it's been a long time coming. it wasn't like public education, hmos, wars on poverty and drugs, terrorist bombings, global intervention, and so on all just appeared overnight.
the national-level republicans' only recourse has ever been "at least we were the opposition party" or "at least we made sure it wasn't so bad."
Drove it straight over a cliff, he did. Good riddance to bad rubbish, and may we now have the vision and fortitude to make our own arrangements, as befits a free people.
Bush is a Globo-Socialist just like his Daddy. If you look at the big picture as a continuous ride along the path to global socialism, you realize that Ronald Reagan was a speed-bump. He wasn't supposed to happen. If the assassination attempt had been successful in 1981, then Daddy Bush would have been President and the program of "progress" would have continued unabated, unhindered, and unstalled.
Bush's "compassionate" [sic] conservatism was his failed attempt to put a happy face on statism.
As a result, he ruined the Republican Party. The NeoCons who are left still don't understand. Never will. Example: John Boehner:
“It’s very hard these days to be a leader like John Boehner who tries to find the middle ground,” said former Connecticut Republican Rep. Chris Shays, one of the last Northeastern moderates, who was beaten by Democrat Jim Himes last year.
“He’s a conservative, but he’s less conservative than his base,” Shays added.
Long before the tea parties or Wilson’s outburst, Boehner and Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.) had struggled to moderate the rhetorical excesses of House conservatives hammering away on Obama’s birth certificate, decrying the creation of “death panels” and ferreting out signs of creeping socialism.
Sources say they have been especially wary of the possible damage inflicted on the party’s reputation by bomb-throwing Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), who last fall called for an investigation into whether members of Congress are “pro-America or anti-America.” ---------------
Well, obviously, Michele has more balls than John.
Yeah, he did. He made it my ex-party in 2003. (Campaign Finance Reform.)
