Whether you vote Democrat or Republican you get a big government candidate.

By the way, if you think that Clinton was worse than GHW Bush then I suggest that you look at Bush's increasing deficits and Clinton's decreasing deficits. Clinton was better than either Bush as far as budgetary matters were concerned. The reason why he cut spending wasn't because he was a small government Democrat.

Clinton never recovered from the beating his wife took over her fascist health care system. The Republicans gave him a second chance to increase the government by running big government Dole and then deliberately crippling Dole's campaign. Clinton continually vetoed Republican pork spending in the hope that it would force Republicans out of office when their constituents didn't get any goodies from the government. His strategy failed so the Republican wing took over and put Big Government Bush into office. He succeeded beyond their wildest dreams with the Patriot Act, No Child Left Behind and Medicare Part D.

Barack Obama will win in 2012 if the conservatives and libertarians stay home again because the Republican wing runs some big government schmuck like Romney.

However, if there is no Republican wing in 2012 then Obama would have to face a real small government candidate from a real second party.

“The Republicans still have no leadership program.” The training lower level and local Republicans to be more effective leaders (they are always getting snookered by the dp), and more knowlegable about conservative principles and basic thought (they could use that all the way up the line). The military has excellent leadership programs, civilian political leaders should get some kind of formal or semi-formal training.

Thanks for stating the bleeding obvious. What you didn't say was that if the bill required 300 votes there would have been 42 Republicans voting for it.

There is only one party, the Big Government party. Politicians use the same focus groups, the same political advisers and the same polls. When the Democrats are in power the Republicans are the phony opposition. When the Republicans are in power the same is true of the Democrats.

The goal is total government and both sides work to increase government power in different areas. The Democrats work to control the economy and the Republicans work to control the culture but both work to destroy liberty. Neither Bush nor Obama did anything to increase liberty nor will any other establishment Republican or Democrat.

What Morris said of Democrats is true of the entire one party political system. We don't need another Contract with America, we need a second party.
