GOP Abandons Conservatives

"This just in ..."

[luckydevi]

"The unfortunate truth is that the Bush administration, aided by a Republican congress, has increased spending more in three years than the previous administration did in eight"

SIGH

[tkathy]

GWB is doing his best to get reelected, thereby keeping Dean or Hillary from ruining the country!

[LandofLincoln]

If this ain't the truth. The Republican party has become the RINOs. I became a Republican back in 1980, a Reagan-Democrat. And some way, some how I end up in a party full of Jesse Jackson-Republicans.

In the fight between the left and the right, the right has become the left.

OUCH!

[LandofLincoln]

That is like saying ... "If someone is going to ruin this country, let it be us."

[Dead Corpse]

You don't do that by doing EVEYTHING that Dean or Hillary would do if they were in office.

[xrp]

Come on...you Republican-voting simpletons didn't actually think it would be reduced or that government programs would be cut back or eliminated with a GoP Congress and White House did you?

Alternatives worth looking at:

The Constitution Party

The Libertarian Party

Only time the GOP had any spine lately was when klintoon was in office. Seems like divided government is the only chance we have, at least the drift to the left seems slower that way.

[lelio]

The federal government now spends roughly $21,000 per household every year, up from $16,000 just 4 years ago.

Tommy Dashole is deeply saddened, its all Clintoon's fault, if only the R's were in control of Congress. Blah blah blah.

I wonder what difference either would make.

[Scenic Sounds]

I think one of two things is happening: Either the Republican party is becoming less conservative or conservative thought is changing.

Hasn't it always been this way?

[Dane]

Why the hypothetical? You know the differences, but don't want to acknowledge them.

Thanks for the post. I haven't read Mr Paul for a while. Have to bring his site back to the top of my bookmarks. Again.

[kevao]

To paraphrase Ronald Reagan:

I didn't leave the Republican Party; the Republican Party left me.

[The_Eaglet]

Bump for later review

[buckalfa]

National security is the only reason to support Bush if
you are a conservative as to economic policy.

[jmc813]

I haven't read Mr Paul for a while.

He publishes a weekly column on his House web site. I try to post the columns here on FR every Monday. If you do a search for "Paul", you should find a bunch, as I try to include his name in the thread title for easier searching.

Hey, Dane! How ya doin'?

[Dane]

I didn't leave the Republican Party; the Republican Party left me

And giving the finger to the UN, passing tax cuts, and signing a partial birth abortion ban is anti-conservative how?
