Well, depending on the race the most conservative alternative might be the Democrat, the way the Republicans had been spending like drunken sailors in the years leading up to 2006.
Great catch! The media really missed a big point.
I’ve always wondered why the media doesn’t have more conservative jounalists. Yes, I know taht most colleges are liberal but that doesn’t really answer it for me. One thing most conservatives have in common in thinking for themselves.
Just wait until you see how a Dem controlled government will spend. The last 18 months is a good indication...they added billions of dollars to everything.
I've tried over the years to explain that the growth in the government in the last eight years has not been excessive when the demands of war, disaster,financial market meltdowns, and the nation's phenomenal growth are taken into account.
More important than that is what that money is spent on. Democrats will starve the military and increase spending on social programs across the board and increase taxes at will to fund it. Republicans are far more fiscally conservative, period.
