Instead of getting defensive - why do you give specific problems you have with the Republican Party?
Can I?
- Abortion. Either try to end it or stop making it the way you get people with two teeth and no money to vote for a party that wants to create a system of landed royalty. Good job milking it, though, I'm jealous.
- "Neo-Cons" Whatever that means anymore. The world is not ours for the taking. Ron Paul is the only one of you (and his kind) that makes any sense to me. If you want smaller government and therefore smaller taxes, you can't peek your nose into everything I do and every other country does, and you certainly can't grow the size of government.
- Tax and spend liberals like me want to spend what we have. Borrow and spend philosophy is not conservative philosophy, it's stupid philosophy. This is where Bill Clinton made sense to me. We need a surplus to pay down this incredible amount of debt we've got. The national debt worries me as much as anything but the disappearing bees. You can't spend more than you have.
- The economy exists to serve us. Not we it.
- The middle class. The Republican Party has adopted several stances designed (perhaps not always consciously) to end the middle class. The middle class is the most important segment of society, and if the Republicans continue to gain power (as evidenced by the relative conservatism of the two Democrats left) this place will look like a random Central American country where there is a landed gentry that runs the country and 95+% of the population is dirt poor and nearly or completely illiterate.
- A couple of things I like:
- Your organization and the way you do business. I'm jealous.
- The welfare reform Clinton signed in the 90s. He was the best Republican president ever. Besides Lincoln. And stop counting Lincoln.
