When the legislative and executive branches are all the same party, no matter what the party is they get drunk on the ease of moving legislation through and leave their party values behind. The current legislative and executive branches are spending like drunken sailors, and they claim to be Republicans.The Republican base is pissed off, the vast majority of Republicans you meet on the street don't know what the hell is going on with their party any more. Most Republicans don't know what a neo-con is as its a term coined by and used by Democrats, they know they related to Ronald Reagan, and if told what a neo-con is vs. what a Reagan Republican is, they will relate to being a Reagan Republican.
we need 0 parties! more parties = more corruption, less definitive solutions, slower progress, and a greater division between the people of america.just because Europe does it, and you think that they're "cool" doesn't mean that its the best.
Everyday I find myself in the same boat with a growing number of dillusioned Republicans and I find it hopeful for the upcoming elections.See tacky187s comment above. Very thoughtful and well expressed. The scary blind faith and "fanboy-ism" of some are being balanced at long last by an intelligent and free-thinking group who I am sure are ready for some big changes.I hope it only snowballs into something powerful and active by November.
Well, I don't think "don't vote at all" is quite the way to go. Millions of people didn't vote in our last election, and we have no way of knowing whether it was because they had no faith in our system, didn't like the choices offered, or popped a flat on the way to the ballot box.If you don't vote at all, the only thing it "shows" everyone is that they have no reason to be concerned about your views.

True conservative values would never have gotten us into this mess.
