Which fundamental belief is the GOP wrong on?

[mkjessup]

Here is one for your contemplation:

The continued expansion and ever increasing power of the federal government. The eight years of George W. Bush saw the most unprecedented expansion of federal control since LBJ, and it laid the foundations for the seizure of large segments of the U.S. economy and social structure by the current 0bamunist regime.

Republicans over the past decade have behaved no differently than ‘Rats in enlarging the federal presence at the expense of the individual States.

How’s that?

Unfortunately, generally speaking, there is no fundamental belief that the existing leadership of the Republican Party will not sacrifice on the altar of expediency.

There may be some VERY small remnant of individuals that could be considered "leaders" of the formerly grand old party of which the above isn't true, but it is true of the overwhelming majority of those who possess actual power in the Republican Party today.

Everything is negotiable to them. Everything. When met by superior earthly power they fold like a cheap suit. Because that sort of power is the only thing they understand and will respond to.

Is my claim harsh? Yes. Is it true? My experience over many years at all levels of the GOP, in almost every section of the country, tells me it is.
