mag Handi-rifle about a month ago.

I think the Tea Party needs to grow and evolve into the "party-in-waiting", for the time when the GOP is dead, and gone. Or, take over the GOP the way the far left has infiltrated the Donks.

Good suggestions, R-Man.

Those are nice dreams, Paco! Very nice!

All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

Deborah said... Taking back the GOP isn't a fantasy when looking at the strides Conservatives made at the state levels and, with the election of Ted Cruz, for example. Another consideration is that some of the old guard are retiring. Plus, there is sure to be consequences for those that support dangerous legislation such as gun control.

Dream on. Paco and rinardman. Dream on!

Don't give up. That's the only thing I can offer.

Nice dream, I might suggest that you spend time dreaming about speaking with experts concerning what sights and systems to attach to it according to hypothetical uses. That is the second half of the picture. Nothing fancy, just suitable and reliable under expected conditions.

Penguinator: I'll certainly try to visit that issue in my dreams.
