We had eight years of moderation. His name is Bush. While Bush was good when it came to life issues, and slightly to the right of me on the gay issues, he was a liberal on fiscal issues outside of tax cuts. I supported tax cuts, but only with spending decreases.

The anger at Washington right now is because of spending. Now the "moderate" GOP wants to spend more? Go to hell, guys.

Right now we need to focus on less government, less government, and less government, in that order.

Excellant point...unfortunately the prevailing mood among the DC Republican class is that YOU, me and the rest of the base are just a bunch of hayseeds that only need to coddled every election cycle. For years the base has been screaming but to no avail. The Republican in DC party and get their pics taken with the likes of Kennedy(surely a felony to most conservatives). Now a large portion of the base is staying home rather than support RINO scum.....just look at the results from the NC races. Dole was tossed out and soon the weasel lil dickie burr will be looking for a new job.

It’s time for a new day within the Republican party
