Too bad they don't actually follow through. The "Bush Tax Cuts" aren't really tax-cuts so much as a sort of per-applied subsidy. A real tax-cut would be lowering the rates in the tax-brackets... or, even better, changing to a flat-rate no-deductions/credits/exemptions/discounts.
Its been a long time, though, since I've heard a full-throated defense of liberty and limited government by any big-name Repub.
Ron Paul is the last one that I can recall really making a big deal about it... and look at how people even here react to him.
We aren't going to turn this around by deal-making. It does little good to win if the people you win with don't believe in the things you believe in.
I agree.
I've been saying this for a while; if the republicans don't do what they say they will do, then they-as-a-party are useless.
The beliefs held by those who had a visceral, negative reaction to Ron Paul are the exact beliefs that are not selling at all to young voters and turning them off to the GOP. Ron Paul is almost a perfect litmus test.
