We effectively have had a one party system for some time. There is/was very little difference between Republicans and Democrats for the past 50 years. They functionally both increased the size of the Federal government (recall that Reagan mandated a 55 mph speed limit on all the states and increased the deficit. Think of Bush’s prescription drug scheme). Both political parties like to spend more money than they take in from taxes. The Democrats and Bush have outdone themselves by almost doubling the national debt IN ONE YEAR! Truly, I say to you, that our grandchildren will curse our names because we stood by and did nothing.

Until a major change occurs, there will be no effective change but tax and spend and tax again. There is a conservative base out there ( I estimate about 13 percent give or take a few percent that could do something, but they are disorganized and tend to fight among themselves.)

In the meantime let the MSM pick the Republican candidate which the Democrats will trounce. May God have mercy on the US - the last great hope of Earth.
