So, are we conservatives going to fall for a political messiah the way the libs do? SP is just another politician. If you look at her record, she has no great aversion to raising taxes on companies, which, of course, means people.
All pols say what it takes to get elected. They make grandiose promises they know they cannot keep, and shortly after the election, the honeymoon ends. It happens no matter which party is in power.
If SP could truly reduce the size and power of government, it would be wonderful, but remember what happened every other time we put our trust in politicians. I have yet to see any large bureaucracies pared down, let alone eliminated.
We need some fundamental change that will put a permanent, short leash on government, and I don’t really know what that might be. The only think I have thought might do it is to devise a formula so that the taxpayers whose senators vote for less spending pay less in taxes than the people in states whose senators vote for a lot of spending. Such a law will never be passed.
Changing the people who occupy the positions of power never seems to do any good. The slide into socialism continues.
I’ve changed my political affiliation to “Cynical”. ;-)

That is my party too. You got the right idea. I guess humans revert to that time as a kid that they thought a TV character was a real hero, and long for that.
