I can say such a thing because I'm a realist, perhaps? Because I recognize that while liberty is growing in popularity in some small pockets of the country, there's simply no possible way RP would carry California, New York, Florida, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan or any number of other states? We can reconsider this when pro-freedom candidates start winning seats in places like NYC, Detroit, and LA.
It took generations to get the mess we have today. The enemy is in control of the educational system, is the darling of the popular media, and sends big checks every month to a substantial portion of the population -- checks that RP's election would quite possibly reduce or eliminate.
On top of that, the small-government tea party movement has been hijacked by the Sarah Palin/Glen Beck theocratic wing of the Republican Party. How often does RP even get mentioned in relation to that movement anymore? How many of those "tea party" candidates are theocratic war-mongers in disguise? And after the non-ground zero non-mosque debacle, a lot of sane people are ashamed to be associated with that movement anyway.
People have to understand why an all-powerful state won't work before anything substantial changes. Yes, there are millions who understand that now; there are also millions who stick their fingers in their ears and shout "na na na" to avoid being exposed to the truth. That's not something that's going to be cured in a year or two, as much as I wish otherwise.
We're much more likely to end up with a theocracy than we are with a pro-liberty president.
