Oh, goody. Another basher thread.

Pointing out where we went astray is not bashing. We need to correct this trend before the 2008 campaign. Those who worked hard on the 1994 "Contract With America" campaign were expecting the finishing of the Reagan Revolution. (Reagan revived the economy and defeated communism, but left the downsizing of the federal government to his successors) Newt and his gang got of to a really good start, but the revolution fizzled and many were left frustrated. In the 2000 campaign, Bush ran as a "compassionate conservative" on a platform of expanding the Dept. of Education, among other programs. Gone was even the pretense that the GOP intended to finish the Reagan Revolution. It was seen at the time of a repudiation of the approach taken by the "Contract With America" Republicans. The 2008 campaign gives us the chance to re-chart a course toward smaller government. That WILL NOT happen if we remain complacent and satisfied with the current trend.
