most of the conservatives in our so-called “center-right” country are not doing anything in politics.

A new Diarest, professor123, wrote a good summary of the status quo. And asks if our country really is “center-right” and will remain so.

Our “center-right” country elected Obama — he received 53 per cent of the votes of those who bothered to even cast votes (only about 65 per cent of registered voters bothered). And, likewise, our “center-right” country in 2008 also elected majorities to the House and Senate.

Our “center-right” country did a little better in the 2010 election cycle, but, still, only about 50 per cent of registered voters bothered to go to the polls in this “most important election in our lifetimes.”

And now the pundits are saying, and some incumbent Republicans are saying (like John McCain and Lindsey Graham), that, apparently, the Congress has not “heard” the American people. Wrong. They heard. They. Don’t. Care.

Letters? Faxes? Phone calls? Against the monstrosities they will pass that will bankrupt our country and tear at its fabric? They don’t care. History tells them that if the American people do not actually engage in party politics in greater numbers, by actually getting involved in their local party committees, where they can exercise real political power (like endorsing candidates running against the incumbents in the primary elections, like electing the leadership of the party, like being in the best position to get out the vote for primary election candidates of their choosing), then they will cruise to victory in the next primary election and general election.

In our “center-right” country, right now, about 200,000 Republican precinct committeeman slots are vacant across America. About 54 per cent of the slots are vacant in Maricopa County, Arizona, where I live — supposedly “Goldwater Country.” Our “center-right” country can’t even muster 200,000 people to figure out where and how to unite politically to actually put real pressure on the incumbents.

Until conservative Americans, in droves, attend their local Republican Party committee meetings to learn how to become precinct committeemen, and then participate in party politics (this process is not difficult, onerous or expensive — it’s open to all registered Republicans), the incumbents will continue to ignore the wishes of the American people and tax and spend all they want.

Oh, and don’t worry, none of the incumbent Republicans will harass you to do this. You find any video of them imploring you to come into the the Party to become precinct committeemen. You won’t receive any direct mail pieces from them urging you to get involved in party politics. Why? Because they don’t want you to do this. They’ll ask for your money. They’ll ask for your time. They’ll ask you to volunteer to help them get out the vote. But they’ll NEVER tell you about how you could UNITE POLITICALLY — where it matters, inside the Republican Party — because you might end up in a position to challenge THEM in the primary elections.

We know what the problem is: our so-called “center-right” country keeps electing bad people. The question is: what are we, individually, going to do about it?

The Republican Party is there for the taking. Will you go get your piece of it? A precinct committeeman slot?

Here’s how some where I live decided to act:
