They have taken their eye off the ball and have become the very folks they replaced in the Gingrich Revolution. I guess if any party gets too comfortable this is innevitable. So what next? Maybe we do need more than two viable parties. They have become merely two sides of the same coin. I would love to see a third, fourth, fifth? party upset their little applecart. Of course, if the apathetic voting public simply quit electing the same old comfortable incumbants, we could achieve the same thing.

You'd feel better about agreeing if you knew I campaigned actively for Barry Goldwater back in the day.
Unfortunately, it's not only spending that violates the true conservative principles. It's growth of the Federal government and increased intrusiveness into our lives. So without changing my principles, I find there's a better fit for me in the Democratic party.
One point of his that I liked is the principle that the executive and legislative need to be different parties. Looking back, the best years were those where the least legislation was passed.
