[ Richard Milhous Nixon ]
When the party moved away from the ideals of Goldwater and more towards the ideals of Big Government NWO RINOism, we really failed as a country.

Which is actually very interesting. Do you think that the current “under 30” group will EVER vote Republican if they as-a-party do not ACTUALLY strive for the accomplishment of their stated party-planks THIS TERM? Consider that the Republican party has a VERY, VERY bad remembered-history with this group {Reagan is a non-remembered historical abnormality of the implementation of “conservative”-values}. In the last decade, especially when the Republican-party had control of the Executive and Legislative branches, how many times was a law/amendment nationally outlawing abortion proposed? Zero; and overturning Roe v. Wade *IS* in the Republican-party’s officially stated platform-planks. How about the repealing/rolling-back of gun control? Nope, nothing on that front about the only thing that can be said about the Republican-party on that is that they allowed the sunset-clause of Clinton’s “Assault Weapons Ban” happen... BFD, there’s a big difference between passively ‘letting’ something happen and actively ‘making’ something happen.
The Democratic-party, however, *does* push for it’s platform-planks. In that sense the Democrats *ARE* more honest than the Republicans. {And remember NY-23 & what the Republican-party did there!}
I think that the Republican Party has “one [last] chance” to prove itself; that is to say if they do nothing to ACTIVELY fight against government-creep in these next two years then they will have proved themselves to be irrelevant non-answers to the policies embraced/pushed by the Democratic-party.
