Because of this administration's power-crazed, drunken over-reaching
Wasn't there something about the Bush admin doing this too? I think so. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
It may be too much to ask, but the Republicans have an opportunity to get back to the foundation of core party beliefs - if they only will recognize the opening that's there for the taking.
It will take leadership that can put together something similar to the once-successful, but quickly abandoned "Contract With America" style position - a movement of sorts. It won't happen with independent or 3rd party candidates, so it will have to be a movement that is clear of thought and purpose - and one which will gain independent support.
I can only hope that the time has come for rational thought and action. If not, capitalism is done - at least here.
The only 2 people that come to mind that can deliver such a message are not ideal for the job - Newt Gingrich and/or Mitt Romney. IMO, we sorely need another Ronald Reagan..... soon.

The republicans, and the democrats sure do seem to be pushing the same agenda Frank.
I'm down with the TRUE conservatives with the fiscal responsibility, and strong military. I REALLY distrust them when they start talking about wanting less federal government. No one wants to legislate themselves out of a job.
I just can't agree with the "Socially conservative" conservatives... the "Moral Majority" folks who try to impose religion, and their morals onto everyone.
The ones that hate Gays, Drugs, or anything that makes them uncomfortable. The ones that will take their kids to see shoot-em-up 10000 blockbuster movie, but the second any sex or nudity is shown, they go ballistic, and "shield" their children from it.
IMO, NONE of this should have ANY ANY ANY business at all in the government. That's the main reason I see the republicans crashing, and burning, and that IS one of the main reasons I will not support them.
