The Rockefeller republicans have dominated the party since Eisenhower, except for Goldwater and Reagan. Even Reagan was unable to restrain the growth of government. It became obvious when they joined in the discrediting of Palin and in their resentment of the Tea Party Movement. They will never give up their control of the Presidential nomination. That is, unless we can find candidates who will take them on.
Sometimes one just has to face the truth, the Republican Party is not just stupid, it’s as corrupt as the Rat Party! We actually had almost no choice between the fascist or the corporatist....same old crappy candidates!
