Dream on! It all depends on the political winds. Right now democrats cant escape blame and try as they might, are not getting points for running up debts without real job creation. Next year, who knows ? What we do know is Republicans are not telling us much about themselves(for obvious reasons). And Democrats don't want to talk about themselves either.
The answer will not be found in a political party, but in national repentance and return to the Creator God Who favored this country and its founding.
Have they saved us over the last 25 years?
Uh..How do you think we got here?
Heck yes, we can rely on the GOP to bring conservatism back to America. Remember the last time the Republicans managed to wrest power from the Democrats? Murder of unborn children was banned, steps were taken to stop Islam encroaching on American culture, and the border with Mexico got reinforced against foreign invasion. Even now in opposition, the GOP is vigorously putting pressure on Obama to actually follow the Constitution and release his long form birth certificate.

Do I sound bitter?
Dr. Williams, like me, believes that the 'Pubbies aren't going to ride up in shining armor on white chargers to save us. The Republican's history of controlling the Congress isn't what you would want to see on anyone's resume, ESPECIALLY that of the people we hope will save us from the communists.
But, Dr. Williams essentially lays the case in his last paragraph when he quotes Thomas Jefferson. If we want our cherished nation, Constitution and way of life restored, we're going to have to do our own heavy lifting. The "saviors" from the GOP ain't coming!
I remember what happened in 1994, just weeks after the November election. Newtie got a $4million book advance, and Rush carried his water. From what I read of the situation, it was legal, but IMO it stunk to high heaven. Newt's moral authority was diminished before he was ever handed the gavel.
Perhaps republicans will save us. Republicans are only interested in maintaining the political status quo and keeping themselves in power. The GOP is as culpable as the democrats.
“Will Republicans Save Us?”
No.
The American people growing some huevos will save us, but not politicians—not a chance.
I got my “I told ya so!” ready for post November.
If Americans don’t light a fire under their arses, then all we’ll have is some shiny new politicians to show for our efforts at the ballot box.
This is entirely the wrong question to ask, and illustrates why there are so many FReepers who do stupid things like vote third party, and who are all the time whining about the Republicans.
Face it folks, NO POLITICIAN is going to "save" us. This idea that we just have to find the "right" magical special person who will then ride in on their white steed and set all our wrongs aright is simply ludicrous.
You want to know why we get sold down the river? Because WE don't do enough for ourselves. WE don't hold politicians' feet to the fire. WE don't exercise the oversight that we ought to be as citizens of an ostensibly representative republic. WE abrogate our own responsibilities, and then expect some white knight to come in and rescue us.
So, are the Republicans going to save us? No. But is whining about the Republicans going to save us, either? No. Is electing Republicans over Democrats going, in the aggregate, have a more positive effect on this country than continuing to run third party candidates to split the vote and put Dims into office? Yes. People, have some perspective.
Have they saved us yet? Didn’t think so.
NO!
I have contempt for the notion that the US Constitution places limitations on federal power. The results are in. The Constitution creates virtually unlimited power.
If we admit this Consolidated Government it will be because we like a great splendid one. Some way or other we must be a great and mighty empire; we must have an army, and a navy, and a number of things: When the American spirit was in its youth, the language of America was different: Liberty, Sir, was then the primary object. We are descended from a people whose Government was founded on liberty: Our glorious forefathers of Great-Britain, made liberty the foundation of every thing. That country is become a great, mighty, and splendid nation; not because their Government is strong and energetic; but, Sir, because liberty is its direct end and foundation: We drew the spirit of liberty from our British ancestors; by that spirit we have triumphed over every difficulty:But now, Sir, the American spirit, assisted by the ropes and chains of consolidation, is about to convert this country to a powerful and mighty empire: If you make the citizens of this country agree to become the subjects of one great consolidated empire of America, your Government will not have sufficient energy to keep them together: Such a Government is incompatible with the genius of republicanism:
There will be no checks, no real balances, in this Government: What can avail your specious imaginary balances, your rope-dancing, chain-rattling, ridiculous ideal checks and contrivances?
Patrick Henry, June 5th, 1788
"And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor."
Once trust is lost it's almost impossible to get it back! Actions not words work for me.
No - republicans, as a brand, will not save us. They will only walk more slowly towards the same goals as the democrats. We need candidates interested in upholding the Constitution and representing the people who voted them into office. And we need a population constantly engaged in all the political processes, with a sharp eye for corruption. Then we need a true media - one not paid for by either party. Finally, and most importantly, what will save us is a true revival and for God to withhold His judgment upon this nation for a while longer.

We'll save ourselves if we'll be saved at all.
Republicans have proven time and again that party, privilege and power are more important than the good of the nation.
We need to break this stranglehold that the two party system has on our land.
Our representative republic has morphed into an oligarchy.
A few wealthy government, corporate, globalist elites working day and night to circumvent our freedoms.
