Bush Sr was the problem, Dole was the problem, McCain was the problem, and now Romney is the problem. What is that definition of insanity again?

You make my point. NONE of these men were true conservatives, and none of them articulated conservative principles. They were all for the status quo, but at a slower pace. GWB was the closest we had to a conservative candidate in a while, but he too added to the size of government.

PS: An aside, but it really ticks me off, especially since the press intentionally makes this mistake all the time:

It is not Bush, Sr. and Bush Jr. One is GHWB and the other is GWB. The press intentionally did this while not referring to Al Gore correctly as Albert Arnold Gore, Jr., son of Senator Albert Arnold Gore, Sr.

That would be great if 51% of the people in this country were hard-core conservatives. But as the last 6 or 7 elections proved to us, that is not the case anymore. Starting in the late 60's our kids have been indoctrinated in communism by our public schools since kindergarten and the conservative movement gets smaller with each generation. We saw this and did nothing ... now we see the results. Let's face it, McCarthy was right.

When I enlisted many years ago, I learned that I was not a Jr. Not because my name wasn't the same as my father's, it was but because there was no Jr. on my birth certificate.

Following that logic, G.W.B. is a Jr. if it's on his birth certificate, same with the Gores.

In common speech I believe most people use, "Bush Sr. and Bush Jr." to differentiate between the elder and the younger.
