I want a President who can relate to me, my life, my struggles, my philosophy, my principles I want a President who would competently serve as chief magistrate administering the rules he was sworn to defend. No more. And I'd like him to subscribe to that "rigid inflexible ideology" implicit in our founding intent. Such is not to be, so we will endure an increasingly Fascist Totalitarian Entity.

Government has become a Fascist Totalitarian Entity from whichever party's principles you look at. That is my opinion. Rigid inflexible ideology on both sides of the spectrum. You have a point. That is a unique way to put it. Boehner pulled plum committee assignments from Tea Party Conservatives and gave them to fiscally pliant representatives. The Republican Party fears the Tea Party and all others who would hold them to the standards of our Founding Fathers. The separation between the Republicans and democrats do not appear to be many degrees. Mostly they both seem to worship power.
