Yeah, I kunda agree w/ you that today's GOP is like the Democratic Party of 70 yrs ago: you hardly ever hear Republicans question the constitutionality (or better yet, the LACK THEREOF) of FDR's big-government programs...or those of LBJ's Great Society, let alone abolish them. They said back in 1994 that they wanted to eliminate the Dept. of Education, but once they took control of Congress, that idea was flushed down the toilet.

A smaller government party my aSS.

I hear you, libertyman.

We'll see what happens within the next 4 years, but I don't see why they *deserve* my vote if it keeps up...

LOL! Tennessee governor Alexander railed against the Federal government imposing education standards on a state issue. Appointed Education Secretary Alexander railed against states defying "what's in their better interests". That SOB now holds a Senate seat and diligently looks out for the interests of country-club Republicans while refining his RINOness.

Come back, Fred Thompson!
