Isn't that the way of all politicians? Dig a deep hole and then claim to have the solution?No kidding. When the GOP had complete control of government it did not solve a single national problem. Instead, it grew government worse than any Democrat, spent worse than any Democrat, and added more welfare dependents than any Democrat.
FDR's ghost is smiling.
The end result of all this is that there are simply too many people dependent on government now for conservatives to make their case.

We have Freepers who believe that because Republicans aren't conservative enough, we should elect Democrats. That will fix it.

Another statistic many ignore is in regard to the Supreme Court nominations. They set great store in a few conservative nominations. They ignore that all (13 in number) but 2 (Clinton appointees) of the SCJ's appointed since LBJ/1969 were appointed by Republicans. The Republicans don't have that stellar of a record, even appointing SC justices.

Even the Irish Socialist George Bernard Shaw admitted this: "A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul."
I only pray that all the folk posting here today call their congressfolk to hound them about the futile and thus disastrous course we're on--and to plead with them to stand for conservative principles. As Maggie would say, we must not give in and hand the future of America to socialism--or worse!
