I voted for Republicans because I am generally conservative. When and why did my conservative Republican party, resurrected by Reagan, die again?<BR/><BR/>What the heck can we do when Republicans spend money like Democrats, ignore American's wishes of closing the borders, turn a deaf ear to pleas to open ANWR and relieve energy needs ever so slightly, etc, etc, etc.<BR/><BR/>I think I might have political despair. My party finally is in power in 2, and soon all 3 branches of government, but they clearly have no intention of doing things I helped elect them to do.<BR/><BR/>*whine*blogagoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07359382592912601640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15375010.post-1149370164406290742006-06-03T17:29:00.000-04:002006-06-03T17:29:00.000-04:00The problem now is, can the country survive anothe...The problem now is, can the country survive another Democratic takeover? If so, then it's time to relegate the Republicans to history with the Whigs. <BR/><BR/>Sad, but the party of Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt has become a shadow of itself and is practically hand-in-hand with the Socialist swing of the Democrats. The Grand Old Party is the Grumpy/Gimpy Other Party.benninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12883327259794768568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15375010.post-1149293679086197492006-06-02T20:14:00.000-04:002006-06-02T20:14:00.000-04:00Great post, and from what I see here, your third p...Great post, and from what I see here, your third party idea is desperately needed. Your two primary parties seem to be to powerful to care about anything that you the people want.

They both want to be "the big boys" and if the House abides by the Senate's crappy ideas, it makes them mere stooges and they don't ever want to be considered subordinates to the Senators.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10503148560467118087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15375010.post-1148764792437938182006-05-27T17:19:00.000-04:002006-05-27T17:19:00.000-04:00GW has his own weaknesses and blind spots in all t...GW has his own weaknesses and blind spots in all this, but this was a Senate disgrace.
