oh really? there are a few conservatives but unfortunately the republican party seems to being taken over by big government rinos. can you explain to me why our government has expanded more in the past 4 years then it ever has? can you tell me how a prescription drug plan of that magnitude got passed with a republican majorities in the house and senate? dont be disillusioned. there are plenty of liberals in the republican party.

I really don't know how to answer you. Not that
I don't understand the problems you raise or
wouldn't want them corrected NOW.

My problem is that the government is just a bit
more complex then you seem to think and one must
understand what the climate is like. I don't
take the weather mans word for it, I look for
myself before leaving that coat at home.

Wearing blinders or having tunnel vision can put
the Republicans out of power in a heart beat. I
would think 40 years in the wilderness would be
enough for you.

There is the entire spectrum in the Republican
party from liberal to conservatives. What I see
are very few on the left, most in the middle right
and a large minority on the far right. That is
the way it seems to be at least to me.

Only children demand: I want what I want when I
want it and really expect to get it right then
and there.

I guess my answer to you is that a trip of a
thousand miles starts with the first step.

So that you know where I am coming from, I am an
Independent. Conservative in most things, size of
government and economy and moderate in many social
issues but not all.
