Jim, socialism is what is ruining the country. Socialism is rooted in both parties. The democrats and the republicans are both socialists when you get to the level of elected office.
The republicans have been telling this lie about having to pretend to be socialists to get elected ever since Reagan left office. Reagan ran as a conservative and won two landslides back to back. Wobbly rode Reagan's coattails into office and lost when he showed himself to be a liberal.
The revolution of '94 came about because the GOP let a lot of newcomers run on a conservative theme. Still, the GOP's analysts keep saying that conservatives can't win. The facts show differently. Everytime the GOP offers conservatism the electorate responds well to it, at least since Carter. Carter should have been the last democrat to hold office as president and he probably would have been had Reagan delivered and had Wobbly been conservative, and had the GOP found another conservative successor to Wobbly.
You're seeing this entirely differently than I am. We are on opposite coasts but the view shouldn't be that far out of whack.

Well, how do you propose getting rid of them? My plan is to get rid of the liberal Democrats first. And you know that I do not buy into the no difference between them hogwash, so don't even say it. If you really believe that nonsense then I wish you would go post on some other website.
