Are you a Republican?

I was until 2006, when I switched to independent when renewing my DL. I haven't voted for a Democrat in my life, and I think the last Dem anyone in my family voted for nationally was Humphrey. We have given 10's of thousands to Republicans / RNC / RNSC, etc. over the years.

But I see one trajectory in Washington, and it is unchanged in it's direction regardless of who is in power. Every year the scope and scale and reach of the Federal Government grows, and it fails to accomplish even the most basic things we expect of it (borders, immigration, national security.) After 12 years of Republicans owning the Congress, and 6 years of them owning all of DC, I saw prescription drug plans and amnesty plans and open borders and new plans for the Dept. of Ed. and political correctness and failed commissions and all the same CRAP I had attributed to Democrats being driven by Republicans.

Beck is right. It is not enough to suck less, or simply slow the slide to socialist big government. It is time to turn it around.

And this juvenile, style oriented, elitist sounding smack talk about Beck on this thread is the exact sort of stupidity that "Republicans" are famous for. Get divided and stay that way. I personally don't watch Beck because I don't own a TV. But I saw the CPAC speech, I appreciate that he has been a strident critic of this administration, and he is responsible for educating people to the danger of progressive rot infesting BOTH parties.

You may like someone else more based on content or style. Frankly, I am glad for Limbaugh, Beck, Boortz, Cain, Ingrahm, Coulter, et al ... they are ALL a much needed balance to the spin of the MSM, and Conservatives should be grateful for ALL of them.
