[Mr. Jeeves]

Where have all the liberals gone?

Just like conservatives, they stop playing libertarian for public consumption once they have the power.

Voters (see Exhibit A: California) still hear only the lofty rhetoric long after the deeds have stopped matching the words.

Nailed it! 6 months to a year into the net republican presidency and most conservatives will have forgotten all about the Fourth Amendment and the previously compliant liberals will be up in arms. Meanwhile the government will grow.. and grow and grow and grow.

Of course, there may not be a next republican president. Or president for that matter.
