There is really only one party! The democrats admit they are for big government while the republican clones are deceptive by giving us big government on a "piece meal" basis or have we forgotten the 44,000+ new employees on the govt's (our) payroll?

How about the "Homeland Security" bueaucracy just created
by our conservative President? We now have commissar!, oops, I mean a new cabinet position. Was George Orwell's 1984 off by 20 years?

Have we forgotten the Pres. signed the CFR bill that limits free speech knowing full well it violated the 1st amendment?
Have we forgotten the government's land grabs? Have we forgotten the gov't's grab for power with the mis-named p.a.t.r.i.o.t. act which was passed by a republican congress without even reading what was in the law?

Have we forgotten the billions spent by the republican's and the watered down adoption of the democrat's social policies?

Have we forgotten the $190,000,000,000 farm bill passed and signed into law by the conservative republican President and the republican controlled congress?

I know that the loyalists of the republicrats will say it's smart politics, but, what they are admitting is that they accept duplicity as long as their guys and girls do it!

Oh, yes, they do throw us a "nugget" every now and then and they make great speeches to make us "feel good", but, bottom line, I see a pattern of government intrusion into our lives in the interest of "security".

Ask your representative why Section 802 of the p.a.t.r.i.o.t act has no expiration date while the rest of the act has a 4 year lifespan! Can you guess why that is?

One more thing, did it ever occur to anyone that we are only given the choice of voting for frick or frack by the power brokers and powerful families?

JFTR, I am not a libertarian, communist, socialist or any other name you may wish to flame me with. I am an old American who is tired and distrustful of all politicians who violate their oaths to uphold the Constitution. I do not wish to give up my liberties or freedom on the false premise/promise of big government "protecting" me, thank you. Remember what Mom & Dad told us about trusting strangers.

Precisely. 'Pod

Your post rings true, and has the weight of sincerity in every word. But with an absence of political options, especially in a world where a 90's Republican has more in common with a 20's Socialist than with the founding fathers, it is the thread of the common enemy that continues stringing us along. A wise man once said that to hunt monsters requires that you become one yourself; I wonder when we will have crossed the point of no return.

Bump for a courageous, thoughtful, and, most of all, true post.
I can't for the life of me understand why people continue to equate Republican with conservative.
Finally, this is a conservative website. Nowhere in the organizational documents that I've seen, is there any reference to this being a Republican website.

The general public doesn't care much for politics thus their general disinterest. They're becoming increasingly motivated to vote for candidates that are the most rational and honest. The same is occurring in the marketplace -- especially with news media and education.
