“It did more than that. Our country was already well down the road to socialism due to the policies of LBJ’s hero, FDR. However, LBJ did accelerate that effort with Medicare, the Voters Rights Act, and other things.”

And Nixon not only failed to repeal any of Johnson’s programs, he added more. Which is one reason that Republican moderates are a bad option.

Republican moderates are always bad. A liberal with an (R) next to their name is still a liberal, no matter how long and hard they try and convince us otherwise.

The moderate Republicans will tell us that just a little bit of socialism is not nearly as bad as the large amount of socialism the Democrats are trying to sell us, but in the end they are still trying to sell us socialism.

A part of me thinks we need to stop referring to Republicans as Republicans and start labeling them as either Conservatives or liberals (moderates would fall under the liberal label).
