I appreciate your emotional involvement in an important issue but you overlook some facts. George Bush tried to change Social Security as one of his first acts as President. The media, the Democrat Congress, the unions and all the other usual suspects viciously attacked him and killed the idea.
Newt Gingrich and the Republican House put the brakes on many of Bill Clinton’s liberal ideas. He and Hillary tried to enact national health care themselves. If not for the Republicans in Congress Bill Clinton would have been as bad as Obama. Without the Republicans in Congress Obama would have done even more than he already has. Look how long it took him to get this far on healthcare after a year of non-stop campaigning and arm twisting.
Without Republicans, even the rinos, we would be much worse off.
I don’t know about you personally, but I often suspect many who blast Republicans and demand a 3rd party effort are actually liberals moles trying to dishearten and misinform conservatives. Many of you demand a candidate who is perfect according to your standards.
Sarah Palin is as close as I have seen in a long time and many of you find fault with her.
Your apology for George Bush’s statism won’t wash. Not only did he give us No Child Left Behind, but the prescription drugs boondogle e.g. the greatest expansion in socialized medicince since Medicare, that is until his fellow statist Obama, pushed through Obamacare.
