“The problem is that the “conservative base” prefers to cuddle with the Republican Party, and I know of few (if any) young’uns who trust the Republican Party, especially after the Party’s behavior of the past decade. Shucks, I myself don’t trust the Republican Party after Bush and a Republican Congress went on a spending orgy!”
Perfect time to recall that it was a GOP controlled Congress and Dubya the idiot who passed Medicare Part D aka “free pills for granny paid for by the younger workers.” Most of the old folks around here are all about small government till you threaten to cut THEIR free pill gravy train.
Ninety-nine percent of conservatives are about small, limited government until it comes time to cut their favorite program or stop issuing them checks.
