The era of true conservatism is over and government will continue to increase no matter who is in the presidency. It may be a little slower if a Republican is there, but it will nevertheless continue to grow and grow and grow.
As a result of it growing, the population of the US, and those growing up, will begin to expect more of what the government is supposed to give them, and expect more of the services the goverment is supposed to give them.
They will want more and more, and people will be quick to run on platforms supporting this.
This is what is happening and there is no stopping it. It is inevitable.
And all this talk about the GOP trying to destroy the Demcorats, by getting their voters to vote for the GOP, and then when they are in large Congressional majority, they will go back to true conservative is a bunch of boloney as well. Think about it. They will have to play to those voters they have swayed or risk being voted out! Those voters who FAVOR national healthcare, medicare, big government, benefits to illegal immigrants, world government, etc.
