.... the Republican Party. It is the continuos promises that the Republican Party makes, such as Limited Government, Lower Taxes, Fiscal Responsibility, Family Values, Privacy, Focusing on Our Hemisphere, Property Rights, etc., etc., etc.
Yet, when the Republican Party actually gained control of both the Presidency and both houses of Congress, their actions were completely opposite of their platform and avowed principles.
Here is there list accomplishments:
- The Largest Expansion of Government Power since, well, Richard Nixon
- Passage of the Patriot Act
- Historic Increases in Deficit Spending
- 2 Invasions and Occupation Sovereign Nations
- Failure to Pass Their Family Values through Legislation
- Subsidized Tax Refunds to People Who Do Not Pay Taxes
- Failure to Make Tax Cuts Permanent
The Republican Party is poised to present itself as the only alternative to Barack Obama and a Democratic Party that is bent on turning America into a socialistic, government depending nation. The problem with this thought process is the fact is the Republican Party runs a government just as bad if not worse than the Democrats. The traditional Tax and Spend policy of the Democratic Party is just as bad the Republican's traditional of Deficit Spending policy.
Many voters are just as dissatisfied with the Republicans as they are the Democrats. A bad taste from the Bush years seems to linger and not go away as Obama, Pelosi, and their goons run roughshod on America. Let's hope that voters do not develop another case of amnesia.
