GOP: The Party of Big Government Dec 8, 2003 5:03:58 GMT -5 Quote Select PostDeselect PostLink to PostMemberGive GiftBack to Top Post by RS Davis on Dec 8, 2003 5:03:58 GMT -5 [glow=red,2,300]Rep.

When does the conservative base of the GOP, a base that remains firmly committed to the principle of limited government, finally demand new leadership and a return to conservative values? Will conservatives abandon the party when they realize the GOP, at least under its current leadership, is simply not interested in reducing the size and scope of the federal government? With Republicans controlling the administration and the legislature, and nominally controlling the Supreme Court, the party has run out of other people to blame. One thing is certain: Republicans who support bigger entitlement programs and bigger federal budgets have lost all credibility as advocates for limited government. - Rick
