Well, I remember when the conservatives had no voice in the media (back then, the networks were the only voice for national dialog). Today, alternative media is everywhere - and we have Rush. (Did everyone stand up?)

Add the pubbie revolution of '94, and things have gotten better...working on it.

It's frustrating to see progress but know that much remains to be done. But, I'm weary of the struggle.

IMO, the '94 revolution has completely fizzled out. The only way one can honestly call the GOP a party who believes in smaller government is when you compare it to the Dims. I know that the War on Terror & Homeland Security are their favorite excuses for expanding government, but the size of the federal government has drastically increased since the Republicans won back control of Congress 11 years ago.

When President Clinton told Congress "the era of big government is over", everyone in the GOP side of the aisle stood up & applauded--yet they did little to actually turn that goal into a reality: have any federal departments been eliminated since they took over? Of course not--they have actually INCREASED the # of federal departments & agencies, our national debt is well over $8 TRILLION now, we are now the world's global cop by default (I remember back in the '70s & '80s that this is one thing the GOP was strongly opposed to being), & on & on....

The current GOP no longer deserves the support of those who revere our Constitution.
