Jim,
I have never helped elect any Dem. I have worked phone banks, walked precincts, pimped candidates in my newspaper column, sponsored debates, and been a real go-getter for the GOP in my 16 years of adulthood. The brand of GOP that we now have in power has lost its compass and is adrift with no direction. The biggest expansion in the police state in my lifetime came under GOP governance. With that, the crowd roared in approval. They make no effort to reduce the scope of taxation. Sure, the rates went down by a fart in a windstorm's amount (they had a GOP house and senate with a GOP president - WOW what courage!) The welfare stare marches on, and we still think there is something to the GOP other than maintaining power at any cost. They don't know what to do with their power. Liberal twinkies like Lott, GHWB, Chaffee, Giuliani, Dole, Dole, are the standard bearers of "our" party. I'm old enough to remember when Reagan, Roth, and Kemp cut taxes with a Demoncrat House. They didn't whimper in with a few bucks here and there, no, they took a meat axe to the Federal appetite for taxes. They stood tall and proud. The libs said the sky would fall, and it did when that horrible excuse of a "conservative" signed the largest tax increase in our history in 1990.

Your site is dedicated to the restoration of a constitutional republic. I applaud that. Tell me, what has the modern GOP done to further your goal? Your fellow FReepers have detailed just how they have done the opposite.

Orion's Maxim If you have a boot stamping on your face, forever, the political pursuasion of the person wearing the boot is irrelevant.

The only thing that scares me about the GOP police state, over the Dem police state, is that we are smart enough to know what we are doing.
