now someone is speaking my language.
republicans allowed their party to be hijacked by neocons for one, as well as the ultra-religious...they've tilted more towards big govt which is something i will never agree with. of course you do have a significant portion of the population who feels ALL their woes should be solved by a govt program. enough of them vote and you get larger govt. it's ridiculous. the govt here in ark actually passed laws on having vending machines in schools, and what times of day that kids could buy out of them. not little kids, but high schoolers--the ones who are old enough to be tried as an adult for crimes, old enough to make reproductive decisions, yet not mature enough to decide if they want a snicker bar or not. to me that is a perfect example of the govt butting in where it doesn't belong.
