There are some who might say that there is no Republican party today. Just a mockery of the word.
what are you doing on this site? Who did YOU vote for in 2004? You've been all over the map, supporting big government by being against states rights, then being against big government by supporting states rights. All the while you find a way to bash president Bush. Sounds like a TROLL if you ask me.
I would say there is no conservative party today, just a mockery of the word. The Republican party, well, it might just be "back to it's roots" the way certain book-peddling pseudo-historians chime on about the way the R's should be "progressive" and all. Interesting when I think about how the Republicans were formed as a reactionary party, and now it's the Democrats who are trying to apply that model across the board to everything from abortion to gay rights. Their core philosophy seems to be morphing into, "Whatever Republicans say is wrong," while the Republicans are morphing into, "Whatever you say can't be wrong, so long as you vote for us."
Even more interesting is that when you were asking others to name a Southern conservative, the first person to pop into my head??? Zel Miller. Might just be because he gets a lot of press, though.
"...there is no Republican Party today. Just a mockery of the word"...........You may have a point there!!!
