But if the people aren't ready for conservatism now, what makes you think they will be in 4 more years?
What makes you think that they know or even care about a conservative winner when no one outside of Paul or Cain can't be defined as one?
I think this will happen, IF someone wins other than Obama, it is not because they are better than Obama but because people fired Obama - nothing more than that.
It amazes me that so many people can't tell the difference between the most radically liberal president this country's ever had and even the moderate GOP candidates.
Why is that amazing?
We lived with a republican majority under Clinton and still we had spending too much going on, and under Bush didn't we increase spending kind of a lot?
Didn't many also make the claim that Clinton was the most radically liberal president we had?
The first item to consider might be the fact that these candidates have pledged to repeal, defund or issue to the states a blanket opt-out for Obamacare.
Ain't going to happen, it just won't.
There is absolutely no fight in the congress now so to expect it to happen by any republican mainstream idiots is like expecting the sun to rise in the west.
The second would be the de-regulation of our energy resources and the overhaul, if not outright elimination of the EPA as we know it.
Nope won't happen either, not with the republicans. They care just like the dems about poll numbers and getting reelected and the president, who ever it is, will also care.
Third would be the re-funding of our military, combined with the other areas that would see significant budget cuts (eg. Green Jobs) under a GOP administration.
How about we cut the military to what we really need, take our troops out of Korea, the Middle East, all Nato operations and end our participation with Nato and the UN - the amount of money we spend comes out of those defense budgets.
Revamp the military contract system, redo our military life cycle programs and return to an open disposal system for military good to the tax payers - all money savers.
Granted, the GOP is not without sin but the growth of government and the related spending went ballistic the moment Obama took office, especially the first two years when he was supported by Democrat super majorities in Congress. The two parties are NOT the same fiscally - no way, no how.
But they are the same, that is what it looks like to the common person who doesn't know who a democrat is or what a republican stands for.
There seems to be a misconception that the people care about politics in this country, we are one of the few that is politically inept when it comes to who's who and what's what in our government.
Part of this is because the media but a large part of it has to do with the fact that like the relationship that the government has with business, the one that the people see is not about working together or anything close to it but a divisive and hostile place where nothing gets done except to spend money.
How about the republicans grasping onto a few good ideas for once, like making a single voting day that is a holiday - elections are held on that day and the polls are open 24 hours. None of this opens at 7 and closes at 7 crap with people scrambling around after work.
