Over the past 50 76 years, conservatives have been abandoned and betrayed by fellow Republican

From 1936 to 1952,the Republicans forsook a solid conservative, Robert A.Taft, for Alf Landon, Wendell Willkie, Tom Dewey and Dwight Eisenhower. Landon, Willkie and Dewey were losers, and under Eisenhower, the Republican stregth in Congress shrunk with every election, culminating in the blowout of 1958..

After Bob Taft's death, Conservative Republicans were basically neutered during the Eisenhower years. Goldwater didn't have enough influence to affect the party philosophy. Plus there was very little policy wise that set apart the two parties.

Seeing all this happen we decided in 1960 to never have children that would have to live in the aftermath of the total destruction of the US.

I really expected us to be where we are now about 20 years ago but it has been due to conservatives fighting back that has delayed our total demise.

Even Reagan was a big government tax and spend politician, when Governor of CA he doubled government employment and tripled taxes.

He only balanced the budget in his last year by getting withholding tax passed thereby giving the state 2 years taxes in one year, his last.
