I wonder how long the GOP has been a soft Liberal party. I believe Reagan stole the party back from the Liberals ("moderates") in 1980. Eisenhower allowed taxes and government to grow crazily in the 50's. How far back do you have to go? I think sometime in the late 1800's/early 1900's, America found itself without a political party that would put America and its Christian, traditional values first. I think ever since then the GOP has put its own interests and political perpetuation ahead of what's best for America.
The country has withstood an amazingly long period of time without sustained organizational and institutional support. May God Himself continue to bless and uphold America against her enemies, within and without, until He returns for His own.
If starting a third party wasn’t such a pain in the ass.... really who does the GOP represent? Us on FR? Nope. Not a one of them does. I used to think Sarah Palin might, but lately she has just gone starry-eyed. As painful as it is certain to be - the gas prices of the summer of $5/gal will ensure Obama’s doom. She could’ve been catapulted to the top easily with her commonsense energy policies. Romney, Newt, Santorum, and Paul aren’t capable in that arena. Perry is, but he will be done in a week or so. Too bad, because he has been a decent Governor. Romney, should he win the nomination, will need the fuel prices as he is neutered on Obamacare.

I don’t believe he raised taxes , he just didn’t lower them . He was a deficit cutter for sure .
