Republican controlled Executive office, Senate and HOR, FOX news is #1, Rush is #1.
Yep, looks like republicans are in DEEP trouble.
Yep, looks like republicans are in DEEP trouble.
Yup, they are.
Now, the PARTY, though... the Republican PARTY is sittin' pretty. But the traditional Republicans -- the "limited government, conservative" folks... yup, "DEEP trouble" pretty much sizes it up alright.
The Grand Old Party of today is drifting to the left at an increasing pace. Today's Republicans are to the left of yesteryear's Democrats. Compare GWB with HHH -- check out their respective positions on the RKBA and it'll curl your hair. Then compare GWB with LBJ on "social programs" and ol' MacByrd will come off looking like a conservative by comparison!
Is the price of obtaining power the need to embrace compromise to the point that the GOP becomes that which it competes against?
If so, I'd call it a lousy bargain.
