I sympathize with the letter writer, the GOP although accomplished all the things you mention have become no more Conservative than the Democratic Party of the 1960's under LBJ.

With this administration, our right to free speech has been subverted by Campaign Finance Reform, our nation pushed to socialism by the Medicare Bill and the deficit is going through the roof.

It seems that America is in a perpetual creep leftward to Socialism and all the GOP offers is to provide us with a Socialist State only 20 years after the Democrats would take us to Socialism if left to their own devices.

The move to Socialism must be stopped and not just slowed as the Republicans have been doing since 1/20/1989.

"The move to Socialism must be stopped and not just slowed as the Republicans have been doing since 1/20/1989." Amen! [And for the record, I *am* going to vote for W blemishes and all. At very least, he's closer to Reagan than his dad was. If I had my druthers, the GOP would be unabashedly Rightist, though!]
